@Msbabedoll305 @simonjplumb @OCPSnews Please step into a classroom and then talk badly about teachers… I bet you won’t

@simonjplumb @OCPSnews These new teachers are not the same as the teacher we had in school. Their job is much easier. These kids don’t know how to write in cursive, they don’t know their timetables by hard. I don’t even think they do spelling tests anymore. #Theoldteachergotcheatedoutoftheirsalary

We are pleased to announce the school board determined our teachers should receive, pending ratification, the much deserved salary supplement, bonus, and salary increase which is between $2,600-$6,000 for the 2021-22 school year depending on years of service & performance evals.

Texts in hand 🤚 and collaborating on identifying the main purpose and what the author wants to explain, answer or describe

Collaborating with partners to create a Classifying Map of non-fiction text features!! Building Readers and Leaders 🥰😍

@SandyLivesey This makes me so happy!!!!!

It’s a great start to the day when multiple students enter the classroom saying “Ms. Livesey, my reading log is full, can I get a new one!” Love developing and growing their love of reading 📖

@sawgrass_bay This was absolutely amazing!! My students feel blessed and are appreciative of the donor!!

We received a very generous donation for our Bobcats! Every student will be able to choose a toy 🧸

This is how the Monday before a break looks!! Someone got sick in the car on the way to school

It always warms my heart when previous students from years ago constantly stop by to say hi!! I always check in to see how they are doing and encourage them to do well! I’ll always be their teacher, regardless of what grade they’re in!

Grateful for technology!! It allows collaborative learning to still take place even for students who are absent! #Mathematics

Found some great enrichment activities on Envision, which was perfect for collaboration learning and some extra practice!!! @KinderOwl @LeesChristina

In math, during our collaborative learning, I heard a student tell another “I’m going to model my thinking!” It was music to my ears!!!

Collaborating in action!!! Reading a text Telephone History, to make connections in historical events!

Procedural Practice on addition while collaborating ❤️

After modeling partial sums as a whole group, we continued with guided instruction in one small group and collaboration in other groups! Guided group/small group also used base-value blocks to help guide their thinking and understanding 🤔@LeesChristina @KinderOwl

I love to use concrete thinking to connect to representational thinking! My Leaders noticed a pattern in adding 10s without me pointing it out which led to a discussion based on their own observations. I enjoyed the deep learning and engagement today!

When mathematicians struggled with adding on a 100 chart, you find a fun interactive way of teaching it and them practicing! All the students were independently solving it in their desks!

2nd Grade Leaders are learning about adjectives so we created a descriptive thinking map about me!! They had a lot of fun with this ❤️

My first day teaching 2nd!!! We started it by creating a circle map to brainstorm ideas for Our Class Mission Statement!! #buildingleaders

Fun Friday of learning in full effect!!! Boom 💥 Task Cards to practice reading and writing decimals to the thousandths. 5thgradefun

Excited to start a novel study for “Because of Winn-Dixie!”
