@SmekensEd I attended 3 of her sessions and gained so much from all of them!! Thank you!

If you're attending #tekscon24 this week, join Kristina Smekens at one of her strategy-packed sessions! #tekscon #teksrs

Tag Team Teachers! My partner teacher conferencing with students on their data binders, and me conferencing with students on their personal narratives!

@MrHunterORE Thanks for a great year! Here’s to another one next year!

That’s a wrap on year 2…& it flew by. I’d like 2 say it got easier, but not sure that’s the case. Things are more normal & routine, but it’s a job full of variables which presents new “hard” everyday. I 🧡 my kids & my staff. I’m blessed. Shoutout 2 @Sharoniscarin97 4 my sign!

@MrHunterORE I love that you do this! One of my favorite things too ❤️

This is, by far, my favorite thing we do at #OvertonRay. There is nothing better than seeing the joy and excitement on a kid’s face when you knock on their door and tell them they are a #RayRockstar! #celebRAYte #KidsDeserveIt @Sharoniscarin97

@jhawkins4th @lead4ward Looks fun!! We need to get together so you can share how this activity played out!!

Students @JohnTower2022 reviewing for their unit exam with @lead4ward toss a question

Final product complete- invention ✅ Trial and error/failure ✅ Driving question answered ✅ Lots of learning and fun ✅ Truly proud of this PBL and how hard the kids worked and collaborated with one another!

When you are told to ask for something because “the worst you can be told is no”, you ask for the school popcorn machine to model an invention for your PBL!! Kids had a blast eating popcorn while collaborating! Even had a Watchdog to help today 🧡 🐾

@eliznolanALPS Thank you! It truly is!!

@Sharoniscarin97 I LOVE this…definitely a life skill!

Collaboration challenge. We are learning to listen to each other’s ideas and work through trail and error within the PBL process.

We are inventors!! Starting our PBL on inventions. Our focus will be in collaboration and research.

@MrHunterORE Proud of you, Lincoln!!

Lincoln with the 2-pt conversion. It has been a learning experience with this being his first year in football (besides flag football last year). He’s learning to be more aggressive which leads to being more confident. He’s getting there! #TrustTheProcess #FutureBulldog

End of year character trait compliments! Each student had an envelope on their desk. Other students could write a compliment and put it in their envelope! Their positive spirit was awesome to watch as they created a complimentary environment ❤️

It’s okay to celebrate the success of others. Get that hate out your heart.

Reviewing can be fun when it is a camping theme!

@davemiddlebrook Yes!! The kids got so much from this lesson. I love this concept! Thank you!

@Sharoniscarin97 Hi Sharon. #textmapping This is good to see! May I use these photos on textmapping.org?

Students collaborating with text mapping. They did great!

Text Mapping! Learned this process from another teacher in an online teacher group. The kids loved the process! They get to do it in groups tomorrow! Stay tuned!!!!

PBL final product- Published authors and illustrators! Thanks to Burkburnett’s Legacy Foundation, 45 students received a copy of their class book! #studentreasures #PBL #BeInSpireD

@MrHunterORE Hope he realizes how hard educators/administrators work!! And glad I still have a job 🤣

I had a couple students shadow me today to experience what life was like as a principal. They did morning announcements and facilitated a fire drill as part of their duties. They also did observations and provided valuable feedback. 😂 @Sharoniscarin97 #TheBulldogWay #ThisIsUs

End product for our poetry PBL. Each kid made their own poetry anthology with the styles of poetry we studied. Laminated and bound, these kids were so excited to take these home! #BeInSpireD #ThisIsUs
