Strawberry Hill, an Extension of RIS

@CCtheJOY We are so lucky she and her sister joined us this year!

Beautiful, brave, strong girl we are so grateful to know you! 💙🇺🇦💛

@CCBoeger @Rodrig444 These were so beautiful! I loved that they recognized that we’re here to make them feel special. 💜

My favorite happy note was to ⁦@Rodrig444⁩ “if you ever get angry and need some breathing strategies…” apparently, this is the kid you need to help out in this situation. 😂 🤣😍

@Flynn0524’s 6th grade Individual & Societies classes created Essential Agreements through the lens of the Learner Profile! They recognized their individual and shared responsibilities and demonstrated their commitment to themselves and other members of our learning community! 🍓

@CCBoeger Mine came today!

Excited to begin some summer reading! This one will be first.

@mrparkteach4 @miss_mould @mlinton1616 @AngelaLyden3 @mrdeluca3 @tressakinahan You all did such a fantastic job! It was incredible to see how it all came together under your guidance! ~Mrs. Kinahan

Last night the Stamford Asset Management Group presented a plan for new schools. This includes a Cloonan-Roxbury combination. The presentation is here: stamfordct.gov/sites/stamford…. The meeting video is here cityofstamford.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.ph… @SPSSuper @olympiaeducates #SPSChallenge #cmsnews

We began this morning’s PD by gathering together to share a yummy potluck breakfast and to create a whole staff “Gratitude Tree!” #attitudeofgratitude #thankfulnovember

We start our morning with a roll and share activity with partners! I listened as Ss shared what makes them happy, their aspirations, adjectives that describe themselves to each other. Everyday is an opportunity to learn about others’ perspectives and communicate your own!

Love it!

#ATL collaboration and communication skills here trying to fold a paper into 4 equal parts as many ways as possible. Teamwork-learning with and from each other is building a close community. #allhandsondeck ⁦@StrawberryIB⁩

Loving the creativity at recess to turn this sign into a friendly piece of art. Kid art and imagination is the best. ⁦@nwoodsart⁩ ⁦@StrawberryIB⁩

We have a kind of fish expert here who is teaching us how to care for and feed our new guppies. He and his dad have hundreds of beautiful fish at home. Thanks, Buddy! 🐟🐠🐡⁦@StrawberryIB⁩ #allhandsondeck

The students have a great time during our “Snack & Chats!” Today, the focus was a “See, Think and Wonder” on some interesting pictures! The students eat and chat when the music is on and when it stops, it’s time to work together! #snack&chats #IB #studentagency

Walking through our hallways admiring the brilliant creativity of our IB students led by @nwoodsart @StrawberryIB #creativity #art

First graders are working cooperatively to sort namers (nouns) into 4 categories. This is a great introduction to sentence building. ⁦@StrawberryIB⁩

Now this was an original 💡 idea! This student’s family made up a quick game about her favorite things and we moved to corners of the room to coincide with our guesses about her to see who wins. High fives for our winners! ⁦@StrawberryIB⁩

Kindergartners engaging in a visible thinking strategy to share ideas. SEE, THINK, WONDER. @StrawberryIB @mbenhiudiath

Learning about CT’s state insect during recess today! Photo cred goes to @MrParkTeach #hellomrmantis! #spslearns
