HYS in action 🎶 Mix & Freeze style in 2nd! Music on = dancing. Music off = deep thinking. HYS Mix & Freeze has my students discussing, defending answers, and owning their learning… all while having the BEST time! @HumbleISD_ACE @Humble_ElemELA

Students started with a passage and now we’re diving deep into plot Using a carousel to write our thinking, build on each other’s ideas, and check for understanding as we go. real discussion, real reasoning, happening in every rotation. @HumbleISD_ACE

Students are playing IQ Slap Down: Social Contract style 🔥 The social contract isn’t “one more thing” to manage. it’s the foundation that makes everything else run smoother. Real scenarios. Real conversations. Real accountability. 💬 @HumbleISD_ACE

Let the work speak for itself! I mean come on! Second graders are showing how hard we are working! @HumbleISD_ACE @TrinaB2021

Students nominated their peers to be our Blue Jay of the Week! They reflected on who truly lived out our social contract last week, showing respect, responsibility, and kindness to others. It’s powerful when students recognize and celebrate positive choices! @HumbleISD_ACE

Sometimes the best PD is the teacher down the hall! I got to watch @MissE_Wash! I saw incredible student discourse, thoughtful justifications of answer choices and students working to build their response to a prompt. We grow best when we learn from each other. @HumbleISD_ACE

Love seeing our student leaders welcome classmates each morning! 💙 So proud of the kindness and leadership they show. #StudentLeadership #BlueJays #growthwins

@HumbleISD_ACE Eeeek! Look at my Blue Jays making my vision a reality! They are so excited to be pod greeters! What a great way to start the day!

2nd grade students singing their hearts out today to honor and celebrate black excellence and history! Shout out to the music teacher for working so hard with them! @HumbleISD_ACE

I was blown away by the talent, the commitment and the beautiful tribute to celebrate black excellence! @MissJ_ACE and her crew really outdid themselves! Cannot believe I’m lucky enough to work with these ladies!.

Students identified text structures using movie scenes and backed up their thinking with direct evidence from the text. When learning is relevant and engaging, rigor rises. Academic vocabulary ✔️ Justified responses ✔️ Student discourse ✔️ Making it stick! @HumbleISD_ACE

My students are practicing words of affirmation to fill someone else’s cup. Today we reminded Ms. Shields just how incredible of a teacher she is. Kindness matters. #ckhaffirmations #writealittlealoteveryday #kindnesswins @HumbleISD_ACE

Write a little a lot everyday! These scholars are answering questions and using text evidence to support their answer! @HumbleISD_ACE

Watching my 2nd graders lead “Good Things” reminds me that leadership starts young. So proud of the courage it takes to stand up and share. 💛 #CKH #StudentLeaders @HumbleISD_ACE @HumbleISD

Building leaders one greeting at a time. 💛 My 2nd graders are practicing eye contact, confident voices, and respectful greetings using our CKH model. These small moments build BIG leadership skills. #CKH #FutureLeaders #SoftSkillsMatter @HumbleISD_ACE @HumbleISD

Dr. Sherita Wilson challenged ACE to write a little a lot everyday. These 2nd graders are practicing restating questions. #growthwins #movingforward @HumbleISD_ACE @Humble_ElemELA @HumbleISD

Future third graders wishing me congratulations and sending positive affirmations is the perfect way to begin my morning. Thank you so much, @SweetN2nd I can’t wait to get your kiddos next year!😜🫶🏾

100 days smarter! @HumbleISD_ACE

Blessed to be at a school where good behavior is celebrated and teachers get to shop for PBIS goodies the kids go wild for! @HumbleISD_ACE
