Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.
Fantastic PD on reading & math instruction this morning! Looking forward to implementing these strategies & supporting Ts with integrating tech too! @ColesRoadrunner@j_r_straight@pwcsela@DonnaStofko
We had a productive staff meeting @ColesRoadrunner on Thursday morning. The teachers practiced together, led by their math coach, on numberless word problems and drawing their understandings after visualizing the problem. @PWCSNews@LDMcDade@maffeimath@MrsRoscioli@Ms_Swadley
An honor to represent Coles Elementary, last week, and the dedication and passion of our amazing staff and students in earning this prestigious National Blue Ribbon Award from the U. S Department of Education.
Thank you to one of our families for donating this AMAZING biopod, donating the plants, and spending their holiday with me this morning to set it up! This will be yet another small ecosystem our students will be able to observe growing, along with our frogs, when they are added!
Our families enjoyed a terrific STEM/ Math/ Monster Mash last night! Thank you to our super staff and PTA for this collaborative family event involving learning opportunities!
Today we used @nearpod to learn about our digital footprints. Then Ss completed a bubble map in #Wixie with social media posts & headlines that they want to see in the future when someone searches for their name. @pwcstechcoach@ColesRoadrunner@j_r_straight
