Thankful for our incredible PTO who spoiled us with a “make your own bouquet” this morning. 💓 @BraesideSch112 #112leads

@112foundation @BraesideSch112 The students and I are so grateful for this incredible opportunity! I can’t wait to share the finished glazed mosaic that results!

We are proud to fund guest-artist Mr. Vician’s visit to @BraesideSch112 with a #FoundationGrant. 4th and 5th graders learned about ancient Korean stoneware, self expression, design process, & all about ceramic art. Thank you @kpolyack and Ms. Harvey for their leadership.

May your break contain as much joy as these snowflake-catchers exude! #112leads @BraesideSch112 #d112teachers

I love when my two subjects connect! This week’s art project was about creating rhythm in a painting. We are excited to use these rhythmic papers for our collage project next week. #112leads @BraesideSch112 #d112teachers

@ecrutchfield112 @112foundation @WayneThomasscho @MrBogie1 @hoffman_wt @MissImyak That is so cool!

4th graders focused on vocal technique using sound phones provided by the @112foundation & played instruments & performed movements with ascending & descending melodies in music this week @WayneThomasscho @MrBogie1 @hoffman_wt @MissImyak #wt112 #112leads #d112teachers #wtrising

First graders enjoyed working on two-handed xylophone skill-building during the ostinato of “Skin and Bones.” 👵🏻 @BraesideSch112 #112leads #d112teachers

🪩DISCO PARTY🪩 Fifth grade @BraesideSch112 students enjoyed painting multifaceted disco balls but the REAL fun came when the black lights came out! #112leads #d112teachers

Sometimes if you’ve got a partner hand clapping game but an uneven number of students, you ask the armadillo if he’d like to join. @BraesideSch112 #112leads #d112teachers

@spwalker1962 @SherwoodPandas @nwhuskies Yes! DL social studies.

@kpolyack @SherwoodPandas @nwhuskies Love this! Is he at Northwood?

Peak moment today! A past student of mine, who starred as Aesop in SW 2nd gr’s “Bebop With Aesop,” is now a COLLEAGUE! Welcome (back) to the family, Mr. Gonzalez! @SherwoodPandas @nwhuskies #112leads #d112teachers

@SherwoodPandas @NSSD112 @RMFilippi @Mr_KSaunders @lposse1 Six hall of famers!!

Our Sensational Six Retirees 🥺 We are going to miss you so much #Sherwoodshines112 #112Leads @NSSD112 @RMFilippi @Mr_KSaunders @lposse1

Friday smiles abound before this long weekend! @BraesideSch112 #112leads #d112teachers

Having fun solo singing “Who Has the Penny” while classmates try and guess the singer based on their vocal timbre. @BraesideSch112 #112leads #d112teachers

@mrsknotek @Mschroeder6 @NSSD112 My heart!! 💓

@Mschroeder6 @NSSD112 My 5th grader created a Google form for me to plan all the details of the day. Future tech specialist for 112?

Wishing all @NSSD112 moms a very Happy Mother’s Day! Sending a big hug to all those who are missing their moms today too. #112Leads

What a lovely teacher appreciation gift! This student made the music room out of legos, complete with curved windows, risers, and all! Work doesn’t feel like “work” when you’re surrounded by such thoughtfulness and sweetness! @BraesideSch112 #112leads #d112teachers

What a beautiful start to the day- thank you PTO for the beautiful succulents, thank you @MrsJamieKahn for the perfect book, and to the mystery children who filled my board with loving messages and helpful guitar notation instructions! 😄💓💓@BraesideSch112 #112leads

2nd graders enjoying some folk song singing coupled with movement. 🎶 “We’re sailing down the river, we’re sailing down below. We’re sailing down the river, down the Ohio. Two in the middle and they can’t jump over… “ 🎶 @BraesideSch112 #112leads #d112teachers

(Student sitting quietly after singing a song, tears rolling down her cheeks:) “I just love that song so much that it’s coming out of my eyes.” Kids are the best. @BraesideSch112 #112leads #d112teachers

Our Braeside Chorus members were so excited to perform for each other in a talent show during recess. We got to watch original compositions, dances, vocal solos and duets, string players, pianists, and more! @BraesideSch112 #112leads #d112teachers
