K-12 collaborative partnerships at work! This morning, our district coaches had the opportunity to work together toward district goals and initiatives. What a wonderful way to end the week! #SpartanLegacy

One Final Clap Out! Join me in wishing Dr. Stefankiewicz and Mrs. Amato the very best in retirement. #SpartanLegacy

Fun Friday in Room 103! We practiced building CVC words through this interactive balloon activity. We also practiced identifying vowels/consonants & rhyming words. A great way to end the week! 😊🎈 @MrsSoaresOTES @MLopusznick @mrsshappirio #OTESTeam #FunFriday #ReadingRocks

Team Houllier’s production of “Name That Character!” Thank you to my show hosts Goody Goodshows 1 and 2! @mrsshappirio @DPalaia #waysiderocks

Confirming that all Township of Ocean Schools will open for full day, in-person instruction on Monday, January 10. Be aware that bus delays may persist through the week.

Teachers, I'm amazed by the response to my virtual visit giveaway. I'll be announcing winners 1/10. But should I also host some large free Zooms? Maybe once a week with different topics? Or are videos better than live? Would love ideas for how to be a part of your classrooms.

Teachers, to start off 2022, I'm offering two free 30-minute virtual appearances. I can talk about writing, share a preview of I Survived in progress, or whatever you would like. No limit to the number of students, can do grades 3-8. RT to enter. I will notify winners 1/10.

What would you do if you were stuck in a snow globe for a day? We put our imaginations to work and wrote creatively about our adventures. Brrr-iliant work, third grade!🤩❄️☃️✏️

1st graders working super hard on their writing and learning about the rules of a sentence! #OTESPride #SpartanLegacy

After learning about voting and elections in social studies this week, these 1st graders got to vote for their favorite scarecrows! #OTESPride #SpartanLegacy

Thank you @lindsayncurrie for sharing your writing process with us. We can’t wait to read your book and write our own scary stories! @DPalaia @OT_KMcKenna @pmcgorty409 @mrsshappirio #writing #waysiderocks #whatlivesinthewoods

What could be better than sitting in the sunshine and reading a good book with friends? Thanks to the awesome TOIS facilities crew for helping to make it happen. #tois

Fluency practice meets options for different learning formats! Check out these routines to develop accuracy, appropriate rate, and prosody . . . all by reading the same grade-level text in different ways over the course of a week! bit.ly/2VtPQKV #elachat

Orthographic mapping is a mental process used to store and remember words. It is not a skill, teaching technique, or activity you can do with students but a process that is enabled when phonemic awareness and phonics skills are taught.

Writing ROCKS in 2nd grade!! Team 115 using nature as an inspiration for writing! @OTES_pride #spartanlegacy #writingrocks #SEL #StrongEnergizedLife
