Getting new students midway through the year truly reveals how much growth has happened. Proud teacher moment watching my class warmly welcome a newcomer with minimal guidance—showing empathy, leadership, and what they've learned together! #Grade3

Reflection has officially begun for this semester.
I've set a personal challenge: by the end of each month, every one of my students will part of a reflection. My goal is to intentionally seek out and highlight the good in each student, celebrating their growth and positive contributions.

Reasonable goals for every class period, every day:
1️⃣ every student hears their name spoken aloud
2️⃣ every student gets a chance to share aloud to peers

Prioritizing students' needs creates trust, fosters growth, and empowers learning. When their well-being comes first, engagement and ownership follow, turning the classroom into a space for success and meaningful impact.

Have you ever asked yourself: Who do I really work for?
I figured that out a long time ago and have been grateful ever since. More here:

Looking forward to the release day of #PrimaryReadingSimplified Jan25. Can’t wait to dive into the practical strategies and start learning how to create more engaging reading experiences! This post by @suchmo83.bsky.social is a great way to a better understanding of what the book will hold. #EduSky

Building relationships is a cornerstone of teaching. This great article by @marcusluther.bsky.social highlights the value of providing authentic feedback, even when it requires extra time and effort. #FeedbackMatters #Grade3
To be clear, I am concerned about students using AI as a shortcut to learning—but that concern is sort of being "gaslit" by the messaging/choices by so many adults in education:
