One of my darling 2nd graders today: “I’ve been to 5 different schools, but this school isn’t like any of the other schools. We do different stuff here and I get it.” #WeareHCS #DroptheMic @HCS_TitleI @HamptonCSchools @MBlountJr @CJSmithSharks

Let’s normalize teaching children how to appropriately handle failure and disappointment instead of rushing in to save or fix every every difficult situation for them.

Students in Mrs. Slade’s class had a special guest reader this week! One of her former students came back from 3rd grade to read a book and model her fluent reading! #relationships #WeAreHCS @CJSmithSharks @SladeLuvs2tch @HCS_TitleI

Who has old pool noodles around?! 😝
These Twist & Read Sticks are perfect for phoneme manipulation, segmenting, blending, word families etc… I used #poolnoodles paint sticks & rulers. Older grades think #morphology fun! #phonics #SoR @IMSEOG @DonnakaSpencer #kdi #teachertwitter
