Not sure who enjoyed it more, the kids or the adults!!! Even the custodians came to watch! That’s when you know it’s knowledge they will NEVER forget! Well done Bulldogs! Thanks so much @jhesson83 #SumnerAchieves

I love the idea of reading skills being the shovel that uncovers knowledge! @Emily_Smith2021 is on the way to success! Can’t wait to see the knowledge her kiddos uncover!

NEVER a dull moment! Love my BBE family!
Never at dull moment with @rachel_sowder at BBE. Loved getting to visit a few classrooms and see some math in action. Mrs. Bennett’s class was rocking some give and take! @jhesson83 @EstepCherie

Completely agree! Also, the same is true for adults!
Their perception outweighs our intention. 100%. #shiftyourmindset

Others can help you get better, but they can't make you get better. Their concern and support can only benefit you when you are willing to do what is necessary to better your best. Knowing WHAT to ask is important. Knowing WHO to ask is critical. -@Mark_Sanborn #leadersread

A2: kids are naturally curious. Allowing them to be curious and follow their natural instinct to figure things out is how knowledge based curriculum can work for you. As teachers sometime we just have to get out of the way and let kids do their thing. #satchat
Q2: How do you ""hook"" students into a lesson or unit of study to peak their interest and increase engagement? #satchat
