Time to start catching up on posting some of this year’s brilliance. Congrats to Mrs W’s 4th grade @BlueAshElem owls on winning our first behavior tally race. Today they cashed in. Watching students vying for learning experiences does my teacher ♥️ good! #baebrillant #pbis

International Dot Day post part 2! Because @peterhreynolds inspired our @BlueAshElem owls in way too many ways for just one post, and how could I not include these amazing works of heART? #baebrilliant #dotday }makeyourmark

International Dot Day 2023 was @BlueAshElem’s best Dot Day yet! So grateful to the many students and staff who embraced the spirit of @peterhreynolds’s Vashti and celebrated creativity, courage, and collaboration by making their mark! #baebrilliant #dotday

These @BlueAshElem owls are already discovering knowledge for themselves in the PEARL. Tracking down all the supplies that moved homes over the summer with a scavenger hunt! #studentownership #baebrilliant

When you offer kids ownership of their learning, you are never disappointed. ❤️ seeing all the different ways our k-1 @BlueAshElem owls are engaging with circuitry and light. @cadenise’s Knight Owl made the perfect companion text! #BRIGHTkids #baebrilliant

Who says older generations don’t LOVE technology? Look at this 100 year old getting some code on @BlueAshElem! #baebrilliant #imustacheyouaquestion #100days

I’m so lucky to work in a role where I see brilliant breakthroughs and big moments every day- but it doesn’t mean I don’t cherish the small ones. Today these @BlueAshElem cuties shared their days with me while waiting for carline. It was everything #ifyoulovethem #theywilllearn

I work with the most talented people! @schmillustrator this is amazing!
I spent the first quarter of the year building an octopus sculpture out of cardboard. The last step was having the k-4th graders and any willing staff in the building color stickers to give it a unique skin. Now it hangs in the back of the room keeping an eye on the art room

So many awesome things happening @BlueAshElem that I’m a bit late posting our AMAZING character creations for our @Scholastic book fair. Special thanks to @baepto for teaming up to get families extra opportunities to enjoy. This community is the best! #baebrilliant #WeAreAviators

How AWESOME is this? Our Ss are creating Look Books to document growth/learning and share work with families. While conferencing with this cutie today, I saw I wasn’t the only one giving him feedback! @BlueAshElem families are the BEST! #WeAreAviators #dadforthewin #baebrilliant

We’ve made dots with #legos @quivervision, @scratch, sandspiel, weave silk, craft materials, and so much more @BlueAshElem! We all saw our project differently and #madeourmark. Thank you @peterhreynolds for books that treat kids as the beautiful balls of potential that they are!

Prep materials, collect books, assist with check-in, prep the shelving cart…there’s nothing these @BlueAshElem owls can’t do! I’m so grateful for this crew, the memories we make, and the opportunities all our students get because they pitch in every morning. #baebrilliant

“Oh my chicken nuggets…she knows science!”Teaching @BlueAshElem kinders means so many “firsts”. Lots of practice. Some days it’s overwhelming. Other days it leads to magical moments like these. Putting this up as a reminder for both types of days 💚💛#baebrilliant #WeAreAviators
