Our @SCESStars enjoyed guest readers on #ReadAcrossAmericaDay Thankful for all of the visiting readers who took time out of their day to share their love of reading with our students. Here are just a few… #shineon #oneccps

Are you bilingual or multilingual? Do you know anyone who is?
Knowing more than one language is truly a gift. 🎁
Let’s share with students, families, and colleagues the many ways we can unwrap the powerful gifts that language offers.

Shared writing for the win with 5th graders today! ✏️ It started with groans and ended with, “Can we do this again tomorrow?” Once they realized “it’s just like texting” it was fun! #ells #esol #mlls #5thgradewriting #readingwritinglisteningspeaking #shineon @SCESStars
As an introvert and a parent of two introverts…👇🏼YES! That quiet time is our creative, reflective, restorative time and it’s okay. 💯
These #housecaptains were reluctant to get on the announcements but they stepped up and NAILED IT! I’m so proud of them. (And they’ve already signed up to do it again👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼)#shineon #leo #ursamajor #equuleus #aquila #scorpius @SCESStars
#Equuleus brought it today to our First House Pep Rally! 🐴
SO PROUD of all the 5th grade House Captains! It was their first time to shine and be introduced as student leaders and they were OUTSTANDING!! I saw so many great things from them today! 🦂🦅🦁🐴🐻#shineon @SCESStars
So SO important! Thank you @ValentinaESL, always the best infographics! #esol #mlls #ells #shineon @SCESStars
Yes our House Captains have taken over announcements and they are getting better everyday!! These boys nailed it this week! #fivehousesonefamily #shineon @SCESStars #housecaptains
Our 3rd graders enjoyed making observations 👀and discussing 🗣️the process of evaporation today with this hands in experiment. 🌦️
Love it @MsSanchezSCES 🩵
I wish I was a student in your classroom.

I think sometimes we forget (or never knew) the overlapping traits between Autism, ADHD, and Giftedness. Some of our students even have two of these exceptionalities and are referred to as Twice Exceptional (or 2E). Both of my sons are 2E. Please take a minute to read about it and study this Venn Diagram for a visual representation. They have more in common than you might think!

SO PROUD of these House Captains for stepping up to take on the first week of student announcements. Some had to step out of their comfort zone but they ALL did a great job!! A new group is up next week. #fivehousesonefamily

In the spirit of #hispanicheritagemonth, I’m sharing this infographic eñ español.
Emergent bilingual students need:
⛰️High expectations to shine.
♥️Love from educators.
🌱A growth mindset to understand the learning process.
🪜Support as they go through the journey.
🕊️Opportunities to listen, speak, read, write but also to spread their wings and try new things.
💫Role models that show them the possibilities.

Kicking off HHM with one of our littlest stars sharing information about her country with the entire school. So proud of her speaking on the announcements! #esol #esl #mlls #HispanicHeritageMonth #shineon @ccpsinfo @SCESStars
