Love how we can support handwriting skills during our Open Court lessons.
Love this easy visual in @Miss_Smith28 ‘s class to practice penmanship during Open Court! SS even added their own colors to their paper as a visual reminder where to go and stop. 🙌 💚 🛑 👍 #OurElmwood @elmwoodes

So proud of our school wide art project. Each student and staff member at @PerryHallES crafted a dot to represent their part in our school communtiy. How will you make your mark this year? Always remember that You Matter! 💚🐊
Love this idea! What a great way to create a culture of literacy in your classroom. 💚
This is a keeper. Every Friday during morning meeting I’ll read the first chapter of a book and show a trailer. If a student wants it, they put their name on a post-it and slip it in the box for a drawing. @MeriwetherLES #3rd #readers
