Shout out to the @Walmart Supercenter in Gladstone for their donation of overstocked school supplies! From backpacks to notebooks & more, these essentials will be distributed to students throughout the district. Thanks for supporting our students with supplies needed to succeed!

👂Have you tried holding listening sessions with your staff? (Inspiration via P @QOHSPrin_Thomas)
Sign with the title "QOHS Staff Listening Sessions." The sign then includes an inspiring quote about the value of listening and community, and four questions to prompt reflection: 1) What is something in your practice that you're feeling good about/proud of right now? 2) What's frustrating you/keeping you up at night? 3) What is one critical change you'd like to see in our school culture, systems or structures? 4) What feedback do you have for me as a leader/colleague to support equity and inclusion?

So important for Gr K & 1 kids to subitize numbers to 100. Start with ten frames, then progress to Base 10 blocks and discs. Kids should not be using their fingers to count. Why? There are far better ways to develop Base 10 thinking, important grouping skills, and number sense!
Lesley Cook@MsCookKC6 Jun 2024
It’s been a busy first week of Summer school with soon to be 1st graders! Reviewing bar graphs, catching a quick subitizing video with @gregtangmath and preparing for our first #STEAM building activity by brainstorming a designs. @HMC1Proud
