So much fun at today’s first ever Pawnee Student (5th grade) v. Staff soccer game @OPS_Pawnee
Perfect attendance @OPS_Pawnee in Mrs. Mommsen’s classroom, the 28th time in the past two months deserves a game of freeze tag, 1st graders v. Pawnee staff :)
Peer-led PD this morning at @OPS_Pawnee Reflecting on MVPs from The JOY of Teaching chpt 9, and learning how our words and actions impact student behaviors. Thank you Amy Bystrom, Melissa Kucera, Morgan Harpenau, and Anna Rockwell for your professional leadership!

"I always liked the idea of learning through play," teacher Fiona Medley says. "When we explore vocabulary through movement, the smiles come out a lot more, and we have a lot more fun."

Here are T Britt's favorite strategies to support Ss in productive struggle – what would you add? #StudentEngagement
ALT Anchor chart titled "Productive Struggle." Below, it says "It's OK to struggle. We need to remind ourselves we can do hard tasks. Learning happens in these moments!" The chart provides options beneath these statements: "If you... You can..."
So much fun was had the last week @OPS_Pawnee when we were all together in December! Looking forward to being back Jan. 8th, 2024!
Our Pawnee teachers were hard at work today, team planning engaging lessons for our Cubs throughout the second semester. Can’t wait to see our students back at school Monday, Jan. 8th, 8:50AM!

Conferences take place in October, starting with our high schools this week. It's a chance for families to stay involved in their students' academic lives. @OPS_NorthHigh junior Jayohna Sims shared insight on why they are so beneficial.

"It’s so important to me that my students understand the difference between persevering in the face of a challenge and “spinning their wheels” when they’re stuck."

If you've been following me, you know we frequently discuss learning intentions and success criteria on this page. But do we truly grasp the distinction between the two? Here is a simplified breakdown.

today we answered questions about ourselves and then made connections by finding out what we have in common & physically linking our hexagons together - every single student found something in common with at least one other person in their class #classroomculture #teacherlife

Teacher training programs tend to focus on establishing strict rules and consequences for misbehavior. Since that may work in the short-term only, here's research-backed ideas to try instead. 👇

Boy walks into reception late for school.
Receptionist says ‘late again!’
Enters building. Passing member of staff says ‘are you late again?’
On his way to class, someone else asks him for a minute. ‘Are you ok?’ They say.
Boy confides that he has no bed. 4 children in a 2 bedroom house. Mum has late nights and he gets himself ready.
Good to consider how we may greet some children in a morning.
Starting off a Fun Friday @OPS_Pawnee by making our sensory bottles for our Calm Down spaces. Social emotional learning lessons are taking place in Pawnee classrooms and everyone has a space for when our students need a break within the room. @JosieJkay #SEL for everyone
