One of the most powerful SEL activities ever. How do u think the man in the left is feeling? The black man with dreads. How do u think the man in the right is feeling? The police officer in riot gear? The same. They felt the same. #ncties21 #carterettrailblazers #sel @deelanier

Wow. That’s amazing. #ncties21 #shinethelight #carterettrailblazers Carteret County Public School System

Preparing my first #padlet for Monday! Thanks to #ncties20 for pushing me out of my comfort zone and encouraging me to reach students in a way that’s more meaningful! Students will share a #brightspot and something they would like to change about their day! #shinethelight #sel

Using #socrative to review for our next Checkin! I love it because there’s NO prep!! We don’t waste our time reviewing things everyone understands! And the kids have enjoyed doing something different! You gotta #reachthemtoteachthem Beaufort Elementary School Karen Wood Laura Parish

Yes!!! This is why “punishment” at school is so difficult. There HAS to be a reason, we just have to find it. The frustrating part comes when the reason is something out of our control.

Today. Today I told my admin I am tired. The best part? They understand. And they are appreciative. That’s the difference maker.

We went on a wild geometry @GooseChase Perfect for the last week of school! I loved the math talk I heard and the cooperation I saw!! Beaufort Elementary School Karen Wood Laura Parish #shinethelight #carterettrailblazers

Ready for hexagonal thinking during the first week of school! I can’t wait to see my new students thinking critically, making connections, and working in groups! I wonder who the leaders will be?? Beaufort Elementary School #brightertogether #ccpstrailblazers

Last year I became much more aware of this, because 4th graders are much more aware of it. I started saying “your grownups” instead of any of the alternatives.

Thanks to Mike McKay Marsha Moore Sirkin 🌻 ben.eth and ALL the other Carteret County DLT for helping me grow as an educator! #alwayslearning

Hexagonal thinking fun today Beaufort Elementary School Ss wrote things about school then worked in groups to find and make connections! #greatconversation #BEStschool #shinethelight

Building classroom community isn’t just for the first week of school! We had fun playing “In and Around” from #sanfordharmony Beaufort Elementary School #BEStschool #LightTheWay #SELMatters

Students became the experts on a multiplication strategy and taught their group! #ilovedmathtoday #jigsaw #hattie #bestschool #shinethelight

Shoutout to all the teachers who have tried something new in their classroom this year! It might not have worked… but that’s okay — because that’s how we learn… that’s how we grow.

Solving the same problem using 2 different strategies. #intomath small group options are also great for you do (with a partner) practice! #shinebright #lighttheway Beaufort Elementary School

I love when students become the teachers! Beaufort Elementary School

I loved teaching primary grades. When I was asked to move to upper elementary, I was afraid the fun would be taken out of teaching, because of testing. Boy was I wrong. #fourthgradeisfun Beaufort Elementary School Hands on, cooperative learning in ELA and math! #lighttheway #BEStschool

Jenny Warner Dr. Sam Bommarito @merrysaysboof Helen Proulx Janet Steinberg Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels Dr. Mary Howard NYS Education Department Laura Robb @cardonna_ @TCRWP question flip! I'd ask the green one, which either points to a different program or a combo/variation of the elements that make a difference for a specific learner.

As an educator, it isn’t often that training and curriculum align. #iykyk But this year, with #letrs and #intoreading it does!! Decoding is still important in 4th grade! The conversations I heard were pretty amazing! #BEStschool Beaufort Elementary School
