My teacher heart is FULL of joy to see some of my students IN PERSON! We did a little tour/open house so they feel comfortable coming into the building next week! The excitement is real!🤩✨💙🧡 (yes my desk is a mess 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣)

I am SO thrilled to welcome some roomies into the classroom today!! My homies and roomies did FABULOUS this morning, working through technology and learning how to communicate with each other!💙🧡 #firstdayfairfax #fcpsready Orange Hunt Elementary

Homies AND roomies worked together in breakout groups to work on their PBL! They did a fantastic job staying on task and working together!!! 💙🧡#PBLinFCPS Orange Hunt Elementary

Year 4 ✅ what an absolute whirlwind of a year. I was blessed with 23 resilient and passionate fourth graders. The goodbyes don’t get easier, and this year in particular brought a lot of tears. (I don’t know why I’m wearing my sunglasses inside 🤷🏻‍♀️)

SUPER excited for this writing webinar w/ Jamie Sears (Not so Wimpy Teacher) I can’t wait to learn new strategies to help me become more comfortable teaching writing. 🤗🤗

Super excited for the first sync session for mentoring novice teachers! I get the privilege to be lead mentor this year for OHES. I cannot wait to learn how to help others grow!!!

Want to provide a platform for STUDENTS to share their identity, what is important to THEM, & how they are growing? POGPOL addresses these imp. topics AND empowers students and teachers to assess in a meaningful way! Hmm. Any connections to this, SEL & Cultural Resp. Teaching?

Yay! I'm going to #PearFairPD on July 28 🎡✨ Sign up today to join me and thousands of our fellow educators at Pear Deck Learning's free virtual professional development event! Reserve your ticket 🎟 peardeck.com/pear-fair

The first 2 days of SOAR have been awesome!!! So thrilled to be under the leadership of @owlfirsties! I already love my 11 rising second graders. #letsdothis Orange Hunt Elementary

#tipfortoday school starts in just a few weeks & the transition to a new school, school for the first time, or after virtual learning can be overwhelming for kids. At home, practicing lunch time can help them feel more confident on that first day! #BacktoSchool2021 Fairfax Schools 🌟

It felt amazing to be back together! We had a fabulous breakfast (thank you Orange Hunt PTA), reflected on our skills, & went in a Goosechase! My excitement for the new school year is building!

This is the face of a teacher that is SUPER excited to welcome 21 superstar fourth graders at open house!! (Masked of course!) #owlnation Orange Hunt Elementary

We are doing a lot of thinking about our positive math norms and active listening! Students are making connections with one another and thinking hard about setting up our math workshop time! 💙🧡 Orange Hunt Elementary

Mistakes grow our brain! We crumpled up paper, threw it at the whiteboard, and then colored in the creases! The creases represent the synapse in our brains firing up when we make a mistake because learning is occurring

So much fun at Trunk or Treat! Orange Hunt PTA Orange Hunt Elementary Ms. Slovensky Ms Kattera 💛 (she/her) Region 4
