This might have been the BEST back to school night I have ever hosted. Students, parents, and even grandparents were all engaged, learning, and having fun. Went 30 minutes over and had kids and parents wanting more time. My teacher heart is full. Swans Creek Elem @PWCSGiftedEd

Can't believe how much the kids loved 'teaching' their families all that we do in gifted class. ❤️ so proud! Parents learned a lot and loved the slide show of their kids in action. Some even asked to take stuff home! #familyengagement #learningforall Swans Creek Elem @PWCSGiftedEd

A few more gems from tonight. Thank you to all the families that came and participated in the learning tonight. Loved seeing your creativity and collaboration with your child. #familyengagement #momentsmatter Swans Creek Elem

Great writing lesson today about character development and enhancing our writing through external and internal actions. Created our pumpkin people, then gave them personalities and a storyline. Creativity was amazing! 5th graders love stickers still...😁 #writers Swans Creek Elem

1st and 2nd graders rocking some ancient Chinese. It was a struggle at first to go from right to left, but they got the hang of it. They were very glad that they don't have to memorize hundreds of symbols to read and write. #makelearningfun Swans Creek Elem

5th graders hard at work this morning. Love seeing all the writing, problem solving, and enjoyment of learning. Great job kiddos! Swans Creek Elem

Ancient Egyptian for the win. Each "scribe" recorded their names on our tablets (scratch foil paper 😀) using hieroglyphics. Loved the excitement and conversations of the Rosetta Stone. #learningmadefun #earlylanguages Swans Creek Elem
