We wrote out Gratitude Grams for Nov Sandalwood ES. Some Ts bought them for $1 and they were passed out on the 26th. We raised $226 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation in honor of 2 of our beautiful Ts! So grateful to work with a group of caring people! #giveback #loved

What a fun and shortened fall spirit week Sandalwood ES. Mon-flannels, Tues-fall colors, Wed-PJs. Such a busy week and some amazing attendance from our Ss! What an awesome staff ❤️

Today our fifth graders visited Towson University for their STEM Day Basketball Game and a college tour! College and career readiness for the win! #communityschool #enrichment Sandalwood ES

One of my favorite days Sandalwood ES is 5th graders College and Career field trip. We went to Towson University for STEM challenges and a women’s b-ball game. Even though we missed the last 20 seconds 😞 Ss were amazing and Mrs. Hansen was a trooper!

Some pretty awesome things happening in Mrs. Noll’s math class today Sandalwood ES. Students were rounding decimals and using Ozobot to create code once they got the math problems correct. #crosscurricular #engaged #smallgroupinstruction

Our librarian Sandalwood ES is pretty amazing! Mike Kuczmynda emailed teachers asking them to put together “book bundles” that students could check out for the holidays. Be on the look out for his upcoming display. Check out my “bundle” of shark related books!

I literally have the kindest and most giving friends. My friend Heather Rey, who runs a LuLaRoe side business, raised money to buy several kids outfits from her clients. She donated 2 boxes of BRAND NEW clothes to my school Sandalwood ES. Find yourself a Heather in your life❤️

This week Sandalwood ES we are taking a journey around the world. Today we visited Egypt (where knitting originated), listened to the story “Extra Yarn” by Mac Barnett and wore our festive socks!

Today we took a journey to America from Nazi Europe for Spirit Week Sandalwood ES . We learned about Hanukkah and wore winter colors as we listened to the story “Oskar and the Eight Blessings” 🚀 Mark Siegel ☀️.

My “why!” When a former student of mine Sandalwood ES (well tv studio anchor) receives an award for being an inspiration. This girl is amazing and continues to do big things 🥰

Today our journey Sandalwood ES took us to Mexico where we learned about Nochebuena. We wore red, green, and creative sweaters as we listened to the story ‘Twas Nochebuena and learned some Spanish.

One of my fav things I do in Dec for the Ts Sandalwood ES - giving the gift of time. I dismiss the Ts for 30 minutes and read a story. The Ss create a gift & give it to their T a few days later. But when the T walks in we are working on a “decoy.” 😉 Theme this yr - sharks

Perfect night for a holiday work party Sandalwood ES. Superlatives, Guess Who, The Grinch Game, and the oven mitt unraveling game. I am tired and hurting but I think everyone had a great time. Lots of competition and lots of laughs.

Something big is coming in 2025! For the month of January (historically our lowest attendance month), 1 student from each grade level that attends will win the chance to pick a prize from our stage! See you at 8:15 a.m. on 1/2/25! #bcpshereforit #communityschool #sandalwoodmagic

The last day of our spirit week journey took us to Scotland where the wishing tree originated. They nailed coins into the tree but the story, The Wishing Tree, its different. We wanted to wish everyone a happy winter break so we figured we would grant the wish of coziness & pjs.
