My little guy dressed like a teacher today to show his spirit for teacher appreciation week! We love all his teachers at Deborah Bills ❤️ Can’t believe the school year is almost over.

Here’s a little glimpse of how invested our 3rd grade stallions AudeliaCreekES have been🥹❤️ HQIM allowed us to deepen our understanding of nonfiction text features and think critically about our reading! #HustleandHeart #RISDrla #RISDMET #HQIMinRISD Sarah Dye Mechelle

Loved seeing my students honor their roots & participate in spirit week AudeliaCreekES for Hispanic heritage month!❤️ Shoutout to Kelly Kollaja & Brittnie Tippitt for rolling this out & allowing our stallions to learn from each other! @RISD_Equity RISD Multilingual Education Team Sarah Dye Mechelle

Our callback today: “Doctors, doctors - yes? yes?” 🤭 Our kids made real world connections w/our classroom transformation & HQIM from amplify SLAR. We read, talked key details, answered Q’s, ID’d our patient’s bones, & more! Richardson ISD RLA Team RISD Multilingual Education Team AudeliaCreekES Nadia Williams

Love starting my classes with a prompt for the “Do Now.” Its a quick, 5 min activity that allows students to practice writing in a low-stakes environment & get in the habit of restating part of the question in their response…a building block for ECRs! #HustleandHeart #RISDrla

Checked in on my mentee today during my planning and was able to observe them use “theater seats.” When the teacher uses this call back, students turn their seats around and are ready to learn from Ms. Solano! AudeliaCreekES #HustleandHeart

To introduce unit 4, we ignited students’ interest with a gallery walk & it was AWESOME to watch!😍 Students were so actively engaged while learning about Ancient Roman civilization & did great organizing their thoughts! 🙌🏼 Richardson ISD RLA Team RISD Multilingual Education Team Sarah Dye Mechelle #RISDbetheone

Happy appreciation month to the coolest principal, Sarah Dye! Thank you for being about your teachers and students ALL the time!🥹💗 Shoutout to Brittnie Tippitt for making us tear up with that video she made 😭

DWD with Amanda Marcott-Patton taught us that the ECR doesn’t have to be daunting! Today, during power hour, we used “Not a Box,” 📦 by Antoinette Portis to help students grasp what’s required! They did ACE-MAZING🥹🙌🏼Richardson ISD RLA Team RISD Multilingual Education Team Sarah Dye Mechelle #RISDBeTheOne #HustleAndHeart

Had a fantastic visit to Audelia Creek today with Sarah Dye. We highlighted some of the amazing things happening this semester, and I had the pleasure of meeting the incredible 3rd grade team. Impressed by their focus on MAP and CIA goals. Trust the process! #RISdBeTheOne

LOVE how we were able to develop a targeted reteach plan, during our DDI meeting, that tied into our TELPAS blitz! Seeing how much my emergent bilinguals have GROWN is truly moving 🥹 Just look at how much #HustleandHeart this writing has 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Sarah Dye Kelly Kollaja

Open house was a success! 🥹❤️💗 Stallions AudeliaCreekES got to show off all their hard work and #HustleandHeart
