Great day observing Irving Elementary School in Sioux City! Storm Lake Elementary is one lucky school to have the dual language program starting next year!

Just sent this home via Tony Martinez — life saver I’ve messaged more these last 24 hours than ever. 🙌🏼 If anyone wants to use and tweak it feel free. Some websites and activities, a good start! docs.google.com/document/d/e/2… #teachershelpingteachers

Great leaders see feedback as fuel for growth. They don’t see feedback as a threat to their ego. They see it as an essential part of becoming a better leader.

Four ways to be a good colleague: 1) Give the adults around you the benefit of the doubt. 2) Focus on solutions rather than dwelling on negativity. 3) Model a relentless commitment to doing right by kids. 4) Be willing to stand in the gap when your colleague needs help.

Want to make this week more powerful, productive and positive? Try a week long 🚫 NO COMPLAINING CHALLENGE! Instead of complaining about problems, look for solutions. Focus on the positive and help overcome negativity.

Independent reading is not about a level; it’s not about a certain number of minutes. Independent reading is that reading we do that helps us develop independent thoughts - not thoughts directed by anyone else.

🌪💚SLES kicking off their first full day of school!! #WeCanHaveItAll

In kinder, first, and second grade, our #duallanguage students learned about and celebrated Día de la Independencía today! Storm Lake Elementary
