As a seasoned but new to CCSD teacher, I can say I enjoy that the county provides SEL lessons! I love this month’s opportunity for students to reflect on their mid-year mindsets. Today we made resolutions for how to keep us going when challenges arise! Cherokee Co. Schools

Day 1 of our second task in Unit 4 and my CarmelElementary scholars divided and conquered the second close read to find important details about Mark Twain’s life in the biography we read together last week. Tomorrow, we compare what we learned to another bio! Cherokee Co. Schools

I implemented soft starts this week as students enter the room bc I noticed a need to build stronger relationships. It has been AMAZING! I have seen my CarmelElementary working together with students they don’t always spend time with, and my teacher heart is happy! Cherokee Co. Schools
