Today, a student presents his idea for a new law to Rep. Wendi Thomas. He wants to make smoking and vaping illegal! Such a grand idea for a 4th grader. Let’s do it! @UESPrincipal @chucklentzsuper RepWendiThomas

As teachers, we must motivate students to succeed and make it a REALLY BIG DEAL when they do! #NHSD @UESPrincipal @chucklentzsuper @DirectorMalone

TEACHERS:1000’s of you work in schools that have been canceled in the upcoming weeks. Make it UR goal to either call every kid & say hi or write them a letter, telling them what you appreciate about them, recognize the strengths they bring to your classroom! #Significant72

Last Thursday, we greeted students with totes & positive vibes. Tomorrow we embark upon our virtual start to the school year. This year may begin differently, but my passion to teach my students has never been stronger. #NHSD Chuck Lentz @UESPrincipal @DirectorMalone

I’m big on Birthdays! I’m mailing out these two cards to two of my students that share the same birthday. I’m mailing them out early just to make sure they get there on time. Happiest of Birthdays to these two special 4th graders! 🎈 🧁 @UESPrincipal

🚨Teachable Moment: One student shared they got a new puppy. A peer asked how she convinced her parents because he has been “asking for 4 years.” Instant lesson on persuasive speaking/writing from a dad who shared with us how important the art of persuasion is in many careers.

Check out a word art I made using WordArt.com wordart.com/hexi8omu8ijk/w… #wordart 4th Grade is reading One and Only Ivan. Today 4R analyzed one of the main characters, Stella. We supported every single character trait with text evidence. Bravo, 4R!

4R worked on a guided gorilla 🦍 drawing of the main character in our book, The One and Only Ivan. Each gorilla is unique just like each of my 4th grade artists and readers. Awesome job! @UESPrincipal @DirectorMalone @chucklentzsuper

4R’s Character Pumpkins 🎃 were amazing! They were all so creative in how they represented one of the characters in one of the books they are reading. Well done & Happy Belated Halloween!

The ability to create images is a very important reading strategy especially with novels. It’s up to the reader to use the author’s words to constantly create images in their mind. Enjoy this sneak peak into the amazing minds of 4R! @UESPrincipal @DirectorMalone @chucklentzsuper

I’m thankful for my ALL my Rigglets (past and present). I got 3 awesome emails from 3 past students today. While I tried to express how thankful I was in my reply to them, they’ll never truly know how much it meant to me. #ThankfulGratefulBlessed
