We had the best mystery readers come for our last day of school today! Thank you, Mr. Johnson for bringing in Amalia and Thatcher! #amaliabelle #thatchereli

Fan girling over @mradamwelcome presentation this morning. Can't wait to learn the language of my students this year!

It can’t only be the 3rd week of school! Look at these 1st graders hard at work in their centers. #ApacheAllStars ApacheIS SMSD

Learning isn’t incidental. The culture of a school isn’t accidental. Each interaction between adults and students impacts both. Kelsey Johnson led 1st graders through a simple but powerful routine of noticing and noting before phonics work. ApacheIS SMSD teachers rock!

What a way to kick off our community helper PBL unit. We loved having our special guest come and tell us about what they do to help our community! ApacheIS SMSD SM School District

Great day spent on the S/E cadre! Looking forward to our next session! #KansansCan

Hey Eagles!! Check it out: Mrs. Fuller wants you to read at home SO MUCH that she is donating two chiefs tickets to the ApacheIS SMSD reader who logs the most minutes in November!!! Read, read, read - then go to the Raiders vs. Chiefs on 12/30! Winner announced on 12/17!

We had a great time celebrating with Thanksgiving activities throughout the day. I loved seeing all the teamwork and creativity, but most of all, I loved reading about how thankful we are for each other. Enjoy the much deserved break, 1J!!! ApacheIS SMSD

Join us on Thursday! Agenda here: goo.gl/R5SQ4d

So proud of the growth and hard work these 1st graders put in this semester. We showed over 207 (stars) points of growth in reading & 194 (stars) points! They couldn't wait to put their stars on our posters but the best was hearing them cheer on each other as they placed them!!!

"We also read for the same reason we swim in the ocean, run across a field, or splash in mud puddles: It feels good." ~Justin Minkel 😍Couldn't love this article or it's message more😍 mobile.edweek.org/c.jsp?cid=2591…

ApacheIS SMSD please help me in spreading the word about this event. Childcare will be provided so please RSVP if you plan to attend.

All schools and offices in the Shawnee Mission School District are closed on Wednesday, January 23, 2019 due to inclement weather. Only essential SMSD personnel need to report to work on January 23.

Love when an old student of mine chooses to uses her earned reward to come read to my class. What a great way to start our day!!!

Today’s 1st grade problem solving activity: How do we fit all 21 students into this tiny triangle. After a lot of student led leadership, collaboration, reconfiguration and brainstorming, WE DID IT!!!! ApacheIS SMSD

Love the student lead collaboration and hard work of these fabulous 1st graders. Can't wait to see their presentations! ApacheIS SMSD

Can I just tell you how much I love Breakouts? Watching these Ss in Kelsey Johnson’s 1st grade, work hard on their math and language skills was exciting! They proved they were ready for second grade! #teamwork #showwhatyouknow

He was amazing! I was so proud of him and he was on cloud 9 the rest of the afternoon!!!

You know it's going to be a great day when your Ss want to share a song they created over the weekend about ApacheIS SMSD !

These boys said they wanted to show me something they put together for #TeacherAppreciation week 😂
