I was SO impressed with Polina Krasnopolskaya & the Northview Elementary 4th grade students & teachers today. What a wonderful dress rehearsal. Polina knocked her first musical out of the ballpark. 💙💛#opsforwardtogether

When should we stop reading aloud to students? Can we say NEVER? Keep reading aloud, in every grade, in every subject! 📚📖

These 3 strategies are not only good for multilingual learners, but they will benefit the rest of your class too!

Today Northview Elementary, 5th graders in Polina Krasnopolskaya’s music class learned about cultural dance and music from Italy! 🇮🇹

So important! 🧡

I am always honored to get to serve as a shark Brougham Elementary for their 3rd grade Shark Tank project. As always, the machines and inventions were creative, innovative, and useful. 🦈

“Kindergarten may be math’s most important year…” 🙌🏼 We already know kinder teachers are legit 😇. This shows even more how important it is to have a strong foundation in kinder. Yes, intermediate builds into more complexity, but the base is imperative! hechingerreport.org/kindergarten-m…

What a sweet surprise to see our instructional support team included in the staff appreciation wall! Countryside Elementary Jess K Lauren Wohlford LiteracyMTSSOlathe

It’s SO good to be back at my bldgs. These are just some of the ways teachers & grade levels are having kids engage in goal setting & success criteria around Northview Elementary. Students knew what they were working toward & could explain how they’d know they achieved their goals! 🎉

This also just made me laugh today in Ms. Carlson’s 5th grade class Northview Elementary. #IYKYK Northview Elementary

Enjoyed getting to spend the morning Havencroft Hawks the other day. So fun seeing the middle schoolers helping with things like eye screenings, and then I got to hang out and see Wit and Wisdom in 2nd and 5th! Great conversations were being had by students!

I’ve had some amazing teachers let me come in & watch their W&W lessons this last couple weeks. Today’s adventure was in 2nd Northview Elementary. Kids were building knowledge like crazy - I’ve seriously never heard such deep conversations about leaves from 2nd graders!

A shift worth committing to… Using the text as the focus! 📚📖

Love this!

Absolutely love these adorable bookmarks one of the teams Northview Elementary made for their students. What a great way to recognize and celebrate how the students’ individual and unique qualities add to the whole class! ❤️
