I love seeing student engagement in writing! Today my students loved reading their writing on @Flipgrid and then watching each other’s videos! #EsenciaHawks

Today was a great day in first grade! We did Andy Warhol inspired art, learned about Martin Luther King Jr, and coded our way around the world in social studies! #EsenciaHawks

Loved Global School Play Day today! 💛 Global School Play #GlobalSchoolPlayDay #EsenciaHawks

A group of students discovered they could combine 2 groups of 5 together to make a group of 10 and then count by 10’s too! Love seeing all their great thinking in #countingcollections! Karen Gauthier #CapoCGI

Could a new school implement PLC practices right away? Within 6 months of opening, we built a mission statement, created team norms, prioritized standards, vertically articulated TK-5, and started unwrapping those standards. We have the right people on the bus! #esenciahawks
