These kids know how to make a teacher proud! Watching them peer confer and help edit each other’s writing is so exciting. I love listening in on their convos! We also celebrated how well they did on their mid-year Star Test! Keep it up, my friends! Ridgeview Elementary

Our IXL winners of the week! So proud of these sweet girls for all the time and effort they put into completing our class challenge! As a whole, our class spent almost 60 hrs on IXL this wk and much of that time was at home. Way to go, Mrs. R’s Class! Ridgeview Elementary

We had the best time on our Field trip at Doe River Gorge today!! I’m cramming in all the memories I can with this special group of students ❤️ My heart is not ready for them to move on to 4th grade! Ridgeview Elementary

Washington County's new Traveling Library is almost ready to roll!

Love this quote from the book I’m reading: “Teachers, like our emotions and language, are never in neutral; they are either energizing or draining pupil motivation.” So true!

Allowing our Ss to experience productive struggle only strengthens them and teaches them persistence. I can’t wait to start applying what I’ve learned this week in TN Dept of Education math training! #tdoetraining Ridgeview Elementary Alice Ann Smith

Such a busy&exciting week preparing for a new school year! Loved presenting w/ @HeatherMJeffers at our WashingtonCoSch TN Math KEY training&watching our engaged participants dive deeper into the standards! Also, Cheryl Honeycutt has now hooked me on Bitmojis 💁‍♀️ It’s going to be a great year!

Students love coming to school for different reasons. Make sure you’re one of the reasons. Be compassionate, kind, caring, & understanding. Someone they know has their back and also wants the best for them, so you get the best from them.

Ridgeview students are EPIC! A great ending to our week of EPIC! activities. WCDE EPIC!

One of my favorite things about Lucy Calkins writing is the celebration @ the end of the unit. We had a popcorn bar, shared final drafts out loud&gave feedback on classmates stories...w/ invisible ink pens 🖊 We even invited Darrell Barnwell to join in! #motivate #loveforwriting
