So glad to welcome Savannah’s newest GATORS 🐊!!! It’s gonna be an awesome year! Savannah Elementary #NoPlaceLikeSavannah

First day at my new campus went amazing, so excited for a new adventure teaching 3rd grade at Savannah! Savannah Elementary #SavannahGators #NoPlaceLikeSavannah

It’s great having readers back in the classroom! We have learned how to find a special reading spot while maintaining social distancing.

Flashlight Friday Reading!

Outdoor read to self on this beautiful Friday Morning!

The act of writing turns out to be its own reward. These amazing third grade writers are getting the opportunity to see their stories come to life while publishing their non-fiction writing. #theresnoplacelikesavannah Savannah Elementary

Nothing more special than seeing your school’s babies working with @TCRWP The Coaching of Writing Institute. #proud Anna Sheehan Savannah Elementary Sandy Brown @paytonandress2

What a wonderful experience working with Anna Sheehan and @TCRWP during The Coaching of Writing Institute! My students are having a blast getting to participate. They wouldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had during their partner writing conferences. Savannah Elementary

Interactive read alouds are so powerful for not only our students reading but also for their writing. Noticing and naming the authors craft moves in mentor texts can give writers ideas for their own writing. We had another wonderful workshop with @TCRWP and Anna Sheehan.

Yes! Thank you Paul Andress you have work so hard to take care of all the Denton ISD facilities this week.

Playing jeopardy today reviewing for the STAAR test. The collaboration between these 3rd graders is truly amazing! Savannah Elementary

Teachers, to start off 2022, I'm offering two free 30-minute virtual appearances. I can talk about writing, share a preview of I Survived in progress, or whatever you would like. No limit to the number of students, can do grades 3-8. RT to enter. I will notify winners 1/10.

After 7 years of working with Claire Springer, M.Ed., I have a new AP! Payton Chartrand is going to be a tremendous asset to the Savannah Elementary team! We had a great day of learning today!

Payton Chartrand and I are in NOLA with members of the Savannah Elementary Guiding Coalition. We are learning TOGETHER! We spent the day deepening the relationships needed to act for ALL KIDS! Our conference learning plan is complete. LET’S GO! 🐊 Solution Tree #ATPLC #RTIAW

“Giving kids more of what didn’t work the first time is never a good intervention!” Mike Mattos #RTIAW

If you are going to effectively implement RTI on your campus you must have Tier 2 instruction built in to your master schedule for ALL students. #RTIAW

So excited to lead Savannah Elementary with you!
