CLASSROOM CLOSE UP 👀 Students in Ms. Smith's 3rd Grade Class at Sherlock are learning all about digraphs! Sorting is an effective strategy to help students recognize and organize word patterns. They have been working hard sorting, "th" "sh" "wh" and "ch"! #ignite99

"To empower teachers, I try to make sure our conversations around areas for growth are grounded in empathy and shared experiences. I’ve been there, too and acknowledge it is HARD work. Keep it focused on what our students are telling us they need, not what we’re doing 'wrong.' Notice what the students are doing. One great thing about observations is that we can be that second set of eyes – as a teacher you can’t always see how all students are responding, but we leaders can be that support for teachers to identify what STUDENTS need." ––AP Jill Tully

Cancer. Hurtful memes. Friendships in question. Who are the bullies and who are the friends? Harrell’s tale is of a boy just trying to survive middle school—literally. #2023CaudillNominee #WeAreSherlock #SomosSherlock #Ignite99 #ilumina99 #WeMoveForwardTogether

Thought for this first week of school: @AmyWelzenbach gifted this wonderful artwork to me long ago. I keep it at school as a constant reminder that to achieve learning outcomes, children first need to feel safe, welcomed, and that we care. #WeMoveForwardTogether #WeAreSherlock
