What a super fun way to end the week!
Pancake Pajama Party with the 2nd grade teachers for our Carnival Auction Winners this morning! @MrsRedner @rennellredhawks #WeAreRennell
My evening with Wiley. He should have an action figure. I love learning from his mastermind! 🫶🏼 @wbny @rennellredhawks @CFISD_ELAR2_5 #2ndToNone #wearerennell

We had our first 50% ST Math Party today during lunch. They enjoyed making a penguin to add to the wall and eating lunch with the teacher. I can’t wait for the next one! @rennellredhawks #WeAreRennell @STMath We even watched a video of Jiji cheering us on!

What can we read to learn more about reading science? This list from @ehanford is so helpful! Let's start with #1: @reading_league's Science of Reading Defining Guide.

What a special experience yesterday when @DrAnthonyMS students came over to read to our @rennellredhawks 😍 They were so positive, patient, and creative with their book choices and questions! #WorldReadAloudDay #3rdrrific
We loved celebrating #WorldReadAloudDay2023 with our @CyFairISD board member Mr. Scanlon! He shared his love of reading with us and gave these readers lots of sweet encouragement too! Thanks a bunch! #cfisdboard
We love our parent volunteers @rennellredhawks ! Especially those who teach us about entrepreneurship and making that money through #juniorachievement #WeAreRennell
One of the BEST books I share with my family and students has been The Wild Robot. We are totally invested in these sweet characters. It’ll be hard to wait till September to see Roz again - but good things come to those who wait. If you haven’t read the first 2 - do it! NOW!!
Wild Robot fans! I'm pumped to share the cover art for Roz's next adventure, The Wild Robot Protects! The book comes out on 9/26/23 but is available now for preorder wherever books are sold. I hope you'll check it out! #thewildrobot #thewildrobotprotects #robots #childrensbooks
When my school threw the most amazing pajama dance party for their winter holiday party - I had to join in the fun! Glow sticks, DJ, smoke machine… great fun was had by ALL!But I felt every one of my 41 years in that cafeteria today! @rennellredhawks
My favorite time of year @rennellredhawks is Holidays Around The World! We love learning about different celebrations over the globe! Couldn’t be a complete costume without a flight attendant’s drink trolly! #WeAreRennell Warm Towel?

Congratulations to our Spelling Bee winner and runner up! We are so proud! #WeAreRennell
Reindeer games @rennellredhawks means making reindeer out of gingerbread play dough! It was so fun and the room smelled fantastic! 2nd grade is the absolute best! #WeAreRennell
I mean it’s sparkle play dough! Now THAT really is joyful learning!
Joyful learning @cfisdmcgown ... building trees with green play dough: 3D shapes, beginning sounds, fine motor fun!💚❤️#prek #owlaboutthebest
A4: @rennellredhawks knows I love a clip system. But not THAT old fashioned clip system. Whispering and finding what makes them tick helps out a lot. #txed
But it is a slap in the face when they come back with a candy bar. I won’t complain, but it’s not right.
A3: Soapbox moment... & I'll say it louder for the folks in the back of the room,
The second you send that kid out of your room & down to an administrator... whatever happens next is out of your control. Don't whine, complain, or be upset w/ the outcome.
K. I said it. #TXed
I totally agree! Kids know when adults care every day and not just when they’re extra good or extra bad.
A3: The teacher sets the tone in the classroom by building relationships and creating a safe, positive space. It helps a TON for admin to be present though. Kids notice when they’re a positive presence that frequently visits. #Txed
A3: a good admin team will absolutely support the teacher by helping defuse, offering guidance, and listening. I don’t use the office a lot. When I do, it’s serious. So I need serious help. But they aren’t there to do the daily dirty work that comes w discipline. #txed
A2: it’s fun to involve parents on this side too! Call home with the kids right there. It takes 2 minutes. I also do a fair amount of good notes home to empower the student to continue the good behavior. Things like step out of line and walk to lunch by yourself is my fave #txed
