I could go on and on about this sweet girly pop. Today we were restating our question to start our answer and I asked for someone to help me do it. She raised her hand and what came out BLEW me away! Risk taker, kind, super sassy and such a joy to know.

Same teachers. Different drinks. Zero energy left. But did we eat up this Book Character Parade? ABSOLUTELY, AND LEFT NO CRUMBS! 2nd grade students showed out as well! We love when we get to have a little fun!

Little checks, big insights! Quick phonics checks reveal who’s got it, who needs a little extra support, and what to target during small-group word work. Every little reader counts in the Nook.

A little Friday fuel with a whole lot of love! A HUGE shoutout to one of our sweet Nook families for surprising me with a Sonic treat today! It’s the little things that make a teacher’s heart so happy! @dalilanich82 I appreciate your family so much.

Lights, camera, THEME!! Today in Nava’s Nook, we used a Pixar short to identify theme and support our thinking with evidence! My students did an AMAZING job putting their thoughts into writing and explaining their answers! So proud of these growing readers!

Positive note going home for these two rockstars: showing acceptance and kindness to a new addition to our Nava’s Nook Family. So proud!

One minute they were my little boys, and now I’m watching them grow into young men. My mama heart is so proud, but I sure wish I could freeze time just a little longer.

SOARing with pride! Congratulations to these two BlueJays for earning the SAFE Character Award for the 1st Nine Weeks! 🌟 They lead by example, honor our social contract, and show what it means to SOAR like responsible BlueJays every day! 💙👏 #BlueJayPride #SOAR

Ss are working hard on grammar.

Humble played their hearts out! We tied one game and lost the second but the effort was out of this world! These kiddos are the sweetest! @HumbleISD_InAth

Big things are happening in Nava’ Nook! Ss created their own launches to inspire their peers. Now they can’t wait for their turn to lead! Little voices, powerful messages, and future leaders in action! 💙 #CapturingKidsHearts #CKH @HumbleISD_ACE @TrinaB2021

New module, new learning! Today we worked hard to identify the central idea, support our thinking with evidence, and show what we know on our exit tickets. These Blue Jays put their brains to work! @HumbleISD_ACE

A little supply and rainbow snack exchange! Loved organizing a team boost before fall break! We fill students cups every day- our cups needed a refill, too! @HumbleISD_ACE

We are so blessed with these amazing people! They work so hard and deserve so much recognition! All so kind and helpful. Our school appreciates them more than we can express! Happy appreciation day to our amazing crew!

Got to cheer on two of my students at the ballpark, and BOTH hit home runs! They may hit them out of the park on the field, but they hit home runs in our classroom every day, too. So proud of my boys! @HumbleISD_ACE

When the work feels heavy, sometimes you get the reminder you didn’t know you needed. Being affirmed by parents in two different ways this week reminded me why I love what I do. What a gift to know the love I pour into my students is felt beyond my classroom.

I love CKH and the power of a great Launch! I’m challenging our team to take it one step further. let’s put the Launch in our students’ hands. Let them create it. Let them lead it. Let their voices be heard. #CKH #CapturingKidsHearts @HumbleISD_ACE

High-yield strategies in action! Think and Throw! Ss moved, discussed, & thought critically as they selected a response, then explained why they agreed/disagreed. Learning is powerful when students have to think, talk, justify, and write about their thinking!. @HumbleISD_ACE
