Research shows 1st year teachers are often in the “disillusionment” phase of teaching in December, so we discussed how mentors can help reenergize and support their mentees, and we played some holiday games to win early leave passes at NTIP this month! 🎄

Merrily analyzing middle of the year data during very festive title 1 data days so that we are ready to hit the ground running in January! 🎄📊📈❄️ Oak Grove Elementary School

4th & 5th grade collaborating to write interdisciplinary STEAM units that solve real problems by using the EDP and math modeling. Finding standards based connections between all content areas to solve a problem is tough, but they did it! So excited to see these plans in action!⭐️

I had a great day with Kinder Oak Grove STEAM Academy team planning an interdisciplinary STEAM unit utilizing a CER, math modeling, and blended learning! This is such a rockstar team proving kinders CAN do all this! Dana Studer Ms. D (she/her) Taylore Belcher Mrs. Walker Oak Grove Elementary School
