What if we asked the same of our staff?
Learners know what they need – you just have to ask.

Mrs. Costanzo’s classes are having fun with their carnival today. All games were created by the students.
Yes! Silence does not need to be filled right away, but do we know why the silence is there?

Why do we remember more by reading in print vs. on a screen? bigthink.com/neuropsych/read…
Our A+ tutors are already diving in with students. Way to step up and lead! #OTFalcons
Evaporation and condensation out in our own front yard. Way to give in the moment examples @SaxonScience732 and Mrs. Henderson!
*Sound Turned Up* Ms. Daniel is making it rain for her students to start reading “All Summer in a Day.” #OTFalcons
*Sound Turned Up* Way to start out the class and build the anticipation, Mrs. Wescott! “All Summer in a Day” is powerful with imagery and life lessons. #OTFalcons
Valerie Converse is a rockstar! Thank you for facilitating our cadre meeting today for our new teachers and making sure I was included virtually. You are the best! #fortproud #teamworkmakesthedreamwork
Students in @MrSchinstock Science of Technology classes are working through the process of making ice cream. Lots of observations and data tracking in a fun way! #OTFalcons
Cause/effect and problem/solution coming to life in a fun way for the Pathfinders today. #OTFalcons @MeganTKemper

If the best we can do is say sorry, that’s still enough. Sometimes students just want to know it isn’t their fault.
Check out the new sign at OTMS! And a thank you to Mr. Beggs’ Advisory for decorating! #OTFalcons

A teacher recently told me about visiting a school where the adults loved their job. She said the school had a great “feel.”
This is the sort of thing that students pick up on every day. The attitude of the adults has a huge impact on whether kids enjoy or endure school.
Students are breaking down the work to give feedback on what specific learning targets the student has met and still needs to work on. Another way of checking student comprehension of the skills. #OTFalcons @BritneyCostanzo
Smile. Say hi. Listen. These are all things within YOUR control and can make a positive impact. When you cannot find the positive around you, then BE THE POSITIVE for others. #OTFalcons #BetheOne
