So thankful I get to learn from @JDuddingtonBHE. She seriously is one of the most intentional people I’ve ever met. Her words are so powerful. 💕#empoweringbearsbhe
A:3 I agree with @viewsfromfirst and I also think that discussing how to handle situations through morning meetings is very beneficial. My Ss love role play and acting out the best way to respond to different situations. #BHEbookstudy
A3: we can use the visual of a two story house to help students understand their upstairs and downstairs brain. When we flip our lid the stairs are no longer connected & able to work together. #BHEbookstudy

The 5k will be hosted at Brewer HS on Nov 30th and for free! Donations are appreciated!T-shirts will be available for sale. We will have a registration form to preorder t-shirts. We are working on that now. The fun run/walk will start at 9. More details to come.
And so we go on;
Discussing student differentiation for students. A great option is using choice boards! “Choice boards empower students through choice ensuring adherence to learning goals and standards.” #EmpoweringBearsBHE

Thankful. Thankful for these listening ears. Thankful for the fact when I freak out cry and laughter at the same time, they remain calm. Thankful we have each others back on this crazy first week. 💕 #empoweringbearsbhe
“Teaching is tough enough. Let’s lift each other up.” I want to be that school! @emilyestes29 @wsisdschools @BlueHazeWSISD #empoweringbearsbhe
Shout out to our amazing PTA for providing such a wonderful lunch for our staff! Food is a way to my own ❤️ #empoweringbearsbhe @BlueHazeWSISD @wsisdschools
Learning about digital citizenship today! Ss are encouraged to use the internet wisely. We as Ts should encourage Ss to beware of what we post and what sites we search. @wsisdschools #empoweringbearsbhe
Number talks are so beneficial for all students. The main focus is to find different strategies to solve a problem, and not necessarily the correct answer. It opens the door for great higher level conversations and reinforces number sense. #empoweringbearsbhe @wsisdschools
Counting and computing with Base Four...my brain hurts! Digging deep today in math! @wsisdschools #empoweringbearsbhe
“I’m convinced that there is no instructional approach more powerful than guided reading. What an honor it is to see lives changed forever by the simple yet profound joy of learning to read!” @DrJanrichardson @wsisdschools #empoweringbearsbhe
Let’s TALK about backwards design. How can you be more intentional with planning? Thank you @mariasolehannah and @CLaPlante17 for sharing! @wsisdschools #empoweringbearsbhe

Students DON’T learn to ‘calm down’ by being told to calm down. They need to be taught ways to label their feelings (stop, name that feeling, do something about it). #teambcsd #BCSDSEL #SEL #KidsDeserveIt #JoyfulLeaders
“Commitment is the difference between a team and a group.” So thrilled to start this year on target 🎯 with my team! #empoweringbearsBHE @wsisdschools @BlueHazeWSISD
