🧠💡 Who’s doing the thinking?
In response to Dr. Pace’s districtwide challenge to shift the labor of learning to students, Principal McLaughlin challenged our OKE staff to put that vision into action!
Through purposeful questioning, student discourse, and targeted small-group instruction, our teachers provide the guidance while students explore, reason, explain, and justify their thinking. We provide the support. Students own the thinking!

Great collaboration happens when every voice matters and every teammate shares responsibility for student success. That's how strong teams are built.
Small groups, BIG impact! 🎯 Today, I had the opportunity to serve as a district facilitator for professional learning focused on Small-Group Math Instruction for Kindergarten Student Success. Supporting teachers with intentional, data-driven strategies that meet every learner’s needs—that’s how we move learning forward!

🔍 We searched Google for “Powers of 10 in Action”…and the top result led us straight to OKE’s 5th-grade mathematicians! 🔟⚡
Students discovered patterns, applied place-value reasoning, and explained how multiplying by powers of 10 changes a digit’s value.
The search is over—POWERFUL mathematical thinking lives at OKE!
