Today is our second day with our ELA coach from Side by Side. This is really helpful for our certified staff. It takes a whole building synergizing together to ensure we can make this happen. Add in all the extras, from behavior support to newly added meetings for student needs- a big thank to everybody who jumped in to help when they saw a need on Tuesday. 

Speaking of student needs and behaviors, this recent article from AARP really illustrates what we have seen first hand the last few years. As the article mentions, our students as young as five have superpowers when it comes to online access:

We have awesome pictures to share. You can click on the pictures and see them in a larger size. The pictures are great to share with students. You can emphasize the leadership skills and proactive positive behaviors. Students also love seeing their friends, siblings, and cousins.

We have great pictures that illustrate inclusion and synergy. We work hard to ensure that every student feels welcomed and included at our school. The pictures of our second language learners pricing vegetables from our school garden might be my favorite. We also have smiling faces that are heartwarming to view, considering the hard home situations and trauma that many of our students have experienced. At school, we love and encourage happy kids.

We have pictures of student leaders learning with math and when attending the library. Almost one month into school- we have great pictures of our readers of the month and students celebrating their Istation growth. We loved having families at the school to enjoy eating breakfast with their kids. We ended the week with our first Friday fun:
