The day is finally here! DeepWood Elementary Wunderland is open for play! We are all excited to see this dream come true! #DWEgreatestschool

Today we played!!! And climbed, spun, created, balanced, and ran! The laughter, joy, and sense of community that filled this space made it worth the wait. #DWEgreatestschool DeepWood Elementary

When you find yourself saying “This is not what I signed up for...” remember this...yes it is, you just didn’t realize it was a part of what you signed up for. Push through the struggles and focus on the students...the true thing you signed up for.

Creature creations! Students applied their learning of animal adaptations to create new creatures with unique adaptions. #DWEgreatestschool

These scientists started their study of ecosystems by visiting our neighborhood greenbelt & creek to make observations about living and nonliving things. #DWEgreatestschool

These brave writers sat in front of their peers to read their award writing. Not only did they give great reasons for why an item won, but they also included why the competition didn’t win. They all had such pride and ownership of their work! #tcwrp #DWEgreatestschool

Learning from Amelia Mahlstadt as she modeled a numberless word problem and gave feedback on a number talk. I love the ways she engages all students and how she records thinking so clearly.

Starting our Monday morning with a school-wide interactive read aloud with Reba Mussey. How lucky we are to have a leader who models being a powerful reader #DWEgreatestschool DeepWood Elementary

Persuasive writing boot camp! These writers are drafting speeches to share their voices for change. Get ready, Reba Mussey! They had powerful ideas headed your way! #tcrwp #DWEgreatestschool

Classroom libraries are like a garden. They need tending, in particular the kind of tending that comes from looking closely and noticing how things are and are not working. @sfrazintcrwp #tcrwp

Researchers pouring over their extreme weather books and sparking new ideas.💡 #tcrwp #DWEgreatestschool

We are ready to talk books! Join us for “It’s Not Just a Read Aloud” to learn about the many ways we use read alouds in our classrooms. #RRLCMiniCon2 #DWEgreatestschoolonearth

One of our favorite ways to use read alouds is to teach and reinforce science concepts. We are learning about it at “It’s Not Just a Read Aloud”. @kirchdinos Tiffany Jotten #RRLCMiniCon2

March Book Madness, here we come! I can’t wait to see what books move on. #2020MBM #DWEgreatestschool
