Hmmm ... somebody has been lurking on Seesaw making comments. Ms. Eshleman had them guess, and this student was one among a few that was barking up the right tree. #ELCOtogether

Parents, if online or remote learning is overwhelming or confusing here is one thing you can do to serve your child's learning:
Read.
Read with them. Read to them. Read recipes. Read newspapers. Read chapter books. Read comics.
Reading is the foundation for all learning.

It’s #AgWeek at the Fort! Many thanks to Mr. Eshleman & @binkleyhurst in Richland for helping us celebrate this week by dropping off a shiny red #tractor in front of our school! If that doesn’t remind us that it’s Ag Week, we’re not sure what will! 🚜

“Let’s tap it out! What is the middle sound?”
“Now that we have written ‘sun,’ change out a letter to make the word ‘fun.’”
Equitable learning is based on strong core instruction, here, related to phonological/phonemic awareness & phonics. 😊

Today, on a whim, I paid Mr. Hoffman a visit, owner of Heinrich Zeller’s Fort (1743) & namesake of @ElcoFort. I’m grateful for his generosity as he showed me around the property inside & out. I now have a deeper appreciation for our local history! #ELCOtogether #Newmanstown

Ohhh yes. A friendly reminder that #FieldDay is on May 31st here at Fort Zeller.

I had a blast catching up w/ kiddos who earned rewards & chose to come to my office & read a book aloud to me.
My feet hurt.
My brain is tired.
But my heart ... ah yes, my heart
It is energized & filled beyond measure!
Grateful for the #teachers sending them down to me!

We have such a cool principal!
Principal Lin decided today was the perfect day to make a musical snow day message with his banjo.
Sure, he may have an off-time, pitchy voice & he might be a bit choppy w/ the banjo, but to those of you who’ve challenged, he’s a man of his words!

❤️ ((Be Inspired))
... then blow up Mr. Lin’s Phone w/ pictures of how much fun the learning is at #TheFort. 😂
#ELCOtogether
17 - That’s the number of the day.
#teachers @ElcoFort sent me 17 photos during my all-day training @IU13. #Assemblies, #mindfulness, #kindness challenges, rdg grps, & #100thDay celebrations, etc.
If the plan was to make me jealous. IT WORKED!

Grateful for #teachers @ElcoFort who accepted my invitation to use #Mindfulness in many settings during the day, like field trips! Also indebted to key friends in @FloydSchoolsVA @CheckElementary & @InStillSWVA for past training. #ELCOtogether (thx to @kimsesh for sharing!)
1st Grade #FieldTrip to Corn Cob Acres.
Amidst the #energy & excitement, they took some time on the bus ride back to practice mindful breathing skills for self calming & re-centering.
“Gently smell the rose ... gently blow out the candle.”
