Shoutout to our 3rd Grade PLC Team at Silos

Silos PLC Team

my favorite thing about coming to school is learning new things every day when you're reading and you're stuck on a road um he he we sounded out slowly we work on multiplications a division friendship that's what it called I love school so it's a chance to collaborate and we get to like dive deeper into artiques into what our students are actually showing and you get a lot of good information from it know you get to see the data you get to see how my kids also scored this way or we also had the same struggles we're coming up with Solutions like if we don't feel good about our data what are we going to do about it or if we do feel good about our data we can share ideas of how we got there and it's a lot more collaborative that way because if we're not just sitting and getting it's actually like working out ideas and making sure that we're doing what's best for the kids for example we had to pick an essential tea for Math and so we focused on addition and subtraction and we felt like that's just a foundational skill that you start with at any grade level and build up and last year we kind of knew that but going into PLC this year we were able to figure out why so talking to each other helped us really realize they're missing these steps they have these gaps in these numbers maybe they're not so so great in math but it's a reading problems so we can turn that around and focus more on reading to help them better succeed and vice versa it's important to just go in with an open mind and be able to hear you know even veteran teachers like I've been doing this 8 years I know I don't know everything someone with left experience might have a better idea than I do so it's just going in with that mindset and being able to listen to it and respect it we have learned to trust ourselves but we've also learned to trust each other that there's never a moment where we're like haha you know mine's better or I did better whatever it's how are we all going to move forward with all of our kids and that that's been a game changer because it doesn't feel like you're on like little Islands it really helps you to motivate you to be a better person to be a better teacher and to learn from each other
