We are trying something new this year to help spotlight more students and teachers on our school's blog. Once a month this school year we will be featuring a guest blog post from a different team of teachers in our building.
This month's blog post is from our team that includes our ESOL (English as a Second or Other Language, also called English Learners), school counselors, and intervention teachers.
Here's what they've shared about who they are and how they're working with students so far this year.
English Learners
Ms. Sabra Timmins
3rd Grade English Learners send a photo greeting to the preK class. They are looking forward to serving as reading buddies and mentors to the youngest students at BBES this school year.
After English Learners shared the book "All Are Welcome," we talked about what that looks like at BBES. Students created artwork and "welcome" signs in other languages to help everyone feel good about being at our school.
Guidance
Mr. Miles Nelson
My name is Miles Nelson and I am one of two schools counselors at Baker Butler Elementary. I work primarily with third through fifth grades. The beginning of the year starts with with building rapport with students. In the classroom lessons we are working on empathy and collaboration to help build our community within BBES.
I am Welby Moon and I am the other one of the two school counselors! :) I work primarily with grades K-2. This week the kindergarteners were introduced to Sooper Puppy and learning about feelings.
Intervention teachers
Ms. Marcee Porterfield, Ms. Tabitha Roberts, and Ms. Danielle Paxton
