The AMA ESD, in partnership with MAISA, held our first Math Learning Lab at Wilson Elementary. Eight teachers came together to learn and observe a math routine called Number Corner in Sarah Knoodle's 1st-grade classroom. Sarah, with support from her instructional coach, Brandie Gapske, has spent the year focused on the implementation of this daily math routine, as well as the Essential Instructional Practices in Early Mathematics. We are so thankful they were willing to open their doors for other teachers to learn from their experience and see the instructional practices in action. We look forward to hosting more Learning Labs in our districts in the years to come! #beAMAzing #MiMathEssentials

Exciting News! Thanks to the generous donation from Hunter's Harvest, the STARS Reading Intervention Program at the AMA ESD was able to recently expand its “book store” collection! The students were excited to have additional titles to choose from.
Together, we're making a difference, one book at a time! #beAMAzing #HuntersHarvest #CommunitySupport

Sand tray therapy is a creative and non-threatening way for children (and adults!) to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences. The use of miniatures in the sand can assist them in processing through difficult things and find healing and acceptance over time. Some of the 31n School-based Mental Health providers across the AMA ESD use this type of therapy when working with students. #beAMAzing

Relationships matter: Pictured below is our Happy "Bookiversary" tour day
Julie Bastow and Shellie Gohl deliver a new book and a sweet treat to the Classroom Library Participants from the last two years. The tour was a delightful surprise to the teachers involved.
It was exciting to see classroom libraries continuing to go strong in these classrooms! Kids win when teacher learning has impact that continues on year after year. #beAMAzing
