🟢 Play, move, connect! 🤸‍♀️💙

At the start of each Playworks training, Teacher Specialist Mere Dolney gets our Playworks ITs up, moving, and connecting with one another—just like we want our students to do! 🙌

Today’s game: Hula Hoop Fishing! 🎣⭕ Our ITs learned a new activity they can take back to their schools while experiencing firsthand how play can build community and strengthen relationships.

Through Playworks, we’re creating opportunities for students to practice safety, kindness, cooperation, movement, and positivity—all while being physically active and having fun together! 🏃‍♀️🤝✨



Video Description: Teacher Specialist Mere Dolney demonstrates Hula Hoop Fishing for a group of Playworks ITs. The game uses hula hoops and colorful cones, with participants tossing hoops to “catch” the cones. The Playworks ITs then practice the game together. Based on the colors of the cones they catch, participants respond to different discussion topics, combining physical activity with opportunities to talk, connect, and build community.

Forget “ready or not”—we’re READY or READY! The ISD team spent all summer prepping the groundwork, and even though all our teachers don’t officially report on contract for another week, we can’t hold in the hype. We are SO ready to have our educators back!

Today we celebrated two outstanding leaders from our Elementary ELA Team — Bernice Allena and Leigh Ann Fisher — for receiving the Science of Reading District Leader Award! 🎉📚

This award is incredibly rare, with Bernice and Leigh Ann becoming only the 6th and 7th recipients in the entire state to receive this honor. Their leadership, positivity, and commitment to supporting teachers and improving literacy outcomes for students have made a lasting impact not only in Canyons School District, but across Utah.

We are so grateful for the way they continue to lead, learn, collaborate, and advocate for high-quality literacy instruction for all students. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! 💙

✨ Throwback Thursday: Preparing Students for the Future ✨

During our STEM BrainBooster training, teachers learned how to use Sphero robots to bring computer science concepts to life for elementary students. Through coding and interactive challenges, students can build critical thinking, collaboration, and programming skills in engaging, hands-on ways.

We love seeing teachers explore innovative tools that make learning meaningful and exciting! 🤖💡

Happy Tech Tip Tuesday! Today’s tip is LanSchool, the ultimate tool for keeping digital lessons on track. 💻 Maximize focus by limiting student websites to approved URLs, model new concepts by sharing your screen directly to every student device, and regain instant attention with the blank screens feature for those “eyes on me” moments.

LanSchool helps ensure your tech-driven instruction stays productive and distraction-free! 🍎✨
