This week, our instructional learning walks took us into classrooms at Tamassee-Salem and Keowee Elementary, where we saw lots of great learning in action!

At Tamassee-Salem, 3rd graders were building their skills across math and reading, from solving three-digit subtraction word problems to learning in reading small groups. Fourth graders were engaged in reviewing math concepts and strengthening their vocabulary skills.

At Keowee, 4th graders brainstormed and began drafting personal narratives, while 5th graders were learning in ELA, building their understanding of vocabulary and text and graphic features.

We are thankful for our teachers and the intentional learning opportunities they create for students each day. It’s always exciting to step into classrooms and see our Promise of Excellence in action!

This week, SDOC middle school math teacher representatives utilized a Professional Learning Community (PLC) to dive into the South Carolina Department of Education’s Dipping into Probability and Statistics session hosted at the Hamilton Career and Technology Center.

Teachers explored engaging ways to strengthen mathematical thinking through hands-on activities and probability simulations. They are excited to share new tools and strategies with their peers to create outstanding learning experiences for students, practicing problem solving, making predictions, analyzing results, and metacognition.

Thank you to the South Carolina Department of Education for coming to SDOC and providing this learning opportunity for our teachers!

Great learning is happening across our SDOC classrooms!

This week, the elementary instructional team had the opportunity to visit several schools and see students learning in action! At Ravenel, 4th graders applied their learning about energy by building and testing ramps. At Orchard Park Elementary, 4th and 5th graders were engaged in math small-groups and independent practice. At Walhalla Elementary, 2nd graders strengthened their skills through guided math games and structured literacy instruction.

We are thankful for our teachers and the meaningful learning opportunities they create for students everyday. We look forward to stepping into more classrooms next week and continuing to fulfill our Promise of Excellence across district classrooms!
