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

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! It's an opportunity to bring attention to the importance of our mental health and promote open conversations about it. The students in Atlanta are helping spread awareness by sharing how they are, KIND TO THEIR MINDS! #beAMAzing #31nTherapy

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
