Our @SuttonCougars teachers were able to receive PL from their colleagues today! 💫 Today’s sessions were intentional, aligned to our CIP, and fun! This is the RIGHT work! 💛#AtlantaPublicSchools @israelavance @SMSFielder @fhenderson1908 @MsBlairAPS @APHoward_Sutton @billups_LA
So excited to welcome back our students!
“I’m very concerned that our society is much more concerned with information than wonder, in noise rather than silence. How do we encourage reflection? … Oh my, this is a noisy world.”
These ladies are true @SuttonCougars heroes! Thankful for such an incredible team of ladies who are dedicated to ensuring Sutton is running smoothly! Looking forward to kicking off the school year! 🖤💛🖤💛 #AtlantaPublicSchools

Bravo @bilingualcharm and @ElisaDelisa72 @DrMacyJ and Ms. Ramirez! 🎉 Effective biliteracy implementation requires these explicit connections! Great work! 😍 @israelavance @SuttonCougars @MerriweatherEDU @Retha_Woolfolk
Ms. @ElisaDelisa72 and I chose Friday as our "Día de conexiones". Students share what they are learning in ELA with @DrMacyJ and Ms. Ramirez. They explore ways in which Spanish and English connect and how this helps them strengthen their biliteracy. @SuttonCougars @APSDualLang
⭐️ Congrats to our Lesson Of The Week Winner, Ms. Rivera! Earlier this week, I observed her students engaged in inquiry-based learning during their water cycle task! It was a joy to see such high level engagement and rigorous instruction happening for our @SuttonCougars! 💛
