Woah, @benzulauf2 does it again! Another D99 Cicero Literacy Symposium that simultaneously leaves me proud of the work we have done in @D99Cicero and ready to conquer the next chapter! Sherlock’s next move to systematize and align our fluency instruction loading….

Solution Tree’s Soluciones conference last week was a great way to kick off our summer learning! Sherlock is proud of our efforts to create a dual school— two languages are better than one. 🦈 #somosSherlock #cicerod99

A huge shout out to all of the Sherlock families who rolled up their sleeves and engaged in iReady’s Try It, Discuss It, Connect It routine. Math discourse at its finest and another Sherlock Family Engagement Day success! @D99Cicero @CurriculumAssoc




March Family Engagement Day was a hit! Thanks to our district coaches, Camille Salas and Sandra Nevárez, for teaching our families how to utilize iReady resources at home. More thanks to Linda Parsinen for assisting with Breakout Edu challenges! @D99Cicero

Today, parents came to work alongside their student in a school-wide geometry activity. They stayed for Sherlock Coffee where they also learned to tap out the sounds in words. Our goal is to connect parents with the curriculum, our staff, and other Sherlock families. @D99Cicero




A huge shout out to the parents and teachers who partnered to help our students make Pan de Muerto for Sherlock’s community altar. We know we go big for Día de los Muertos and this was a wonderful addition to this year’s celebration. #somosSherlock @D99Cicero
