One of my favorite activities to start the year. Doing the 100 Numbers Challenge to build group work expectations. All students lean in and stay focused! @ColgateES
Inspired by @GlobalKdsl we started our math writing experience “Dear Math” this week by reflecting on our math feelings over time. We graphed our feelings to start journaling.
The TSA agent (eyeing my gallon bag of overpacked liquids): 👀 is that a quart size bag…?
Me (after hearing @joboaler new math mindset): ISH!
What a great conference! Thank you to the whole @MidSchoolMath team and all those who attended!

Congrats again to @MsKovel, recipient of the first Gladys Graham Award #2024MidSchoolMath
Presented with my good pal @wgibso1 at #nctm23 on our study about improving math identity with a coding project and look who greeted me from the @MidSchoolMath team! Missing my friend tremendously but so grateful to feel her with us there!
A wonderful way to represent every student at school. A rainbow of self portraits using colors by grade. Brings me joy to look at! @ColgateES has a great art teacher 🎨 🌈
Seeing Jason Reynolds speak about his new book, There Was A Party for Langston, at the beautiful @prattlibrary. 📖 ❤️
Day 2 of thin slicing/problem strings and the thinking persists! You can see the knowledge mobility having an impact… @BCPSMATH @edicello15 @pgliljedahl
Experimenting this year with @pgliljedahl Thinking Classrooms and improving student thinking dispositions. I’d say something’s working… 100% engagement in this problem string…
Next up on our E’s summer author tour is Donald Crews and his wonderfully fun stories and great illustrations!
Baby E’s next author study is a fave @JackieWoodson !! 📚 thanks to @prattlibrary … (sorry E, this is what happens when you have a mom who’s a teacher…)
He might only be 3mo old, but baby E is all signed up for summer reading at @prattlibrary and his first author study of the incomparable @PatriciaPolacco
Miss you Graham! Will always celebrate you and the impact you made on me and our school ❤️
Today @CHeckert21 and I had the honor to award the first ever Gladys Graham Memorial award to a student who embodies her spirit of life and learning. Missing you always, GG 💙💛 @ColgateES
Our grade 3 team + reading team + admin immersed in a thinking classroom experience using base 4 math tasks to develop understanding about tools and routines that engage and facilitate true learning for all levels. Great discourse and productive struggle! @ColgateES @pgliljedahl
Teachers @ColgateES dive into planning with a focus on shifting to student-centered questioning. Using the SMPs to advance thinking skills in our math classrooms!
Our first experience with #thinkingclassrooms and #vwbs from @pgliljedahl was AMAZING 🤩 so much intentional thinking and multiple representations - Ss annotating Ss work and doing all the sense making @ColgateES @edicello15 @BCPSMATH
Overheard at Colgate: “I’m not sure if I can do it, but I’m willing to try!” (grade 4 student) @edicello15
Brilliant 4th grade thinkers using their self-created fraction models to investigate equivalent fractions! This session brought math energy! ⚡️ @ColgateES @edicello15 @TeacherFrieze @BCPSMATH
