Thursday’s regularly scheduled activities were canceled because an important debate needed to be had: Squirrel vs Squarrel We talked dimensions, requirements for sustaining life, adaptations, traits, and more! Their arguments for both were great! #giftededucation

Who says 1st graders can’t handle a little algebra?!? My 1st grade GT group ROCKED this activity and it was the first time they were introduced to the word variable. 😍 #giftededucation

Random find today from @CBSDSchools! My 5th grade GT class and I had the best time solving this! #giftededucation

We are so excited to be back at it! The teams are working to finish up rough drafts before sending them to the editing team! 😍 #LHISD #NewspaperClub #ElementaryTeacher

We’re official now! Be on the lookout for reporters on campus. 🤩 #LHISD

Yesterday we held the first ever meeting of the Santa Rita Newspaper Club! We are so excited to create a newspaper by our students and for our students! Be on the lookout for our first issue in May 2024. 🥳 #LHISD @LHIndependent

We’ve flipped the fraction unit! We are tackling equivalent and comparing fractions first. Models, models, models! I can’t wait to see if/how this impacts fraction understanding and data! 😍 #iteachmath #elementarymath

Real life math happening today! 😂 I had leveled challenge questions and broke students into groups to solve before they started their weekly quiz. One last confidence boost before the graded stuff. #iteachmath @LHISD_IC

I was inspired by Miss Bayer’s PD on #BuildingThinkingClassrooms and added this to our math routine! Six random groups, vertical white boards, a challenge problem, and 1 marker per group. Such a powerful & collaborative way to work! Thank you for sharing w/ our campus! @LHISD_IC

Had a great PLC collab discussion with @LHISD_IC on modeling division. Followed that up with small group lessons modeling multiplication. Today felt powerful! 💜🤟🏻💛 #MTBoS #iteachmath #plc

Musical math chairs! My students have dubbed it MMC. I didn’t have this on the plans for the day, but they begged for it! I love the enthusiasm and engagement! Oh, and I love a quick stop/start. 😂 (4 probs, no talking, must show work, winner is first to 100%) #mtbos #iteachmath

I gave my 4th grade students a numberless word problem and asked them to come up with a plan for solving. My teacher heart was bursting with pride when variables began popping up on their papers! 😍 #mtbos #iteachmath #teachertwitter

Today’s dose of happiness brought to you by the sweetest group of 4th and 5th grade students that chose to spend Wednesdays doing #bulletjournal class with me! 💜 #teachertwitter

The #bujo class has grown for session two! I love getting to spend my Wednesday afternoons with this group! 💜

Today was Blueprint Scavenger Hunt Day! We studied @TilsonHomes floor plans looking for different types of lines and angles. #mtbos #iteach4th #teachersoftwitter

This week I shared my absolute favorite @TEDTalks from @rantonse with my 4th grade math class! Minds were blown! 😍 #mtbos ted.com/talks/roger_antonsen…

MAR10 Day is always one of my favorite days of the year! Warm up puzzle from @mashupmath, equivalent fractions mystery picture, and doing all the things on the playground! #mtbos #iteachmath #iteachfourth

Is my anchor chart pretty? Nope. Is it intentional AND useful? Yep! I learned this style from @mathcoachjenny years ago. Creating anchor charts WITH my students is one of my favorite ways to kick off a unit! #mtbos #iteachmath

I just completed the @Quizizz Game Changer Certification! I had no idea there were so many new question types and I’ve been using Quizizz for a few years! Check it out! 🎉 💜 quizizz.com/home/gamechanger… #edtech #youcanwithquizizz
