@msphillpotts @RAMcMath Even more fun to drive them! Excited to see the garden!

Are you like me and have a fascination with diggers? @RAMcMath Our indigenous “garden” is getting closer to being a reality.

A Culturally Responsive Classroom – Rooted in the idea of cultural competency, teachers, and leaders do not attempt to ignore or erase students’ unique cultural identities. Instead, students are encouraged to come with their full authenticity and are accepted and valued.

@tnnatureschool Those look amazing! Love it!

And look at our soil sifters! @AlByres

Loved being able to see the amazing accessible playground ideas generated in Ms.Parents class today! An excellent #adst project @homma_school #sd38learn Thanks for allowing me to play a small part in it!

@MrTrack1 @YouTube How cool are those #robot! I am so definitely in! ADST / Maker projects!!

Congrats to Mr.Crowe @RAMcMath for putting three mud kitchens together with his Skilled Trades Exploration class. Many happy hours of fun created through #ADST. Lots of learning, followed excellent questions like “I wonder how we could have done that better?” #sd38learn

@cori_anderson_ So good to see the STX construction project from @RAMcMath being so well used! #sd38learn #ADST

Mud kitchen fun! These students started a restaurant and so much math language evolved naturally. How much for a milkshake? If I give you $5, what will my change be? Making arrays of “crab patties” made us think about multiplication.

@LibraryJn @BurnettBreakers Congrats to the dedicated Coach Bevan who made this possible!

... the little plywood robot that could!!!! Congratulations to our awesome @BurnettBreakers team - against all odds playing in the big league without industry support or fancy steel frame robot. #takethatNASAsupportedteams #sd38learn #rtla38

@marieratcliffe4 @VanSunRun @SimonSees Congrats on the anniversary and hope you have a great run!

@jimknight99 Thanks Jim, I will do!

@AlByres Thank you for being there @AlByres. I was grateful to everyone for the conversation. Please pass on my hellos to everyone in Richmond.

Another amazing day learning and exploring #Instructionalcoaching with a group of amazing educators and @jimknight99 #sd38 #sd38learn

@rebecarubi0 @ncampbell38 We are spending a whole day on engagement!!

@AlByres Masters! @ncampbell38 😂

Totally consumed by the concept of FLOW #instructionalcoaching #jimknight99

@14stevesk1 @stevescyclones @Steves8M Ooh! I think I might know!! Super excited to see where we are going!!

We made a door by using paper. We used the tape measure to measure our classroom door and the paper. We measured how long it is and how wide it is. We wonder why we made a door. @AlByres @stevescyclones @Steves8M

@MrTrack1 Always enjoy 99%! And libraries!

@14stevesk1 @stevescyclones Well done! What fun

How do we decide what materials to use and how to use them when designing and building. Today we tried the Spaghetti Challenge with Div 9. We noticed that sometimes our first ideas didn’t work. We noticed that a marshmallow is heavy! @AlByres @stevescyclones

This has been a question that haunts my thoughts. “The problem as I see it is that we are married to a system that has not been properly re-evaluated for 21st-century capabilities” But it does not consider education to be broad based. Inclusive of electives?

Well done to everyone for a fun and enjoyable Science Jam. Congrats @ncampbell38 #sd38learn

Looking forward to another amazing day discussing our beliefs and habits around #betterconversations. So lovely to have @annghoffman here in #sd38. #sd38learn

How far will a ball go? We wondered if there is a way to have a ball go a shorter distance. We noticed that the slope & where we started the ball made a difference. We also noticed that using foam blocks instead of wood made a difference. #friction @AlByres @stevescyclones
