@Jess_Keating Denise Hunter books are my favorite. They remind me of a Hallmark movie in a book. Melody Carlson books are cute, cozy, and sweet too!

@PrincipalPaul Yay! Glad she's enjoying it.

Thanks @MrsMencl for fixing this girl up with a good book today at school! She’s really enjoying Ghosts by Raina Telemeier while waiting for her dance lesson! #UVlearn

This morning Union Valley grade school recognized first responders durning announcements. A group of students sang a song for us and breakfast was provided. Thank you very much @BuhlerUSD313 @PrincipalPaul @Rantime @HutchPD

My 4th graders are lrng about US regions, and national parks. If you live somewhere outside of Kansas (in the US or in another country), we would love to get a postcard: Union Valley Elementary School Mrs Harder’s Class 2501 East 30th Avenue Hutchinson, KS 67502

@PrincipalPaul @teachburkhart1 She loves doing yoga at home too! She says it calms her. 💜

Check out these PreK Yoga Masters! Mindfulness helps us learn! #UVlearn

@crayons_coffee We LOVED having you visit! Thanks for the great questions, reflection, and help during math today. You're welcome anytime!

CGI observations today were the BEST! Organization✔️Clarity✔️ High Expectations✔️ Deep questioning✔️ High levels of mathematical understanding✔️ Engaged Ss✔️ THANK YOU @MrsMencl for opening your classroom and being open and SO helpful during reflections. You’re amazing! #UVlearn

@courtbley @MathforLove Love this!

What do you notice? What do you wonder? Patterns, numbers, questions, making connections- I love my job! #mathisfun #primeclimb

This amazing mathematician solved 6x15 using many strategies that made sense to him. Counting by 6's was hard. He found that counting by 10's and 5's was easier and more efficient. #UVlearn #CGI

Comments during math today went something like this..."There are so many ways I could solve this problem! This is fun. Can we do math like this everyday?" Math using CGI allows S choice, voice, critical thinking & problem solving w/excitement about what they are doing. #UVlearn

@rbharder This makes my heart so happy. I love that I get to be on this journey with you as we learn and grow better together. I love even more that my kid has you as a teacher who is so excited about this.

Sitting at the dentist’s office after 3 days of CGI office. My brain is full but my heart is so excited to start this journey. And then this shows up. Just affirmation that I’m headed in the right direction. When we know better, we do better. #uvlearn edutopia.org/article/what-d…

@kelleremix This makes me smile. 😊

@crayons_coffee @ESSDACK Yay!!! Let's talk! I can't wait to hear about what you did and their thinking.

First day with S after an empowering training of CGI— “Just watch and listen.” These kinders conversations and explanations were powerful! I cannot wait to understand my S mathematical thinking so deeply 😍Let the journey begin! #UVlearn #UV3D @ESSDACK

@support_a_teach Take one day at a time. Look for opportunities to grow and glean from others. Work hard to build positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Give yourself grace. Be reflective.

What is your advice for all of the new teachers entering the field?
