Here in CNY, it's the perfect weather to sit by the fire and geek out over math. Im so excited to bring back new energy to my classroom! @pgliljedahl @BuildMathMinds

The product game in action. Games are a great way to differentiate. Each team can have a different board to focus a skill they most need to practice. One group even moved on to creating their own game board. #iteachmath #iteach5th ⁦@MPHlowerschAbdo⁩ ⁦@MPHSchool⁩

For Fire & Safety week we had a special visitor… excuse the blurry photo, 10-week-old puppies don’t stay still. :-) @MPHlowerschAbdo

Last week students created hands with visuals expressions of themselves and their passions. A few students took ownership of the display and constructed 3d “tables” to display their work.

Today we read, “School’s First Day of School”. Lots of great vocabulary discussions! #iteach5th #vocabulary #literacy

We expanded our earthquake houses to bridges. Ss tested their bridges with two earthquake tests and a weight test (cups full of pennies). ⁦@MPHlowerschAbdo⁩ ⁦@MPHbridgeRicc⁩

And our earthquake resistant building winners with a THREE story building! Twice as high as the other competitors. Congrats! @MPHbridgeRicc

There are certain sounds in a classroom… noisy conversations during lunch, excited, overlapping conversations over engaging topics, but nothing beats the deep hushed focused voices when kids are thinking and working and talking. See pics below! @MPHbridgeRicc @MPHlowerschAbdo
