This school year has been a challenge to say the least, but it’s the beautiful heart of a student that has me smiling through the hard times. Her hardships have only made her stronger and I’m blessed to have her as a student. #beautifulsoul #flowersbringsmiles

It’s been awhile, but I’m proud to report these kids have show tremendous growth in reading and math! Look at the scores on the right from our current math test. #divisionmasters #littlegoalsetters

These kids continue to amaze me, especially when it’s been a tough couple of weeks. They are multiplication masters. #goalgetters #littlegoalsetters

These 3rd Graders worked very hard on their first multiplication unit. Always continuing to show growth! #littlegoalgetters

It was so fun to be "in" the classroom for a government talk with Mrs. Little's 3rd Grade Class at Callaway Hills. They had great questions, and I even signed their bills into "laws"! @CH_3rdGraders @JCSchools_

Thank you @CarrieTergin for meeting with our class via Zoom today! It was great to hear about your job as mayor and to have you sign our bills into “laws”! Thanks!

We’ve been learning about the 3 Branches of Government. The kids wrote a leaf with a fact from each branch of government to add to the tree.

Celebrating our 2nd Class Expectations Party with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! We had our own “wonka” bar and apples with caramel! The kids are even noticing the differences from the book! 🤩

A big takeaway from #shakeuplearning is the use of a Tic-Tac-Toe choice board or menu. I used to struggle with why student should do when they finish early. #wwu543 #edtech #edchat #studentchoice #letthemlearn

I used to think I had a overall idea of the basic Google “features,” but from Kasey Bell’s book I’ve learned so many awesome tips and tricks! #shakeuplearning #edchat #edtech #wwu543 #alwayslearning #lovingtech

Daily Math Review is amazing and these third graders knocked place value out of the park! #mathematicians #littlegoalgetters

@Evan_Markowitz @KaganOnline @Evan_Markowitz @KaganOnline has been a life saver during our first few weeks back to school. I learned so many great ways to incorporate Kagan into socially distanced learning. I'm going to borrow this idea! Great idea!

Our 4th graders utilizing the @KaganOnline cooperative learning structure Showdown to review types of sentences. We love being in these engaging classrooms where kiddos are having fun learning! #KaganStructures

I want students to give peer feedback, but am not sure how to implement this through Google Classroom other than in the comments section of the assignments. I'm open to suggestions using technology. #edtech #edchat #shakeuplearning #wwu543 #virtualfeedback

This week, I commented on student work via Google Classroom. I commented on their work and returned it, but I wish there was a way for their parents to receive the feedback as well. Thoughts? #edtech #wwu543 #shakeuplearning #edchat #techfeedback

A little morning team building to start the week! #fannpick #kagan #happymonday

@ShakeUpLearning I just read this in your book and it really hit home! Students need to be learning or exploring 100% of the time in or out of school. Just how do we do that as teachers to model this for them? Nutrition is good for the body, mind, and soul!

Giving students a more creative license to grow as learners and teach their peers is where I’d like to go. Extended student learning outside the walls and subject needs to happen! #ShakeUpLearning #wwu543 #edtech #edchat #thinkoutsidethebox

Kasey Bell outlines Dynamic Learning in her Shake Up Learning book. Allow students to extend their learning “beyond the due date” because they learn so much more and teach us along the way! #edchat #ShakeUpLearning #wwu543 #edtech #funfacts #newknowledge

Looking forward to what these kiddos and goal setters will do this year! #goalgetters #littlelearners #ww543 #edtech #edchat #ShakeUpLearning

Empowering students to be intrinsically motivated starts with the teacher. I enjoy goal setting and encourage my students to do the same! This year we are using online data binders! #goalsetters #edchat #ww543 #edtech #shakeuplearning
