@DalePerizzolo @forneyisd Yes! Manipulatives are a great resource we can always use more than we think!

@HeatherHembree1 @forneyisd I love using manipulatives in my classroom (dice, magnet blocks, measuring tools). When we have our specific #IBL sessions I continually encourage students to put themselves into the problem. Use items, measure things, listen to others, and move around! #edchat

Teachers working hard and thinking critically during our Mathematical Problem-Solving cohort yesterday. Brain-Based learning creates a space where everyone thrives! #crosbyconnects @forneyisd #brainbased #edchat #studentcenteredclassroom #mathematicaldiscourse

@forneyisd How fun! Love it!

A little @lead4ward “Ball Toss Boogie” in kindergarten this morning! Mrs. Foster’s class reviewed facts from an informational text on deer. They even created an academic vocabulary bank for students to refer back to if needed! @Crosby_fisd @forneyisd #crosbyconnects #lead4ward

4th grade has been busy making student-created anchor charts! I love the use of academic vocabulary and step-by-step instructions! @Crosby_fisd @forneyisd @lead4ward @thompsonmath #studentleadlearning #lead4ward #studentcenteredclassroom #crosbyconnects

Love this idea for #goalsetting! The 4th graders set S.M.A.R.T. goals AND their teacher is adding an additional way to track data that empowers students and monitors progress. 🚀 @EducationGalaxy @forneyisd @Crosby_fisd

@Crosby_fisd Our kindergarteners are earning ornaments for acts of kindness and great behavior. I’m happy to observe they may soon need a bigger tree! @forneyisd #KindnessMatters #crosbyconnects #kindergarten

@Crosby_fisd @forneyisd @flipflippen love this idea from one of our 2nd grade classrooms! Growing our hearts as we grow as learners! #classroommanagement #2ndgrade #secondgrade #crosbyconnects #forneyfamily

She doesn’t even take her purse off from lunch because she doesn’t want to waste a second of time. @NatashaGbegan you are one of the best teachers I’ve ever known. Every time I leave your room, I take something with me. @TomikaJohnson21 @sherriguerra @DiggsHill #inspiration

@pennyhg92 @TomikaJohnson21 @sherriguerra @Vicpadon @PriceElem @DallasZoo We both were! So cute! ☺️
