Ss in Ms. Kozi's class used balance scales today to explore decomposing fractions - what do you think they discovered? @hcpss_thes @HCPSSElemMath

Most leaders value loyalty. Great leaders put a higher premium on integrity. Loyalty is allegiance to power. You're expected to show deference and follow orders. Integrity is allegiance to principles. You're expected to challenge orders that violate your mission or values.

I LOVE how this @hcpss_dles teacher purposely sits on the floor with her students when students are sharing their mathematical thinking. A small move with a big impact. @HCPSSElemMath

Fluency isn't just for reading. Tonight @hcpss_dles played games and learned why estimation, skip counting, decomposing, and making 10 are important skills to developing math fluency. @HCPSSElemMath

Shout out to the students in Mrs. Thomas's class for their flexible thinking during the number routine "Say it as a make tens"!

Whooo's excited for math? The @hcpss_dles math team is! #weareducketts @HCPSSElemMath

Math + students and their families = a fun night for everyone @hcpss_dles's March Mathness last night. Thank you to our amazing staff and @HcpssTitleI!

The @hcpss_dles Math Team is showing off our math "spirit"

Amazing and insightful student conversations about fact strategies while playing this game today in @hcpss_dles 4th grade. Some Ss used their 3s and 4s to help with 6s and 8s while others decomposed their facts in other ways. @HCPSSElemMath

This morning we launched the @hcpss_dles Figuring Out Fluency book club. Ts had rich discussions while playing "Just Right" & collaborated to create slides for the routine, "Is it reasonable?" I can't wait to see it in action in their classrooms! @JohnSanGiovanni @JBayWilliams

If you give a student an engaging math task, they will want to model with mathematics @hcpss_dles @HCPSSElemMath

Feeling inspired by @hcpss_dles third grade students this morning as they start the year focusing on their math identity @HCPSSElemMath

As a math support teacher, you may not always know your impact on the students in your building. Thankful for this tweet and the opportunity to work with this amazing student! My bucket is filled today :) @HCPSSElemMath

@Tuliani @kfil23 It was my privilege to work with Veer and get to know your family.

@kfil23 @KristenLMangus Veer has fond memories of you and all the other teachers in his elementary school! You gave him the building blocks to learn and encouraged him so much! Thank you!

20 years!

@lubellchick 15+ years is amazing and a gift! So sorry Juli :(

Thank you to our Principal, Mrs. Balter, and Assistant Principal, Mrs. Madden, for calling every staff member today and letting us know how much you C.A.R.E. about @hcpss_dles staff! @hcpss

@MrsShappELL I put it in my bag for you :)

@KristenLMangus I’m ready to borrow when we return!!

Finished reading this today. The strategies in this book lift up the importance of language routines and formative assessment in the mathematics classroom even though they are not mentioned explicitly. Now what to read next?

@bkobett @ksquaredmath1 @NCTM @CorwinPress I share my love of math and my enthusiasm for math so that students will also love math and be enthusiastic about it.

I didn't get any responses to this question. I think it is hard to recognize our strengths, but it is CRITICAL to the work. BE BRAVE MY FRIENDS! What are your strengths in the classroom? I will start - I am ENTHUSIASTIC! @ksquaredmath1 @NCTM @CorwinPress #strengthsbasedmath
