@ahsd25supt @AHSD25Westgate @ahsd25 This has been such an amazing experience for these kids and it’s only the beginning!

Creating Möbius strip Valentine hearts was quite the challenge. Always a fun time in 5th grade math @MrsKDarby @mathequalslove #wgleads #d25itspersonal

@ahsd25 So proud of these two! Ana- you have always been an inspiration for me! Thank you for teaching me some words in Albanian! Thank you for always working so incredibly hard in class! You can do anything that you set your mind in doing! 💕

These 2 students arrived in d25 from Albania 🇦🇱 3 years ago knowing no English, and to see where they are at now is 🤯! Many students in d25 are not from 🇺🇸 & our Multilingual team is a safe space for these students to find their footing & grow. #d25OutAbout #d25ItsPersonal

@hmccarthy11 @MadsPB @pernilleripp What do you do for your warm up activity??

@MadsPB @pernilleripp We created a class playlist. A new song is used each day as the timer for our warm up question. Students log on to class on time to see what is playing.

@25aburns @marcbrackett Wouldn’t it be amazing if we were an Uncle Marvin for a student or a colleague?!

Love the question from Jill Siegel wondering about how WE can become someone else’s Uncle Marvin! @marcbrackett says we need to give ourselves permission to pause and reflect and tune into those around us! #d25Permission2Feel

@mrselliechin This was a big take away! It will take time to really identify each specific feeling! Worth the effort!

"We have to name our feelings first because it's a pathway to regulating them." So important to take the time to ask ourselves questions to figure out what we are really feeling. #d25permission2feel

So many take always from the virtual book club! Take aways-breath, be in the present, precisely name your feeling and be someone’s Uncle Marvin! Can’t wait for the next session! #d25Permission2Feel

Yes, it’s fun to play math games, and creating games involves: math standards ✅ strategy ✅ probability of winning✅ teamwork ✅ creativity✅ student voice✅ problem-solving✅ and more. Loved the thinking in your room @MrsKDarby #wgleads #mathchat #math #personalizedlearning

Getting tons of info that will be so useful for our kiddos @ixllive ! We❤️iXL! #IXLLive #wgleads

Enjoying some student created math game’s in @MrsKDarby class! #wgleads @AHSD25Westgate

Continuing to explore Numbers in Nature (Fibonacci & Lucas numbers) in Mrs. Darby’s class. Loved when students asked to rewatch this video “because the numbers were so satisfying.” #wgleads #mathisfun #fibonaccisequence ift.tt/2Nmr4ZW
