Students are often told *what* to learn without being taught *how* to learn it. Here's how to change that. edutopia.org/article/how-ge…

Thank you Somerville Fire Dept for teaching us about fire safety today! #allin4theville @vdvkindergarten

@mlazarte79 @DotClubConnect Wow! So awesome!! We painted some 2D dots with watercolors in C26!

Today students celebrated International Dot Day by creating dots and making them 3D using iPads. Loved seeing all the creativity and determination! @DotClubConnect

@VDVReading I have been following this org for awhile :) such a lovely mission statement but it’s a bit pricy to be trained

Wouldn’t this be amazing? #allin4theville Who wants to look into with me. facebook.com/14004943502593…

@clarksclassVDV So many amazing points! I especially love how they highlighted how you give them compliments for just being who they are ♥️♥️

I asked my students for a letter of feedback on the school year today…having one of those teacher moments where every struggled I’ve endured is instantly worth it. And there’s no such thing as too many besties!! 😌

@clarksclassVDV I’m so happy we were able to form such special relationships with our buddies this year! We had a blast today!!

Today was ALMOST too much fun for D51 to handle…but not quite 😉. Thanks for hosting us for an outstanding end of year buddy party @Mrs_Assad, we will miss our buddies oh so much!!

For young children, play and the arts aren't precursors to "real" learning—they lay the foundation for healthy brain development. edutopia.org/article/why-ag…

Our first VDV 🐥 keeping warm in the brooder! Resting up after an exhausting hatch. Healthy, happy, and noisy! #allin4theville

@MrsGrace_VDV @SomervilleNJPTO Did they do a little dance to celebrate? 😁

Making moves!! 🐛🦋💕 @SomervilleNJPTO

The chrysalides were moved to the butterfly habitat today. We learned that chrysalides wiggle when moved as a defense mechanism! @SomervilleNJPTO 🐛🦋
