@nmrobinson_ @ISBEnews SO happy too see the phrase “Advanced Learner” all throughout this plan. All means all!!!

@MrsKielsClass Such an incredible group of students…in every way!

This class never disappoints! While making snowflakes they broke into song.

@mathteacher24 @pwharris A great idea!

Two color counters for teaching integers/operations. Thoughts? The good, the bad, the ugly? #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat

@AnikaMBrandt @pwharris I use that same language. :)

@BradBMath @pwharris Exactly what I was going to say!! Thank you! Purpose matters.

@pwharris I've seen people criticize tiles and other representation systems on account of how inefficient it is to carry out computations on them. These criticisms typically overlook the fact that tiles are optimized for *understanding* computation, not for doing it.

@pwharris With lots of explanation, I’ve found it to be quite effective as a tool for teaching additive inverse.

Starbooks anyone? K-5 students previewed new books in a cute cafe style. They enjoyed books like, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Sleigh and The Wild Robot Protects while listening to music and taking in the aromatic scent of coffee.

@ROConnorCSBO @D59Devonshire These students were incredible! Way to go, @D59Devonshire and Mrs. Novoselsky, our fantastic art teacher!!
