Hey @katyisd 👋 Please the kids come to the parade! #GoStros

Using Social Studies passages in RLA to analyze text structure and features @BeckJuniorHigh! #crosscurricularlearning #katyisdELA @missmkhughes

@CoachLaFollett @TaylorKratz1 @Khan_Michelle8 @lindseymstevens @MsKNorris @ChrisJDuarte59 Maybe Age of Jackson? Causes of his ascendancy, Executive actions, and Effects on government and the nation?

@TaylorKratz1 @Khan_Michelle8 Could this could work for 8th US history? I’ve looked at it & like the idea of it but I can’t find a place for it to fit. Maybe some sort of mixture of reform, industrialization & causes of the Civil War? Thoughts? @lindseymstevens @MsKNorris @ChrisJDuarte59 @PocketTheFool

@CoachLaFollett @coachwills4 @Mrs_Rowe12 Children never listen to their own (work) Mamas.

@coachwills4 @Mrs_Rowe12 @PocketTheFool You didn’t have to contract out your advice for me.

I’m always grateful to work with a team like @CoachLaFollett @Treyg2 & @Vdavenpo who are willing to take chance on a different kind of lesson. Our classes created The Ballad of the American Revolution today, and their creativity had a chance to shine!

@hwbrands I’ve preordered mine, and I can’t wait to read it! I’m disappointed about, but totally understand, such a limited tour. Hearing you speak in Houston with Dreams of El Dorado was a great experience.

A little light reading (of the DoI and Constitution) while they wait for the other Road to Revolution carousel groups to finish. 😊Great activity from @CoachLaFollett!

@Mrs_Rowe12 @CoachLaFollett @Treyg2 @Vdavenpo We’re going to miss you!!

My sweet teammates @PocketTheFool @CoachLaFollett @Treyg2 and @Vdavenpo surprised me today with some farewell treats!!! I’ve enjoyed the last year being on your team, y’all are some of the best. #alwaysbeaviking #teachertribe #newadventures

I’m biased because I think Henry Clay is the best, but I’d recommend the tour of his museum at Ashland in Lexington highly. Wonderful, knowledgeable guides and a beautiful home.

Loved the cutting soldiers activity we did in f2f (thanks, @CoachLaFollett @Mrs_Rowe12 @Treyg2!) I attempted a digital version. North and South create soldiers using different rules. Pic is example from my class's work. Link is activity w/instructions. 😊 docs.google.com/presentation/d…

I don’t have tons of followers, but if anyone would like a holiday themed review activity, I created this “Elf” inspired template you can use and share. The instructions for using it are on the last slide. Enjoy! docs.google.com/presentation/d…

I've never shared anything I've made before on Twitter, but I think this Haunted House Google Slides activity template might be useful if you need a review game. The instructions for using it are the last slide in the show. Enjoy! 👻 docs.google.com/presentation/d…

@KKitchens06 @CoachLaFollett They were rating events leading to the R. War in terms of causing unrest. They had 36 blocks to drag and drop which created a bar graph. Each breakout group had its own slide in a Google Slide show. In grid view you can watch them all in real time!

@CoachLaFollett @PocketTheFool I have so many questions....my technology brain is very intrigued. What is this? How are you seeing so many screens? What is this used for? Can you email me?!? Hahahahah

Unrestometer to determine which events caused the most unrest before the Revolution. Well done @PocketTheFool! #katyisdss #alwaysbeaviking

@CoachLaFollett @Treyg2 @MrsRowe_AJH Whoa- might be too controversial. We don’t want another hot dog/sandwich near riot. 😆

Our writing prompt for our initial Thesis Writing activity? @PocketTheFool @Treyg2 @MrsRowe_AJH

Three years on, I want to highlight the amazing work of the 2018-19 7th grade Beck JH TX History students. Please consider a signal boost so that more people can see the hard work of these historians. youtube.com/playlist?list=… via @YouTube

C’mon teachers; let’s get to Zoomin’!!!

Please help 3 of my former students ensure that everyone is represented by asking @Bitmoji and @Facebook Avatars to have options for people with disabilities. Here’s the link to the petition: change.org/p/snap-inc-fac…

Processing Choice Menu Boards are so practical and user friendly! The leveled sentence stems are perfect! #e4eConsulting #kisdlearns

@atun_shei First, let me say that I think your history videos are amazing (especially the NO content; I’m an old Cajun woman). As a US History teacher who creates a lot of my own materials, I have a weird question: What is the name of the font you primarily use in your videos?

Comment with a GIF of how your first day of online teaching/ learning has been!
