Mrs. Davis (Spano)

Big change for me this year! After 20+ yrs in Mid School Math & STEAM I'll be at new school teaching 4th gr ELA. Any help to make this the cozy & safe learning space I have always had would be much appreciated #clearmylist #clearthelist #SupportAClassroom amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

At @PghSchiller 1 way we are building #SelfEfficacy is through a #growthmindset and the Power of Yet! We had some help from @sesamestreet and @JanelleMonae @PPSnews @STEAMPrincipal

A few kids decided to share some holiday joy with the staff that makes @PghSchiller so amazing. And just like that I had 4 busy makers on our @dremel digilab laser cutter & @silhouetteam cameo. So proud of how they took what they learned to make people smile #makers #teacherlife

We heard from strong females who are passionate and excelling in STEAM careers. These girls are the future of STEAM and are going to change the face of the industry ♀️🦸🏽‍♀️ #girlpower #GirlsInSTEM Me & @STEAMcounselor loved seeing our ladies learn! @CarnegieSciCtr @STEAMPrincipal

Wow, does @sarahheinzhouse know how to host! Today our 8th gr girls were lucky enough to ROAR (Reimagine Opportunities to Achieve & Rise) We explored laser cutting, drones, chemistry, artificial intelligence, making, & more ♀️🦸🏽‍♀️ #girlpower #GirlsInSTEM @PPSnews @STEAMpghschools

Feeling wintery! Assessing our learning on circuits with the new @PlayBlooket! I love how excited the kids get one s new mode comes out!

Finishing 6th gr unit on the #EngineeringDesignProcess w/ focus on the Improve phase Ss made wind runners w/ Legos, a straw + a cardstock sail Ss to Ss feedback was beautiful during the Test phase! #growthmindset #edutwitter #steamed @PghSchiller @STEAMpghschools @STEAMPrincipal

@themerrillsedu @Kahoot @PearDeck @DoInkTweets @Socrative @edpuzzle @wakelet @Seesaw @gimkit Yep! Didn't recognize and I'm always looking for new tech tools! Solid list you have!

@SpanoPPSSteam @Kahoot @PearDeck @DoInkTweets @Socrative @edpuzzle @wakelet @Seesaw @gimkit I think the one you are referring to is called Explain Everything which is a digital whiteboarding app.

Formative assessments don't have to be time consuming or boring for students. 😤 Apps like @Kahoot, @PearDeck, @DoInkTweets, @Socrative, @edpuzzle, @wakelet, @Seesaw, @gimkit and others can be used! 🙌🏻 How are you using these tools? 🤔 #TeacherTwitter #teaching #EdTech

@HethRobo @firstlegoleague @HetheringtonPS Where is that mat from? Was this an original build or something you would be willing to share? It's awesome! Good luck in competition!

Our rookie coders are getting better. Successfully coded two missions along with rebuilding an attachment today in under 60 minutes. Almost @firstlegoleague competition ready! @HetheringtonPS #RoboHawks

This is what we do it for! 🔊 sound up to hear the pure joy & pride they had watching their paper circuit helicopters in action! 7th gr finishing a unit on electricity thru making! #steamedu #learnbydoing #teachertwitter @PghSchiller @STEAMpghschools @PPSnews @STEAMPrincipal

@ReganLYates Work Mon - Wed; Off Thurs, Fri and next Mon

Educators, are you off all week? Or do you have school Monday and Tuesday? #teachertwitter #ThanksgivingBreak

@gregtangmath Love these puzzles!

I see you're working on squares & square roots. Here's a fun Thanksgiving Pictarithm for you and your kids. More here! TangMath.com/puzzles

@melinda_valdez1 @tinkercad @dremel @NISDBeard Love them! How does well does the color from the Sharpies stay on? Never thought of that! Last year we used nail polish 🤣

4th & 5th graders designed keychains for their backpacks on @tinkercad. Over 200 keychains printed on my @dremel 3D printer. They came out great!!! @NISDBeard

Fun with Fluency on a Friday! Love @quizlet Live action for quick math facts. Today we tackled squares and square roots in Math Lab! #everyoneisamathperson #edtech

Using @LEGO_Education Spike Kits to code shapes with precision. This was an example of "I didn't get it yet" Watching the students adjust coding to get precise right angles was our #growthmindset in action today! @PghSchiller #coding #edtech @STEAMPrincipal @STEAMpghschools

@EDUwithEmily @loyzee53 I'm lean in the don't give candy camp. I don't give often or as a bribe to do something but every now and then my kids get candy. How does it stop you from doing your job?

@loyzee53 I’m super chill. I just need it to stop so I can do my job.

Stop giving students candy in the middle of the school day.

First quarter is in the books! We ended our Restaurant Ownership Career Exploration w a showcase of our replicas. This was the student-voted best overall. Peer compliments included! They were so devoted to their restaurant concepts! @STEAMpghschools @STEAMPrincipal @PghSchiller

Last #PLC we used a strategy from @instituteofplay to debate digital v nondigital learning Our staff was all about the #SocraticSmackdown! This week 2 of our ELA tchrs did it with their class! Pictured: staff & debate prep in @STEAMBraun room @PghSchiller @PPSnews #gamification
