Great book! Fun read for October! Lot's of possibilities for literacy and math activities.

Cool idea to introduce tables!

These past few weeks, we have been exploring Bluebonnet Learning lessons in 3rd through 5th grade classrooms. It was great to see how fluid the instruction was while using the Whiteboard app on the iPads for our fluency practice. @gccisd_edtech @CreekMath

✍️ Teaching writing and critical thinking at the same time? It’s not only possible—it’s powerful. These action writing strategies help students organize their thinking, clarify their ideas, and make stronger arguments—all while becoming more confident writers. Whether you teach ELA, social studies, or science, this approach is adaptable, meaningful, and totally doable. Critical thinking doesn’t start with a worksheet—it starts with action. buff.ly/pkyJdK3 #ela #writing #educoach

This semester, one of my biggest focuses in coaching has been intentional opportunities for student discourse. Shoutout to our 1st grade dual language teacher Mrs. Casas for taking this to new levels. Students share their thinking with confidence AND a microphone. 🤍 @CreekMath

From mrssteaches4th_ on IG: "My classroom is so small so there isn’t a lot of space for our many anchor charts. I always want my students to have access to our anchor charts so ... I came up with these mini anchor charts! I just take a picture, cut and laminate for each student!"

PD is often well-intentioned, but can also be ineffective or easily forgotten. Here's how to improve your school's approach—so everyone in the building experiences the joy of learning. 🤩
