And just like that I am a graduate of Samford!!! Bow wow bulldogs, let’s go change the world!!

It is important to use different math strategies in your classroom. A favorite of mine is compensation!! What’s yours?

Today in class, we discussed jamboards! This can be a great resource while teaching math virtually!

We love our professors!!

One of my favorite seminars this semester was the gifted seminar. I learned how to make a choice board for my unit! Choice boards are an awesome way to differentiate in the classroom!

A couple of weeks ago I participated in a professional development about Zoom. I loved learning everything you can do to teach with this technology. What a better time than this to sharpen technology skills! #zoom

I have enjoyed learning about the importance of data in class, I have been able to tie it to my special Ed assessments class where we have been learning about the importance of data to differentiate instruction!

As I was going through assessments to collect data, I couldn’t help but smile at these notes that were a perfect reminder of how much I love teaching! These kiddos killed this matter assessment where the majority of my students scored an 80 or higher!

I miss my teacher friends. I am so incredibly thankful for their encouragement and I can’t believe we are almost done with junior year!!!

We miss our professors so much!

@MsEarle11 @Miss_Cushing It was so fun getting to still connect with our own pals! Thanks @Flipgrid!

@LearningwithMsJ @Miss_Cushing I agree! FlipGrid was so fun when we did it with our Pen Pals! It was precious and I cannot wait to do it with my students.

During this period of online learning, I have learned about so many new technological platforms, and am excited to incorporate them into my teaching! What have been your favorite online platforms and resources that you have used or learned about throughout online learning?

@RayzorSierra @Miss_Cushing That is so true! It has been a very helpful platform for working on group projects and our unit!

@LearningwithMsJ @Miss_Cushing Teams is a great way to share documents with one another and is also a great place to hold collaborative meetings!

@Miss_Cushing I like that too! I love how we have seen it for uses in the classroom but now we are seeing used for distance learning too!

@LearningwithMsJ Flipgrid has been one of my favorites too! My favorite thing about it is that it is easy for students to navigate and they seem to really enjoy making the videos for their friends and teachers.

One great tool I learned about in my Reading class is Running Records! My placement this year was in upper grades in science, so I have loved learning these reading teaching skills!

Thinking back about working with my kids in scribes at MBE. These kiddos were awesome leaders and spread positivity throughout the school! I helped them create and put up this board! #leaders

@_MissBinder_ @mslizhannah @Ms_DanielSU What a cool thing we stumbled upon! What an awesome tool to use to differentiate and to include all students in online learning!!

While playing around on Microsoft Teams, @mslizhannah @LearningwithMsJ @Ms_DanielSU and I discovered close captioning during chats nationaldeafcenter.org/news/remember-… Here are 10 tips for deaf and hard of hearing students during this time. Teaching isn’t one size fits all. #accessibility

All dressed up and getting ready to present our IEP project. These future teachers have worked so hard and I am so proud of them!

I am so proud of @Ms_DanielSU!! She is such a hard worker and love having her as a friend and classmate!

@Ms_DanielSU I think it is so important for us to create a safe environment that fosters strong relationships with our students!
