Military Appreciation…@ClemsonFB always does a phenomenal job honoring those that paid the ultimate sacrifice and recognizing our veterans! #purpleout
Introduced @robertkaplinsky @openmiddle tasks today! To say they loved it was an understatement. The Ss persevered. They didn’t want to stop. Debriefed at end. Ss said it was fun, they didn’t give up, it made them think, etc. I’d say it was a success! 🙌🏻

Wonder if my OAS team remembers this quote ? @BrennaKMcCo @ElemSciEd_White @kayce_prince @Tabatha_Hughes @DawnDJacobs
I don’t read a lot outside of professional reading for elem mathematics but I LOVE true crime. Picked up this @JohnGrisham book at Barnes & Noble while in Isle of Palms. I’m hooked & will def read more of his books! Which of his 📚 should I read next?

I might be their Social Studies teacher, but I had some of my students doing number sense routines this morning. “Can we do another one?” was music to my ears! @JohnSanGiovanni @SteveWyborney
Second year back in the classroom after “retiring”, but I’ve been asked to be the math coach. Going back to the math world, after teaching 5th gr social studies this past year!
If you were sitting in on an interview for a 5K & 5th grade math position, what questions would you ask?
Finally have some time for math professional reading. The title of the first chapter is 🔥 🙌🏻 “Proactive Intervention: Fixing Structures, Not Children”. @ksquaredmath1 @LatrendaK
Ts, if you don’t already, keep a record of the good! I keep 📝 & emails from Ss, parents and colleagues that uplift me. It’s nice to read them when days get hard. #KnowThyImpact
A few weeks ago, I modeled a lesson in 1st gr & referred to the Ss as mathematicians. T told me afterwards that their 👀 lit up when I called them that. Yesterday I saw them in the hallway and asked, Who’s a mathematician? Every Ss raised their hand! 🙌🏼

Deanna has 7 new fish, but each bowl fits only 3. How many bowls will she need?

Looking for ideas for elementary math PD/PL on the go. Want something that will only Ts a few minutes to read or watch. Any help will be appreciated!

In this lesson, students tackle a real-world multiplication problem, build connections across strategies like the area model & standard algorithm, and learn to communicate their reasoning with confidence: nctm.link/QUaNH

Ss were given a puzzle (without the picture) & had to work together to put it together. Afterwards I facilitated a discussion about collaboration.
