In the halls @GABChamps…the annual Bargain Book Fair is underway. Once a year, @elizabethmccue4 is able to give books to every student at the #1 thanks to community donations. CHAMPS are Readers! Enjoy the books!! #ChampLife
New Ts, it's time for a brainstorm! 🧠 How are you planning to find your "marigolds" – the veteran Ts who can provide encouragement and advice for your first-year journey? (Inspired by educator @cultofpedagogy) cultofpedagogy.com/marigolds… #EdChat

With everything going on, it's important to teach kids the power of being mindful. Mindfulness is paying attention to the here and now with kindness and curiosity, and then choosing your behavior. Ideas: Amy Saltzman @stillquietplace Sketchnote: @kwiens62

Food Truck Fest! Student teams designed, built, and ran their very own food truck businesses. We studied logos, menus, and ideas of supply and demand. To culminate, we ran our very own festival with consumers and entrepreneurs! Play-based and Project-based for the win! 🚙🌯💵

Shoutout to @tiktok_us for teaching us about gravity this week! After a classic noticing and wondering discussion on how this video related to gravity, Ss made their own “gravity tiktoks” to demonstrate their understanding! One of my favorite “assessments” yet! #ElonEd

Let's talk about math anxiety ❤ So many of us carry it & I dream of shifting the culture of math to be more liberatory, joyful, freeing! #iteachmath #mtbos I wrote a little something on the @MakerEdOrg blog! Read it here: makered.org/blog/dorasmathch… or follow along on this thread👇🏼

Using pre-assessment data in an anchor chart to 1) honor students' voices 2) allow them to see themselves as mathematicians and 3) save this teacher some time! 🤪 #ElonEd
