From @gwenblumberg on IG: “Whose voices are heard the most in our classrooms? Teacher voices? Kid voices? The same kid voices? Talk is an art & we can teach kids to grow this skill like any other."
"Progression of Talk" infographic made with colored sticky notes on a file folder. In order of progression: Say anything, Say something relevant, Say something back, Say something to clarify, Say something better, Say something to revise, Say something to provoke, Say something to extend

Happy Sunday! I spent yesterday morning writing a progression of puzzle-y pictarithms for Gr K-7. Concepts build gradually across the grade levels & encourage algebraic thinking & sense-making at every step. Goal is to build strong reasoning & computation skills while having fun!

"Teaching is ultimately an act of hope. Every time I teach a lesson, I hope it will inspire learning. Every time I intervene with a struggling student, I hope it will change the trajectory of their path. The temptation to fall into cynicism is alive and well in education. However, hope is a choice I make every day." —Rachel Jorgensen, Educator

As teachers of mathematics we need to get out of the way and LET kids talk 👄 & share their ideas💡. Give them rigorous tasks and time⏰to solve them. Then let them discuss and evaluate each others' thinking 🧠 & strategies. #Math #Math4All #ITeachMath #MathTeacher @MFAnnie

Creating a better depiction of the difference between place values! One thousand is 1,000 x more than 1! And it’s a BIG difference! Thanks @gregtangmath for the idea! 🥰 @LightFarmsElem @LFEGrade3 #prosperproud

Education is about developing an identity as a learner. The goal isn’t to complete an assignment. It’s to be a thinker. The goal isn’t to get a right answer. It’s to be a questioner. The goal isn’t to read a book. It’s to be a reader.

We can't stop or control the future, but we can make moment by moment choices to let our souls rest in God and God alone. He is sure. He is faithful. He is good.

Remember your WHY today. We don’t get burned out because of what we do. We get burned out because we forget why we do it. You’re here to make a difference and you can right where you are.
