We applied the Visual Thinking Strategy to an image from Taylor Swift latest video, Fortnite. Great to see students generalize content from VTS and apply Nevada Department of Education's Visual Art Standards #5thGrade Nevada Museum of Art

Excited to represent Washoe Schools and Nevada Department of Education in this effort.

Aaron Grossman Junior Achievement Thank you for sharing! We're proud to support Junior Achievement.

Great to have Mystery Science approved in Washoe Schools again. We dived right in with this interactive game about ecosystems. Jenn Moss @DiscoveryEd

Great to have Jennifer Hargis, of First Independent Bank, visit the classroom and lead us through a series of Junior Achievement activities. Junior Achievement Western Alliance Bank #FinancialLiteracy

Eight Readers Theater scripts on Living Systems, fostering reading fluency and science understanding, are posted. Download free from justtwoteachers.com/living-systems/. Need ideas on implementation? Read this from Chase Young therobbreviewblog.com/uncategorized/…

My #5thGrade students have moved from reading my Readers Theater scripts, to writing their own based on key events and people from the American Revolution. Science of Reading Classroom goyenfoundation

While we paused for snack, my #5thGrade students learned more about #STEM careers via the Baltimore Orioles and Discovery Education

Of course we went outside to look at the partial eclipse. 🌖Washoe Schools Nevada Department of Education #EclipseSolar2024

If you missed it, Zearn reached the Final 4 in Collaborative for Student Success's March MATHness tournament. It's a High Quality Instructional Materials ( #HQMI ) and it is #Free . Makes sense Zearn continues to advance. Shalinee Sharma youtube.com/watch?v=WgYo6J…

Posted are 40 Morning Meeting questions with a spring theme. Download for free from justtwoteachers.com/engagement-wel…

Great to see Zearn advance in March Mathness. Who would root against a #free math resource that highlights the importance of conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. Moreover, it is aligned to the standards and available for grades kinder through 8th.

Posted worksheets that integrate reading standards with content standards. E.g., a worksheet that takes the states of matter, a science standard, and has students writing similes, a reading standard. Download this and others like it from justtwoteachers.com/extra-practice/ #TwoThingsAtOnce

Keeping students engaged the day before #SpringBreak can be challenging, so it is really nice to be able to take a virtual field trip to the CMA Country Music Awards via Discovery Education. Plus lots of great info about #STEM careers. Discovery EducationJenn Nevada Department of Education Washoe Schools

Thank you Washoe Schools for visiting and filming my students. Some of the footage will be used for the April 19th N-NV Social Studies conference, so my #5thGrade students can explain how we implement the work of Chase Young and Tim Rasinski.

I'm hoping to see Zearn advance in Collaborative for Student Success' March MATHness. Who doesn't like a #free online math program that nurtures conceptual understanding and actually teaches, instead of just having K-8 students practicing with algorithms. youtube.com/watch?v=IYfQcp…

Why not leverage the academic prowess of the Octonauts to reinforce understanding of area and perimeter, while incorporating questions aligned with the Smarter Balanced assessment? #TwoThingsAtOnce Download from justtwoteachers.com/skill-of-the-w…

Want kids fully engaged in state test preparation? I got it by showing a video from YouTubers Jolly with questions matched to the Smarter Balanced question stems. #5thGrade  Download the questions and find the video link at justtwoteachers.com/state-testing/
