One thing I appreciate about my job?? Easy! My colleagues. I work with the best of the best! #12DaysTwitter Frankfurt Int School

When I’m feeling overwhelmed and stressed at work I use deep breathing and gratitude to calm myself and bring me back to what’s really important! A calm classroom setting is also helpful. #12DaysTwitter Frankfurt Int School

Behind a day. It’s a busy time of year. Day 4 - Someone that lifts me up at work, or better yet, the someones. These amazing, small humans. I have the most wonderful group of students. We have so much fun every day! #12DaysTwitter Frankfurt Int School

Day 5 of #12DaysTwitter - The Responsive Classroom has transformed how I structure my day. Setting the classroom culture and ensuring student wellbeing has taken priority and it is so important during this time! Thanks to @Barbara_Paras for introducing me. Frankfurt Int School

Day 6 #12DaysTwitter - Today in math we did a #time #estimation activity. Watching the students time each other doing various activities such as jumping jacks gave me quite a giggle. They were quite excited when their estimates were close. Frankfurt Int School

Day 7 of #12DaysTwitter. Today I joined my class for their #PE lesson. We played “Knock the Pins Down” What fun we had! But I definitely realized my high intensity cardio is not what it used to be 😬🥵Frankfurt Int School

Kicking off our #literacy celebration with an assembly and snowball fight! Frankfurt Int School elementary Ss are super excited for the snowball slam reading competition!

Ss were transported to far away lands yesterday with Clive PiG! It was such a treat to listen to his stories and see the joy on the students faces! Frankfurt Int School

Ss were archaeologists today as they prepared their plots and carefully excavated their findings. #archaeology #artifacts #curatinghistory #past Frankfurt Int School

Today the Ss were in the ‘lab’ sorting and cleaning their finds from yesterday’s archaeology dig! “I feel like a real archaeologist.” #history #archaeology #artifacts Frankfurt Int School

Step three in our #Archaeology inquiry: fitting the pieces together. Ss were so excited to discover that the pieces they found were part of a greater whole. #history #artifacts Frankfurt Int School

The final step in our #archaeology project: Curate your find! The Ss designed displays and created stories about what they pieces together! Frankfurt Int School #history #curations

The final curations! #curatinghistory #Archaeology #past Frankfurt Int School

Ss used what they learned about #archaeology and #artifacts to try to solve the mystery of Ötzi the Iceman. They did an excellent job of analyzing the evidence and coming up with theories as to who this man was and how he died. Frankfurt Int School
