Our math rounding lesson w/ the students Osborne Elementary School ! As I have always been a kinesthetic learner, I tried to incorporate that into my lesson. We started w/ place value exercises, then used the large number line to assist us in rounding, & ended with a rounding scavenger hunt!

Sparking ideas for personal narrative writing by experimenting with materials to use for building our core memory designs. Exploring properties, combinations, & compositions to help us represent key experiences & the impacts on our lives. Osborne Elementary School Agency by Design Miss Rind

How do our core memory experiences change us as an individual? Today the students began creating their core memory through art. Some students used materials to represent emotions, while others used them to represent a visual picture. Osborne Elementary School Erik Lindemann Agency by Design

What clues are helping us understand key character traits & an author’s lesson? Miss Rind models close reading to make claims with evidence & connections to messages:“Listen close with your heart”,“Stand for what’s right or you might miss something important”Osborne Elementary School

Today we dug a little deeper into our story, "Destiny's Gift". How do character traits play a role in the author's message? What if we described our characters with antonyms of the character traits we chose? How would this change the message?

The most heart-warming things to hear are when students say they are grateful to have 2 teachers! 🥰 I am so grateful to be student teaching at Osborne Elementary School learning and teaching alongside Erik Lindemann

We created our BIG PICTURE chalk talk today. We put together the main messages, connections, and character traits from not 1, but 5 reading texts during our Chalk Talk. So proud of our 3rd graders at Osborne Elementary School Erik Lindemann

This is truth! 🙌

How did Puerto Rico influence Roberto Clemente? Or what impact did his legacy have on Puerto Rico and Central America? How does our culture shape our own identity? Erik Lindemann

“If we regularly make our students’ thinking & learning visible;then we will demonstrate the value of learning, gain useful formative assessment data & engage students as active agents in their own learning.” #culturesofthinkinginaction Capturing reading comprehension process

Only just the beginning of constructing our bridges as a metaphor for Roberto Clemente's legacy. 🌁 Erik Lindemann Osborne Elementary School

Lots of trial and error today between constructing our own anemometers and exploring fraction circles. What can we learn from our errors and previous guesses? How does this improve our thinking for our final product? #trialanderror

Our 3rd Graders had some big ideas about nonfiction texts. Partners took apart article, found how text & graphic features aid comprehension, & looked for an overall text structure and message. Lean into “messy” authentic learning! Erik Lindemann Osborne Elementary School #culturesofthinking

Student-led discussion? I think Yes! How can we switch up the roles of who leads the classroom to enhance our students' understanding and allow them to be in control of their own education? Osborne Elementary School Erik Lindemann

Today I taught the kids about a piece of my cultural roots - the Blackfoot tribe. Students then created a large dreamcatcher and labeled the parts and purposes. I loved being able to share a piece of my culture with the kids 💜 Osborne Elementary School Erik Lindemann
