After a year of one to one teaching I am so happy to be back in the classroom and even happier to be working in this amazing school with this awesome group of kids! The Brandeis School

Before we dive into Writer’s Workshop we make our writing notebooks our own by making the covers into Me Collages inspired by the book “Judy Moody is in a Mood.” #sfbrandeis The Brandeis School

Just a few photos from our first trip to the school library. It’s been a long time since these kids could just chill and read together. #sfbrandeis The Brandeis School

On Monday we took a short walk to Lake Merced to symbolically throw our regrets from the past year into the water and watch them flow away in the form of leaves and sticks. It’s exciting to learn more about these traditions as a member of the The Brandeis School community!

4th graders have been getting to know themselves as writers while building classroom community. They are telling each other stories about their lives and giving one another feedback on their storytelling skills. #4thgradewriters The Brandeis School

Last week my class worked in small groups to make posters to teach their classmates about maps. It seemed like a pretty underwhelming task, but after over a year of online/socially distanced learning it was clear how much they missed it. Group work is back! The Brandeis School

Before you ever teach an algorithm or shortcuts, you have to teach the concept. Base 10 blocks are great for visualizing what division actually means. The algorithm is just a record of our steps. That comes last! #issedu #thisisDAIS #DAIS5grows

For teachers, it's getting harder and harder to unplug. Research shows that "pervasive connectivity" can take a toll on your mental and physical health—and that's amplified for teachers. Here are some ideas on how to set better boundaries.

Look at every kid's bar model! Knowing how to represent equal groups – especially when there are too many to draw – or when the number of groups is unknown and we don't know how many to draw – is really important. These kids now have that skill. Quotative division is next!

The NRA has fooled a large section of the country into thinking that gun ownership is connected to “freedom.” Want to know what real freedom is? Being able to send your kids to school WITHOUT the existential fear they will be murdered by an assault weapon.

I was just watching the intro to Season 14 of Orange County HW on Hulu and the closed captions do not match the actual words being spoken. What’s up with that?! The Deaf and Hard of Hearing community deserve correct closed captions, amiright?
