Humor And Animals Amazing what animals, and young children, can invent for themselves when left to their own devises. I don’t see a ‘teacher’, in the widest sense, anywhere here.

This is the America I know. x.com/juliocesrchave…

Such a beautifully written book about accepting who we are and how different our life could be in other circumstances. No matter how difficult our circumstances may be, we all have the power to rewrite our story.

To me, this quotation by Holt, resonates with Gattegno’s “subordination of teaching to learning”.

I added these interactive pieces to my anchor chart. Lots of Aha’s from Ss once they took turns moving them around. Angie Birk Ashley Petersen

Exploring place value with Cuisenaire rods 😍! Is 300 really 100x bigger than 3? We did 2 and 200 as well. Angie Birk Ashley Petersen #cuisenairerods

Exploring subtraction with #cuisenairerods. What is the difference between these 2 rods? Angie Birk

I’m in a 3rd grade class today & Ss start each day by writing as many equations as they can for the # of the day. I remember reading something similar in @TracyZager’s book. Here T (or today, me) highlights a few that class looks at & discusses together.

Making squares with Cuisenaire rods S - mine looks like a rectangle, I used the same rod!? T - well, what do you remember about measuring a square S - you mean like perimeter, like the perimeter of a square T - yes S - (adjusted the rods) the sides are now 11, I guess that’s ok

Vargas - ALL CLEAR. With me - Billy my dog. Missing - Robert, Roberto, Carlos, and Isabella. 😉 #BestFireDrillEver #JWEpride #JWE20thBeTheChange
