LED constellation circuit project with grade 6! We used LEDs, copper tape, and pill batteries. The students worked hard and it paid off! #makers #brilliant #STEMeducation

How would you count the apples?

Here are some samples of student work! #calculus #iteachmath #mathart

We shouldn’t punish children for being children. If they sit in desks too long, don’t be surprised if they get fidgety/ talkative. Yes, there’s a time & place for quiet, but we need more time & places for them to play, move, socialize & be children That's how they naturally learn

Ummm...so one of my students made "The Starry Night" with conditional formatting in Google Sheets! One of the coolest designs I have ever seen!🤯✨ The Cobblestone Collective Michelle Armstrong Tony Vincent Google for Education Sandy Currie Emily Fitzpatrick Darren Maltais Jen Giffen (She/Her) Charity Helman

What if we took the time to help students who feel unsuccessful, lack confidence, or defeated find one strength to focus on and develop? That's not just growth mindset, but can be life changing!

Remember Plickers???

If students leave school without: 1) knowing their talents 2) finding their passions 3) a sense of purpose 4) confidence experienced from success 5) willing to take risks or fail because of success/ confidence then we have failed them.

What an awesome classroom!!

Every superintendent and school board member should read this article. A decade of toughening teacher evaluations and tying it to standardized tests have shown no positive impact on student learning. It has only decreased morale. Stop the madness. edweek.org/teaching-learn…

Trying to create a Google form PD sign up. We need to limit participants to 40. Can't get choice limiter to work. Any help??? #CUE2022 Alice Keeler

There is overwhelming research showing homework does little to improve achievement, especially in early years, and can actually have negative effects. Recess however has many positive effects such as improved self regulation of emotions, improved interpersonal skills and focus!

Teachers, want to take something off your plate? Put HW in the trash. Especially for elementary, let students go home, run, play, and enjoy being a child. And read a little after playing. Then they come to school recharged instead of stressed out and you will too!

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

This! 💯
