I have based our Earth Club activities around the 5 R's. #refuse #reduce #reuse #repurpose #recycle This week our activity was to repurpose toilet paper rolls. I based it around an age-old kid problem. "I'm bored". Solution? Make a marble run with toilet paper rolls.

"Teachers, we hold an immense amount of power and it is our responsibility to teach our students about how to protect the environment. I have come to find that what you do matters, much more than what you say. They are watching." #earthmamasinternational earthmamasinternational.com/10-things-you-…

Yes, please!

Happy Sunday! Here's a fun Pictarithm to solve with your A.M. coffee. I use my holiday puzzles to teach very specific skills. Nothing random about my choice of numbers or operations. They're all part of a strategic and systematic progression of K-12 skills for math & science!

Teaching an Earth club online hasn't been the easiest thing but we find ways to make it fun & engaging! #Earthclub leaf rubbings. Today we made leaf rubbings on recycled paper to build the best airplanes and then figured out how to make some beautiful thank you notes!

Today we made playdough in class to kick off our fraction unit. The kids loved it. It was so much fun! I've never used playdough as a manipulative for fractions but I'm excited to try. Does anyone have any tips?

Make a model of two equivalent fractions. This simple morning meeting activity gave me so much information & the kids were so engaged. #modelsinmath

Today we created mixed number fraction images. We had everything from buildings to beaches! #mathisfun #letthemcreate #handsonmath

Here we go! #PubPDasia returns this Dec 7th! Save the date! As cities reopen we hope to be back in pubs as much as possible! Zoom will also be happening! Join more soon! #SaveTheDate #PubPDglobal

Day 2: I appreciate the teachers that I work with immensely. They make me laugh on the hardest of days, bring me joy, and challenge me to be a better educator. #12daystwitter

A1: As another challenging year has come and gone. We stay positive by connecting with each other and finding small wins in the hilarious things our students say and do every day. Kim Weiner (she/her) Jen Hardie #PubPDasia

A2: I'm lucky to have her just across the hall Karen Callahan (she/her) She inspires me to never stop learning, growing, and reflecting on my practice while keeping students at the center of it all. #alwayslearningandgrowing #PubPDasia

A4: The Aha moments, the giggles and the lightbulbs keep me going. I love watching kids "get it". #PubPDasia

Day 3: To keep myself centered and mindful when things get hectic, I do a lot of deep breathing! It hasn't failed me yet #12daysoftwitter

I can only say I’m working on DEIJ after I’ve looked critically at my own body of work, my own biases, and the systems I reinforce-and have fully accepted how incredibly far away I am from where I need to be headed. Until I’ve accepted that, I haven’t started or started starting.
