Hi #3rdchat. Joining extremely late... A7: I am a huge fan of Each Kindness by Jaqueline Woodson and my new favorite is If Plant a Seed

This is one of my favorite green screen projects! 4th graders used the green screen magic to report from inside their dioramas. They researched, rehearsed, built the diorama, filmed in the green studio & edited their videos using DoInk Tweets. #gslearning CG

Hello #3rdchat. Ingrid from Portland, OR. I love math stations but want to find new ways to make them meaningful.

A1: Being able to quickly assess learning in the moment and identify those kids that need extra support. Stations give kids multiple means to work with a concept rather than just out of the book. #3rdchat

A2: They are currently very structured. Four distinct rounds with a job or activity to complete within a given time period. I want to move away from this to more choice oriented. #3rdchat

A5: I love to use Magic of Math for the hands on activities. I generally post one question to Seesaw and have students explain in depth how they solved the problem. #3rdchat

Anyone want to #mysteryskype with a 3rd grade class from Portland OR this month or next?
