Today we took flight with our first, grade level specific PD and planning session! WooHoo 🎉So excited to work with these amazing educators! 🐝💜#takeflight

Day #2 of planning with teachers. Established planning and classroom expectations to get the year started off right. Also realized first hand the importance of choosing the right words and asking the right questions. #stopguessingwhatsinmyhead #takeflight

Our first graders are using balances to visual quantities and find missing addends. Great discovery and discussion.

Today our hornets explored the magnitude of numbers together as a class. #TakeFlight 🐝

Never underestimate the power of a data conference. You can’t improve unless you know where you stand. Improvement is seldom a random effect. #TakeFlight

This group of 5th graders made it a SwEeT StArT to the NeW YeAr ! Great job for keeping the MATH going over the winter break 💜🐝. #TakeFlight B.T. Washington

Result, change, and start unknown...oh my! In first grade planning we created CRA models for each of the problem types. Knowing what to look for helps us to guide student learning. B.T. Washington

Ready to build a MILLION at STEMposium.

Today we drew on data to guide student learning, reflect on teaching, and celebrate both student and teacher successes. I 💜 my job! 🐝 B.T. Washington

There is no better way to understand fraction equivalents than making your own fraction strips and discoveries. Fractions this week will certainly be a WHOLE lot of fun! B.T. Washington

Friday’s were made for fishbowls. Observing, confirming, and learning new strategies was a great way to end the week.🐝💜 #WeRfamily

There is always TIME for math....even on the way back from the restroom. Found these mathematicians talking about what they see and how they solved it. Sometimes great learning and thinking can happen outside of the classroom. 🕚🐝💜#WeRfamily

Creating fraction art for Mother’s Day because we love our Moms a WHOLE lot.
