Good teaching can look many different ways. I think it is vital for teachers to focus on more than standards and content, but also on how to bring positivity into your classroom and into your students' lives. Kindness is key! #dsumath Kevin Smith

Math manipulatives are so important in a classroom. I love these manipulative for fractions because students can see exactly how fractions can be broken down. They are perfect to be hands-on yet educational. Kevin Smith #dsumath

In my social studies course with Dr. Jennifer Nash we learned the importance of the 6 Proven Practices for Effective Civic Learning. Here is a link to my near-pod over the fourth proven practice! app.nearpod.com/?pin=5278CB0F4… #eled360 DSU College of ED

Special day for second graders in Watertown!! We were lucky enough to meet Dennis Warner singer/author of Beads on One String! Go to the Goss to check out these special beads displayed!

Second grade had a couple visitors today!! The Great Plains (traveling) Zoo taught us a lot about animals habitats and how they survive.

Congratulations, Abby!!!

Beyond blessed to have such amazing educators to look up to throughout my first job as a teacher!! Congrats Abby!

Standardized tests have no place in elementary education. Because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away the fun and excitement of learning, playing, exploring, & creating. We create test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.
