Find the silver lining. Amongst all this educational upheaval, @MathEdLeaders offered FREE access to their national conference through online learning. Great learning happening today!
This is my 2nd grade daughter, Rosalie. I gave her 24 chex and asked her if she could make rectangles to show multiplication facts. Below is her answer to “How do you know 9 isn’t a factor of 24?” This was after a 2 hour bike ride. #MorePlayLessWorksheets
Bio teachers developed a fun way to introduce variation/genetics. A baby shower. How can so many different looking siblings come from the same two parents? #JHSculture#Johnstonlearns
These Dragons have great work ethic! Helping each other fogure out how to predict quantities when given a scatter plot showing correlation. #Johnstonlearns#EL#MathDiscourse
Our Science Ts do a great job of making the content come to life with manipulatives that serve as analogies. Dedication and lots of prep time to make it happen! @sarakatehowe#johnstonlearns
Ss using their funds of knowledge via their native language to build vocabulary understanding by categorizing prompts relating to measures of central tendency. #SMP#EL#Johnstonlearns
Nice to see all of the valuable and essential frameworks/concepts in one place. Too much focus on one aspect/book/concept could be a potential pitfal. I appreciate how this blog addresses both technical/social-emotional/situational components. As always, thank you @jimknight99
In today's blog, I tried to sum up 20 years of research on effective coaching in one column 🙄. There are a lot of coaching tools you can grab here too: instructionalcoaching.com/se…
Ss in EspanolTres working on sharing insights from famous artists. Ss chose 2 of the 4 they learned about to highlight. Then Ss will use @Flipgrid to comment on others, finally authors will comment on critics agreeing or disagreeing. Nice comprehensible input! #johnstonlearns
Johnston has some great EL teachers. Here is a S/o to @MrsK3nny. She had her students categorizing summary statements from a reading summarizing a current event! Some interesting discussion ensued.
Ss in Ms. Probst’s class practicing precise language. Pictionary is a great strategy, high engagement and shows the need for common understanding in math language. Kids were into it on Friday! @JCSD_MathClub#JohnstonLearns
Thanks to @JArthur_InCoach and @augz23 for the coaching around my first attempt at a learning map for my data unit. @jimknight99 Impact Cycle was the inspiration! Helpful to see other examples and force me to explain my process/thinking! #JohnstonLearns
