It's been a pretty spectacular start to the school year. My Ss are ENGAGED and I'm loving their curiosity. I'm thankful for Fall Break to recharge, because here at @ELM_HCS we are #performanceoverparticipation. EAGLE MENTALITY๐ฆ ๐๐

Year 5!! It's been a whirlwind and adventure of building relationships and striving for growth! Attached is my Amazon Wishlist to help support and replenish classroom needs and materials. I appreciate ANY support and donations!

As a math teacher I LOVE @Desmos . Sometimes my students need something more concrete. I used our virtual demos card sort and created a hands on version. Ss worked collaboratively to define and apply equations. @Dr_Douglas_ELMS @Math_HCS@mjharada5
My Accelerated Ss are learning about angles. I created this real-world activity for them to visual angles in everyday things! I can't wait to see the rest! @Math_HCS @Dr_Douglas_ELMS @mjharada5
2024 Teacher Goal...focus on the "we do" and the "you do". Student growth comes from opportunity to INTENTIONALLY PRACTICE, not listen to a lecture.

Meet, Bunny! I've wanted a classpet since my first year teaching. I think the value of loving and caring for a classpet is huge for students that need emotional support.
I can't wait to introduce him to everyone. ๐๐๐
As many return back to school, here's a reminder to put:
Relationships before rigor
Grace before grades
Kindness before content
Patience before punishment
Bonds before books
Compassion before compliance
Meaning before mandates.
Education is about people first after all.
2023-2024, let's GO! Back HOME at #ELMS, same grade, and a new group of eager learners. If you feel compelled, please help support my classroom and students as we engage in this year's work! ๐๐งฎ๐ซ

How are you getting Ss' #math minds grooving at the beginning of the year?

ALT Photo of a paper titled "Figure me out!" There are math problems surrounding the drawing of a face โ but the math problems are accompanied with facts about the face, such as "The number of letters in my whole name = 10 9" or "The number of books I read this summer = 6 3"

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. This is more important now than ever!
