A great read for my math friends. "Analyzing worked examples" is something I'd love to try more often with students to support fluency building @SuttonAllard
I have teamed up with @JohnSanGiovanni to Focus on Fluency. Check out this blog: Math Fluency Practice is not a Worksheet!  | Corwin Connect corwin-connect.com/2021/03/m…

Our @NASAPersevere rover will search for signs of ancient microbial life on Mars. But where are the best places to look? What instruments will it use, & how will @NASAAstrobio experts assess any evidence? Dive into the science as we #CountdownToMars: go.nasa.gov/3pxnqMZ

3rd gr. Ts, what value could using wildlife webcams add to your Ss learning during the structures in nature unit? I spent a few mins observing this beautiful bald eagle in FL. this morning. I compared to this osprey nest in ME. Spanish moss vs. snow, predator-prey, adaptations...

Watch him give the wrong answer and then work his way to 42. I find that giving students time to work out their own reasoning is so valuable. Take a look. listeningtolearn.com

If students don't know a most missed fact like 6 x 7, what is your favorite relationship to nudge them toward? I like 3 x 7, doubled. Many sts know 3 x 7 and everyone can double 21. What's yours? #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #HSmathchat

Hey 3rd grade Ts! Your students can make discoveries about relationships between populations and communities using the Parts of Ecosystems exploration in @DiscoveryEd techbook. They can even gather and display data as evidence of relationships #DENlove #datascience

So impressed by Zymoni! I’m sure @NASA can use your brilliant idea for a greenhouse on the lunar habitat. Thanks @MissKeltner for empowering your learners with creative learning experiences like this!
As the students said, OMG! Zymoni is famous! She absolutely is! Thanks @WTKR3 for shining the spotlight on our amazing classroom and school @bfw_elem @MsLRiley @IrishPrincipal1 @MsDurio @RyanFoster25
