D9 - My students are recreating Jolly Postman books in writing & they LOVE it! We incorporate interactive writing for this project & it helps them stay engaged. I always take pics with their faces not looking or use cute stickers to protect privacy

D8 - My favorite website to use with my students for research is Ducksters. It has grade level appropriate reading and I know it has all the information they need for their projects. It is also a great review on how to read informational texts.

D7 - I am inspired by @nikkipa79738108 to start Morning Meeting when we return from break. She has said it such a game changer in her classroom for getting to know her students & making it fun & educational at the same time!

D6 - 2nd grade We the digital citizens lesson could be a good way to review citizenship & making good choices- even online!
In my room, using QR codes are a fun way for my students to use preapproved sites!

My resolution is to use Google Classroom during the 2nd semester with my students to allow them more practice on the Chromebooks & more engaging and meaningful writing/research. #FMSD12days

#FMSD12Days Science experiments always gets this reaction..

#FMSD12days epic fail in kindergarten. Don’t try to make things for the first time with 5 year olds, even if you follow a recipe 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[Ashley Swanda @A_swanda]

My students want to #savefrosty by using ice packs, a fan, dry ice, an igloo and snowballs. Our frosty is headed to learn by going to @RVESRockets ! So much fun hearing their answers! #FMSD12days

[Ashley Swanda @A_swanda]

My students love using kahoot to review science/s. Studies content because it’s interactive and they can make up their own nickname. They also love using the apps epic because it has more of a variety of books & pebble go for research because it can read it to them. #FMSD12Days

#twitterless heather Dwyer in 3rd grade uses chromebooks for her work on writing time & social studies research. This week her students created selfie Elfies & wrote if they were an elf or Santa! I love getting ideas from her and seeing my old students work so hard! #FMSD12DAYS

[Ashley Swanda @A_swanda]

My #FM21STEAM list would be to have a STEAM lab leader as related arts to help teachers with ideas & allow students more time for steam! Also 10 chromebooks to go with our iPads would be awesome! #FMSD12DAYS
