Look at these Lagrange learners sharpening their literacy skills! They can break words into sound parts, blend sounds into words & put all of these skills to use as sentence writers! @googlemaps brings our vocabulary to life! #victoryintheclassroom. #teamoldham

Exciting news! TRL's updated Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines now have a scientifically-based reference section to substantiate the red flags and aligned practices. There's also a reviewer WORKBOOK available. Download both today at https://t.co/I0pp4mQn4N

@oliviakrauth I also have a foam ball that holds a mic inside & connects to the class sound system. It is tossed gently from one student to another during class discussions. Very engaging! My kids liked to sit it in their lap when they read their writing. We could actually hear our authors!

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

@oliviakrauth I've been using one for a few years now in OC. Very helpful! Cuts down on vocal strain. I didn't realize the difference until I got to use it. Big bonus is that my voice comes though the ceiling speakers & every kid in the room can hear it equally regardless of where their seat.

@erod129 I love @Classkick and @nearpod for this reason! Both offer this and are great with a wide age range.

The results are in! These Lagrange Elementary 1st graders flexed digital & real life citizenship skills while naming our class caterpillar. Groups shared ideas, nominations were made & votes were cast using @nearpod polls. World, meet Hearty Ghostie Marx! #teamoldham

@OldhamCoSchools So proud of my 1st grade friends and their efforts as digital citizens today!

Mrs. Abbott’s and Marx LaGrange Leopard’s got to practice signing into their Chromebooks for the first time this morning! Thank you to the staff for your support! #TeamOldham @AndieMarx

@LaurenRataj3 @GoogleForEdu @KentuckyDLC Congratulations, that's fantastic!

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

@LaurenRataj3 @KentuckyDLC @gegkentucky This is awesome news!

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

If 1st graders ask to visit the splendid sights in their true story, have no fear! @nearpod had Central Park & the adventures of Pale Male as told by @meghanauthor at our fingertips. At the ⛵ pond, these @LaGrangeElem kiddos zoomed their way right to the nest! #teamoldham

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

@LaurenRataj3 @LaGrangeElem @GoogleForEdu They were all so intrigued at the visual difference between a short and a long vowel! Of course, then we had to go around the room and say everyone's name just to watch that too..haha!

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

Phonemic Awareness with a techie twist! These @LaGrangeElem Leopards got a vivid visual of their vowel sounds today using @GoogleForEdu Chrome Music Lab's Spectrogram tool which added to our schema about lights & sound in Science as well! #teamoldham #KYGoDigital

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

I'm ready to caucus with my first grade readers!

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

@LaurenRataj3 Thanks for training us on this. My teammate & I are now sharing NTI lessons so that both classes are reaping the benefits. We may try casting & teaching from Lynx on iPads for in-person math lessons so that we can teach from anywhere in the room but have visual support for all!

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

Nurturing young mathematicians during distance learning is more accessible with @myClevertouch Lynx Whiteboard! My @LaGrangeElem Leopards could work along with me in real time while we drew & checked our thinking! Thanks for the PD @LaurenRataj3! #teamoldham

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

The Grinch & Covid can't steal our holiday joy! Leo the @LaGrangeElem Leopard paid us a visit to play "Would You Rather" & there were sounds of Christmas Cheer during Holiday Riddles, Pictionary & our Grinch Read Aloud Scavenger Hunt. Love these little learners! #teamoldham

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

@nearpod I plan to use Nearpod to increase student engagement during literacy by adding polls, collaborate boards and draw it slides!

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

These @LaGrangeElem 1st grade scholars sharpened their math skills by finding missing addends in their small group @GoogleForEdu meets while using @BoomLearning cards. Lots of stellar participation by these little leopard NTI champs! #teamoldham

[Andie Marx @AndieMarx]

@CaraCaudill Splendid news, way to go Cara!
