@MooreofMsMartin Friends are people I confide in and hang out with. My students are just that. Students. It doesn't stop me from building a relationship with them but they are def not my friends. I teach 5th and believe it can blur the lines.

Thanks @Kirkland_edu! They really had a good time making the big one on the floor!

[Joey Kirkland M. Ed @Kirkland_edu]

@AstridNovak class was comparing the Sun, Earth, and Moon using a triple Venn Diagram. The students were building this large example together while also completing it in their notebooks. Triple Venn Diagrams are a tough concept for our students, but Mrs. Novak made it memorable!

When you have newcomers that have not had experience with base-10 blocks, you use TSGI time to hit it hard!
