@stuartablon @melrobbins @ThinkKids Haven’t found the words yet to share the gratitude I have for all of this! I have a huge passion for supporting all areas of student behavior. As an educator and aspiring administrator, I have been using this in my classroom. I would be overjoyed to share it with you @ThinkKids

Thank you @pauldixtweets and @BreneBrown for the inspiration! My class is brave, we choose our hard, love getting uncomfortable, and we are practicing our values all the while getting “tagged” with specific feedback!

So important for Gr K & 1 kids to subitize numbers to 100. Start with ten frames, then progress to Base 10 blocks and discs. Kids should not be using their fingers to count. Why? There are far better ways to develop Base 10 thinking, important grouping skills, and number sense!

@shaneparrish thank you for this wisdom. Thank you for providing the mechanisms to practice, enforce, and recognize so we can create space to learn not to react. Don’t be surprised if you see me carrying this around as I will read it again and again. Brilliant and life changing!

@DaileySuzanne @rechargedfamily Oh, signing up now! ❤️🙌

[Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom @DrP_Principal]

When I was a building principal, we had a group of boys who were consistently getting office referrals during lunch for aggressive and disruptive behaviors. In the past, these behaviors had led to increasingly severe consequences that did not reduce the negative behaviors (and caused some students to be sent home and to miss instruction). I sat down with the group and we worked together to come up with a plan on what to do during lunch. One of the boys asked if we could start a knitting club, since his Auntie had recently taught him how to knit. Since he was a leader of the group, the other boys agreed. I asked them to come back tomorrow with some ideas of what to knit. The next day one of the boys said that he wanted to knit little hats for the preemies at the hospital, since his little cousin was there and that a nurse mentioned that they had run out of the little hats. The boys knitted daily and we delivered the hats to the hospital. We received many heartfelt thank you notes from families, nurses and doctors (and even an in-person visit with a personal thank you and cookies from a newborn's mom). This group continued to grow as did our ability to create knitted hats for preemies. This became a huge success for the participating students. There was significant improvement in the students’ behavior, attitude, achievement, and attendance. It is so important to think outside of the box for “win-win” solutions. It really isn’t the WHAT you do that is important, it is the WHY you are doing it! Our knitting group become a team, family, and community.

Here's a fun & effective worksheet for your K-1 kids. Do kids practice counting backward enough? Don't think so. Makes subtracting that much harder! Can you see what other skills I'm trying to work in at the same time? Our K curriculum is looking good!

[Tricia @CBtmfoster]

I cannot wait to read, share and gift to others, and elevate my own work each day! We are so proud of you @DaileySuzanne. ❤️❤️

[Tricia @CBtmfoster]

Yes! Great number sense routine.

[Berkeley Everett @BerkeleyEverett]

For those of you working on addition within 20, here's a Number Sense Routine to try:

Ask "What is the same? What is different?" and chart/annotate everything kids say.

[Tricia @CBtmfoster]

Making number pairs to 10 is a meaningful skill in building number sense and number flexibility. This kindergarten class @CBPineRunElem made valuable connections from their consistent calendar routines to our @MIF4Educators lesson. Specific math vocabulary topped it all off!

So proud of my girl sharing one of her original songs. So much talent @CBHolicongMS tonight- world get ready!

@cbjjaffe Oh, that’s right! “Musical Chair Magic” will couple with some dynamic technology utilizing the ClearTouch this week! I am so excited to teach together with the magnificent @cb_ceife to enhance student learning in that grade 1 MIF lesson! 🙌🎶🪑➕➖
