Students shared their thoughts, organized & consolidated ideas, and collaborated beautifully to determine our class family values. Chalk talks & thinking routines are such a powerful way for students to engage and take ownership of their learning! #eusdtweets
Day 1 of #CAASPP Testing. 🔥 Let’s gooo! They should add this to the proctor instructions: “this test doesn’t define your worth. You are more than a test score. You are…” @eusdtweets
In a recent survey, we discovered that our class is into video games (surprise, surprise)! What better way to dive into opinion writing than use an area of great interest? Bet you can guess which side most are taking! Now to find research to back up their opinion.. #eusdtweets
Ss thought it was just a fun doodle break, but were surprised after our chalk talk gathering thoughts on society’s gender expectations— they looked back and realized some gender biases they may subconsciously perpetuate! #bethechange#genderbias#eusdtweets

Do you recognize these animals? They’re California state symbols! These young authors wrote brilliant informational pieces based on their research, and followed up with these gorgeous watercolor-resist masterpieces! #eusdtweets
Couldn’t be more proud of my students as they persevered on their challenging assessments this week. When they asked for paper clips to hang up their graphic organizers as they typed their writing, I almost teared up! 😭♥️ #proudteacher#eusdtweets
Ss got great feedback from their peers. They are SO excited to plan and try out some ideas: student-led lunch clubs, announcements, posters, galore! We want to make a difference, even with just 6 weeks left in this amazing school year. ♥️ #eusdtweets
Now that we’ve defined the problem(s), it’s time to ideate! There are no wrong or bad ideas when we’re generating potential solutions. Tomorrow, we’ll share and get some feedback before prototyping & putting our plans into action! #designthinking#eusdtweets
Sometimes, we need to take the time in our full days to address real student social/emotional challenges! Today we started a #designthinking project to dig deeper in awareness & in problem solving. We always start with empathy and hear each other out ♥️ #eusdtweets
Farm Lab Day 2: Ss asked purposeful questions to a field expert, took notes, then got to building! It took multiple ideations and much perseverance, but all groups got their wind turbines to spin… and many were able to light up their 💡bulbs!#eusdtweets
