@TylerMoffett Did crawling under a ladder bring bad luck? The people want to know.

@TylerMoffett I knew I married a model.

Engaging extension activities are TOUGH at the end of the year. Finding activities that keep students moving and mentally engaged is a WIN! We are loving these word puzzles for early finishers. Plus.... Winners get a PrIzE! 🎉 #patriotstrong

Choose your own adventure for STAAR review! Early finishers get to pick their review tasks - informational text summaries or informational text inferences. Students LOVE choice! #PatriotStrong

Teamwork is trying to outsmart your friends during an alphabet challenge! We all have a list of new food restaurants to try! #PatriotStrong #teamworkpearson

@MrsHigginsAP A7: since some kids are feeling stressed about the future so I asked: What’s the most EXCITING thing about the future? (dream big) #teachingoptimism #PearsonInnovators

Who’s got the brains? ILA went elementary style and split classes between teachers for I&E. My group extending their inference skills and completed an inferencing breakout to determine which zombie stole the brains... the debates were intense. #Patriotstrong

Following up on some reading! Innovator’s mindset has pushed me to think outside the box during lessons. I liked focusing on kids strengths this week and having them give encouragement to their peers during peer revise and editing #innovatorsmindset #Booksnap

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

@MrsHigginsAP I love to give students options when showing their knowledge — flow charts, pictures, essays. As an English teacher this gives different types of thinkers an opportunity to show off their skills! It gives them ownership in their learning too! #pearsoninnovators

When it’s 75 in February, we read aloud to our peers (in silly voices of course) to build deeper understanding of the plot and characters. #ThingsNotSeen #PearsonMS

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

@GraceBeisel Love this! I’ll join you in prayer and know the Lord is doing an amazing work through you.

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

@MrsHigginsAP A5: I am passionate about getting up before the sunrise to read and run! It changes my whole day for the better #pearsoninnovators

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

@MrsHigginsAP A4: network: reach out to build new ideas for content and curriculum. Doing the same thing is boring for students while changing it up is exhausting for teachers. Using a network I can ease the burden “coming up” with something by diggin deep in my community #pearsoninnovators

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

@MrsHigginsAP A2: Students will naturally see the connection between content and their lives as we evaluate characterization. They will be able to analyze their own interactions with others and evaluate their change! Updates to come! #pearsoninnovators #makeitreal

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

@MrsHigginsAP A1: My ideal classroom/school/learning environment is full of risk takers who are not interested in my approval rather their own discoveries. The students feel confident and inspired to dig deep in the learning process rather than seek approval.

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

@MrsHigginsAP A3: I don't let my students ask if work is "good enough." They should strive for excellence not merely being "good" #pearsoninnovators

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

@shilson_jana We love SSR! We turn the projector into a fireplace and pretend we are sitting in our living room reading! I also give them the freedom to move around the room.. after all, living rooms don’t have desks #pearsonmsilachat

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

8th grade English and Language Arts at @FISD_PearsonMS is teaching students to blog while they do research for the purpose of pursuading. Any advice, insight, or examples of student blogs? #EdTech #DesignThinking #ELAR

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

@MadisonPresenza @duolingo They love @duolingo. I wish there was more like it!

[Jen Moffett @JenMoffett]

I have newcomer 8th grade ESL students who are hungry to learn English. Does anyone know of fun apps or games to suggest as they learn English? #edtech #ESL #edtech #pearsonmsilachat #pearsonbadges #patriotstrong
