Natural Selection lesson— but let’s make it delicious with @Skittles! A little different environment compared to the Galápagos Islands but we’ll take it. #8thgradeScience#naturalselection#labs
Jumped into curriculum this week by creating and orchestrating our own Scientific Investigations. I love watching students’ creativity and the way they collaborate with each other! #leadersoftomorrow#beLOVEland#LMS#tigerup
My 6th year of teaching is off to a fantastic start!! Thankful to have the opportunity to teach such inspiring and hardworking kiddos with my incredibly dedicated colleagues. It’s going to be a great year! #beLOVEland#tigerup#LMS
One of my favorite labs each year, Darwin’s Finch Beak Lab, which seeks to model Natural Selection.🦒🐘 Thankful for sanitizing spray, masks & after-lab hand washing allowing us to somewhat get back to “hands on” learning during this crazy year! #8thgradescience#safelabs
Grateful MINT PTSA can support our teachers and enhance our children's learning experience through the Teacher Grants. @PTSAMembershipatwork @LovelandTigers
Caught a student using an extension called Page Marker on her Unit 3 Summative Test to cross out answers as she uses them. Love when students find ways to incorporate technology tools to their benefit!! 👍🏼 #resilientstudents#creativity#proudteachermoment
Wrapping up Week 1 of the 2020-2021 school year at LMS and Week 1 of my 5th year teaching!! Lots of changes but happy to see my amazing 7th & 8th graders in person! #MaskUp#LMSTigers
Spent the week learning about the new health and safety guidelines, collaborating with colleagues and getting ready for classes to begin on the 31st!! #MaskUp#LetsGetThisYearStarted
The 2020-2021 school year is undoubtedly going to look VERY different this year but I’m ready to tackle any & every challenge if it means that I get to see students in these seats! #MaskUp#LMS
Currently experiencing MANY mixed emotions. While I am glad my students will be safe and protected, I am overwhelmingly saddened that I will not see them again this school year 😥 Continuing to pray for a resolution to COVID-19 and every person around the world. #TigerStrong
Today our 7th grade ELA department collaborated like CHAMPS via Google Hangouts. I’m so proud to work with such amazing colleagues and thankful for their positivity during this historic time. Together, we will get through this because we are #bettertogether 🧡
It’s always a great start to the week when you see students getting organized so that they are ready to tackle what is ahead! 👍🏼#ProudTeacher#LovelandTigers#8thgradeScience https://t.co/Zg0NOP0o2h
Had a great #labday yesterday!! Students used pennies to model/ calculate radioactive decay! I love this concrete & straight forward way to model such an abstract concept! Students did a fabulous job! 👍 #8thgradeScience#TigerNation
Today students modeled different types of weathering with chalk. They recorded observations and the difference in mass to compare the effects. Looking forward to continuing this topic Monday with Karst Topography and making caves! #8thgradeScience#EarthScience#WeatheringLab
Today students spent time building their bridge isolation models after spending yesterday brainstorming and designing. It was so fun to listen and watch as students discussed ways to improve/modify designs based on trial data! Definitely a proud teacher moment. #8thgradeScience
