It all started with a student asked if I like chips. Of course I say yes. Next thing I know, as nerves for hosting the talent show build up, I receive a hand crafted bag with chips of compliments and good lucks in it. These students surely know how to put a smile on my face.
Sometimes as educators we get so caught up getting things completed that we neglect what the ss need sometimes. Instead of doing a normal brainstorm, we did a walk n’ talk to discuss what makes books good to prepare for writing reviews! @DAAElementary#activelearning
1DL engaged in a fun way to understand the importance of graphs. After tracking how high they stacked, they noticed that we couldn’t figure out who did what and there were too many numbers not in order. @DAAElementary#engagingmath#criticalthinking#data
For our How To writings, we pretended to be aliens reading their book to really challenge giving detailed steps. Great way to give feedback and for revisions! #getengaged#literacy@DAAElementary
Exploring place value by different modalities of drawings, manipulatives, and Number Pieces App. Get hands on, give choice, get ENGAGED! @DAAElementary

1DL spreading the care that our Earth deserves. They collaborated with their parents after sharing their research and personal ideas to make changes at home. Beyond proud. #wecare#takeaction#earth@DAAElementary
I love this idea for activating thinking and prior knowledge! This concept can totally be adapted for different content areas, too! What a great way to push thinking!
To dive into our new unit on adding and subtracting #fractions, students spent time creating #mindmaps to showcase prior knowledge and make connections. Thanks for sharing this great idea @Lindquistical#mathchat@DAAElementary
