The first step to teaching effectively is to create a space where young people feel welcome. If they cannot be themselves in the classroom, they will not learn from you #HipHopEd #RadicalWelcoming

@shriver_amy So curious about this! Have you done any research on how the pandemic has impacted adolescent’s mental health? I would love to learn from you 💜

So inspired by you @ali_locker 💜 these students loved this writing strategy to play around with this week !

Something I love more than anything is listening to my students talk about their passions. It’s even more special when your student asks you to experience their passion with you. Loved spending tonight helping take care of puppies at Aheinz57 ❤️ #EEinkee

After watch @JonGordon11 's video, One Word that will Change Your Life, our fourth graders came up with their "One Word Mission Statements" for themselves. I am so proud and so excited to see how these words and goals will impact the rest of our year! #EEinKee #Goals

Mystery Skype success! Using our geography skills, we were able to find out where our Global Read Aloud class is from! #EEinkee

“Assumptions are often wrong” was one of our favorite quotes from Save Me a Seat. Today we explored our own biases by judging book covers. We learned the value of getting to know someone’s story first, before we make judgements about who they are. #EEinkee @stacrh

Solar oven success! Students explored solar energy by creating solar ovens powered by the sun to heat up a sweet snack! #EEinkee

Mathematicians justifying their answer for what number they believe the arrow is pointing to. Encouraging each other as we discuss! #mathtalks #EEinkee
