I'm a 6th grade teacher in Eshleman Elementary. I work as a part of the Penn Manor School District in Millersville Pennsylvania. Opinions are my own.

Happy Easter! @LCBCchurch

Great new feature on Desmos! Now you can control your teacher dashboard from your phone. My favorite feature is the ability to take a picture with your phone (maybe of an interesting bit of work by a student) and then instantly project it for everyone. https://t.co/TgpiRfybdx

@MrsSuydam_CM @CentralManorPM Awesome to see families taking a night to just have fun with each other and their community! ❤️

@howie_hua Love this!

[Richard Bodde @MrBodde]

A great, short read highlighting current research on topics like:
+ Relationship between Compassion and Rigor
+ Importance of brain breaks (outside)
+ Best practices for classroom design
+ Power of Inclusion
+ Power of spaced practice
And more. https://t.co/maQKkxfci5

@JoshFeinsilber Also we were already talking during dismissal about potential interesting power ups for the gamemode that could be purchased on the way up.

My favorite was a parachute that deploys and slows your descent enough so that you can make strategic decisions about which way to fall.

[Richard Bodde @MrBodde]

@JoshFeinsilber Absolutely hillarious game mode! The thrill of reaching new heights only to face the heartbreak of a plummet to the bottom, where students have to get themselves together and begin the ascent again. Sooo much fun was had this afternoon!

Today is our annual House Sorting Celebration where our new students and 1st graders find out which of our awesome 5 houses they will join for their time here at Eshleman! #BuildingCommunity #YouBelong #HouseSoñador

@WilliamsCSSTEAM And here's a link to the actual scratch project: https://t.co/h4kUJcPIPv

@WilliamsCSSTEAM Here’s an example room: https://t.co/F2xRYcks5r

You would need a computer to view it (vs mobile). I embed the scratch project into a Google site otherwise my clever 6th graders go into the scratch code to try to circumvent the puzzle. This one reviews ordering integers.

@MrCarrOnTheWeb I love this book as well as The Witches Boy by the same author. It’s funny but I love the actual writing even more than the story itself. It’s hard to explain but the writing has this smooth, poetic, rhythm to it that I absolutely fell in love with.
Definitely high fantasy.

A growth mindset only has an effect when the systems in our classroom send the message of a growth mindset. No amount of posters, inspirational YouTube videos, or visits from the school guidance counselor can have the same impact. 3/

No educator has had a greater impact on my math classroom than @joboaler and this podcast reminds me why.

A few takeaways: 1/

[Richard Bodde @MrBodde]

No subject faces as much backlash as mathematics when it comes to the ideas of heterogenous grouping and de-tracking. One possible explanation is the idea that no subject is as connected with future income. (More explanation to this than will fit in a tweet.) 2/

@lori_huntsman @Booksource Do you mind sharing what scanner you use? I’ve wanted to get one but wasn’t sure what would work well.

[Richard Bodde @MrBodde]

@edaydemir @davidporas @MathigonOrg What?!?! I love this new feature. Time to get building!

[Richard Bodde @MrBodde]

@davidporas @CAMT_online @desmosclassroom @MathigonOrg @Amplify Awesome! Is it possible to have it randomly generate functions for students? And then include like a “what’s my function box?”

Family adventure to Watkin’s Glen!
