It's been a pretty spectacular start to the school year. My Ss are ENGAGED and I'm loving their curiosity. I'm thankful for Fall Break to recharge, because here at @ELM_HCS we are #performanceoverparticipation. EAGLE MENTALITY๐ฆ ๐๐

Year 5!! It's been a whirlwind and adventure of building relationships and striving for growth! Attached is my Amazon Wishlist to help support and replenish classroom needs and materials. I appreciate ANY support and donations!

As a math teacher I LOVE @Desmos . Sometimes my students need something more concrete. I used our virtual demos card sort and created a hands on version. Ss worked collaboratively to define and apply equations. @Dr_Douglas_ELMS @Math_HCS@mjharada5
My Accelerated Ss are learning about angles. I created this real-world activity for them to visual angles in everyday things! I can't wait to see the rest! @Math_HCS @Dr_Douglas_ELMS @mjharada5
2024 Teacher Goal...focus on the "we do" and the "you do". Student growth comes from opportunity to INTENTIONALLY PRACTICE, not listen to a lecture.

Meet, Bunny! I've wanted a classpet since my first year teaching. I think the value of loving and caring for a classpet is huge for students that need emotional support.
I can't wait to introduce him to everyone. ๐๐๐
Principals, stock up on Post-it notes for fall! When you visit classrooms, leave a post-it note on their desk telling them how lucky their students are to have them & share something you learned or enjoyed about the visit. I call them "Post-its of Praise"
As many return back to school, here's a reminder to put:
Relationships before rigor
Grace before grades
Kindness before content
Patience before punishment
Bonds before books
Compassion before compliance
Meaning before mandates.
Education is about people first after all.
2023-2024, let's GO! Back HOME at #ELMS, same grade, and a new group of eager learners. If you feel compelled, please help support my classroom and students as we engage in this year's work! ๐๐งฎ๐ซ
