Students created a non-locomotor movement to show what they do for fun. Students showed their movements using rotating partners. Volunteers came to the front to show a partner's movement. The audience guessed who created the movement. #communitybuilding#belonging@NHE_HCS
Students became architects, measuring the scale model of a floor plan, then re-measuring based on the scale ratio. Learning is noisy and collaborative. These kids were thinking hard! @NHE_HCS
Feedback is critical to student learning.
Students received feedback on four different occasions during our latest writing piece, both from me and their peers. On the last day, students reviewed all feedback and reflected on what they learned. @NHE_HCS@ELA_HCS
Students incorporated the conjunctions 'but' and 'so' into their writing. What's the difference? How do conjunctions help us precisely communicate ideas? We completed sentence stems, unscrambled sentences, and incorporated sentences into our writing. Thank you @TheWritingRevol
Writing poems to reflect the different properties of matter. We discussed stanza, line, and rhyme.
Next week, students will choreograph poems using different movement qualities. @NHE_HCS@MickiFoster@MrsCulpepperNHE
Students performed their choreography today. Movement sequences demonstrated students' understanding of movement qualities. Can you identify the smooth, sharp, suspended, swinging, or swaying movement? @NHE_HCS
Thrilled to share this amazing activity about cultivating belonging in our community. Every student in 2nd-5th grade participated. Thank you Alliance of Teacher Leaders! #henryatl2022@robininhampton @LearnInHenry
Students created a movement sequence with locomotor and non-locomotor movement to showcase the difference between mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Classification choreography was a success! @NHE_HCS
Nothing makes me happier than students making connections between movement and academic content.
These students explained how their movement showcased the attributes of mammals. Classification choreography was a success! @NHE_HCS
Learning is collaborative and often noisy.
These students worked on constructing viable arguments today. Which shape doesn't belong?
Does your response use language of the discipline? Does your response effectively organize your ideas? @NHE_HCS@SHodges1980@FletcherInFirst

Simply magical. Total Participation! Can literally stand in center of room and have a 360 view of student thinking and clear up misconceptions quickly!! They turn green light on when ready to share. Red light when struggling. @Math_HCS@makishawilliams@kkinsler3@DrSherfield
I enjoy Marian Small's (@marian_small) Open Questions. She takes a traditional problem and opens up parts that lead to interesting explorations and conversations.
If you like them too, she's got an online workshop about creating & using open questions: https://t.co/ixQ9eAezEv
