Families - don't forget to send winter gear with your students! We'll be outside for recess as long as the real feel is above zero degrees!

Maker Space Challenge in 3rd grade! The goal was to create a catapult that would shoot a squishy pumpkin at a target. Kids loved being engineers of their own projects! #makerspace#theheights
I've been sharing this amazing picture on Zoom class visits — kids remote learning during a polio outbreak in the 1940s. Schools shut and teachers read lessons on the RADIO. We're facing such challenges today, but as I tell kids, we've faced them in the past and gotten through.
Join me on Facebook Thursday, April 2 at 3:00pm EST/12:00pm PST for a LIVE reading of my book EACH KINDNESS! I'm partnering with the Penguin Random House and PARENTS #ReadTogetherBeTogether program to share stories with families during social distancing. See you at storytime!
"We miss them and we care about them and we will do everything we possibly can to continue to feed them and find ways to make sure they know how much we care about them." @StaceyCole talking about @StormLakeCSD students with @IPRBen. #AmericasSchool

If you have students who read fluently but struggle to understand what they’re reading, it seems paradoxical but they may have an underlying oral language weakness. Teaching vocabulary and thinking skills first in spoken language can help. https://t.co/a5RiLwaU8d
Brain breaks are super handy—they get kids out of their seats for a minute and help them refocus on learning. @desautels_phd is back with more ideas for the elementary grades. Can your students peel a tangerine behind their backs? https://t.co/foXyioUhtS
