Happy Thursday! I’m getting back into school mode and did a little learning for myself today. Topic was on creating digital portfolios. #edtech

Lincoln, @Mr_Thorington, and I hiked up Sugarloaf Mountain last week. The views were so beautiful! Also, as small as Lincoln is, he is surprisingly an amazing mountain dog 😂

Does anyone else have a huge pile of books that they are reading at the same time? Because, same. 😂

[Megan Thorington @ThorInGrade4]

@Weiss_Principal Including a janky intersection in Wyandotte 😂 Thank you again!! It truly means a lot. 5 hours is a long time but at least there were movies and I’m sure a lot of fun!

[Megan Thorington @ThorInGrade4]

@S_Theobald How cool!!

In true secret agent style, @Weiss_Principal dropped this off and I couldn’t be more surprised! Thank you for brightening my spirits during this tough time! It’s easy to feel discouraged in a time like this, but the little things truly go the distance!

3/17/20—Who is your favorite Disney character? My answer is Merida from Brave.

In the spirit of keeping up social interaction while staying home, I’m taking some advice from one of my kiddos. On our @Flipgrid, he is asking a question a day! I will tweet them in a thread attached to this tweet. Please reply with your answer if you’d like 😊

3/16/20 — What is your favorite activity? I split my answer into two sections. Outside the home: antiquing and camping. Inside the home: reading and watching movies/shows.

[Megan Thorington @ThorInGrade4]

@Weiss_Principal Thank you! The drawings were so much fun!

[Megan Thorington @ThorInGrade4]

Check out our sketches of what happens to the neurons in our brains when we are learning! Today we made our promises for growth mindset this month! 🧠 💪 #GSDpride #WeAreWildcats

[Megan Thorington @ThorInGrade4]

@Weiss_Principal @padlet Main idea is a work in progress, but we are getting there!! The kiddos are loving reading informational texts!

[Megan Thorington @ThorInGrade4]

@ShannonSamulski @Weiss_Principal @GSDacademics I didn’t see this earlier! I love how excited they were! The little “3...2...1!” was so great.

[Weiss @Weiss_Principal]

I love seeing our 4th graders in @ThorInGrade4 using their SIS strategies to help them solve problems! #GSDpride #MinniSubbi
