Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.

STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

Loving the Build a Game collection for #distancelearning. We teach the game in our live group then send the video for families. Thanks @Johnnie_Wilson #earlyyears #grade1 @IICS1911

We are learning so much about the animals we've chosen to focus on. Nonfiction writing supported by texts on Epic and teacher modeling with doc cam. Each child is creating their own book. #distancelearning #earlyyears #grade1 #IBPYP @IICS1911

@JSerravallo’s Reading and Writing strategy books are a gift to teachers! Today we worked on adding details to our drawings in order to add more to our writing. Mini lessons under the doc cam; ready to go and powerful! #grade1 #literacy @IICS1911

Such a helpful structure for organizing high frequency words into flash (decodable) and heart words. ❤️ Thanks @ReadingRockets #grade1 #literacy

Such a great read for my wee friends from faraway places. It inspired some beautiful writing about home.

Wonder Wednesday! So glad my colleague thought of introducing an individual inquiry project during home learning. So glad our team decided to do it weekly. Teaching children to seize opportunities of wonder and curiosity to find out more! #grade1 #inquiry #distancelearning

As far as I can tell, it’s still about relationships. I’m using daily lunch and gratitude posts for connection. We had a live read aloud session yesterday which was the first time in 6 weeks that it really felt like us, together again. #distancelearning #earlyyears
