It's School Bus Driver Appreciation Week! Northstar drivers were treated to hot coffee and rolls on a very cold morning. We thank our bus drivers for the safe, consistent, and professional transportation that they provide to our students. Thanks Student Transit! #nmspolars

When they all just do their job and are engaged in constructive conversation and real teamwork ❤️ I love self-designed lab day! #6thchat #scienceteacher #nmspolars

[Alisha Moldenhauer @ammoldenhauer]

@kitschiefelbein Love it!

[Alisha Moldenhauer @ammoldenhauer]

When you tell students to “put on goggles” and they follow your instructions all too well. 😂 I love classroom laughs!

[Alisha Moldenhauer @ammoldenhauer]

A critical thinking question, a lot of time, and a little guidance all lead to some really good discussion in science today! #nmspolars #6thchat

You know you’re in the right job when you wake up excited in the mornings! Year 11 and I still love that first day feeling! Happy first day to everyone who is starting today! #nmspolars #ecasd #6thchat #BackToSchool2018

[Alisha Moldenhauer @ammoldenhauer]

I agree! Such a reminder of how little things are what makes a big difference. Relationships are always the key ❤️

[Alisha Moldenhauer @ammoldenhauer]

If this isn’t true, no idea what is! I’ve had the joy of being inspired by many over the past couple years at @Northstarmiddle. I can’t wait to see those faces in the halls again and to meet brand new, amazing #nmspolars. So many beautiful souls who fill my heart with joy!

[Alisha Moldenhauer @ammoldenhauer]

I really LOVE a couple of these. Will be using work time tomorrow to figure out how to make some work right away!

Starting to feel like a classroom again ❤️😍 #myclassroom #nmspolars #6thchat

August. It’s bittersweet, but I can’t help but feel that excitement walking to my classroom for the first time of the year. 😍 Can’t wait for it to be full of wonderful souls again. #ilovemyjob #6thchat #teachersinaugust

Day before break? We did the #marshmallowchallenge today! Ss needed to make the tallest freestanding structure using only noodles, string, tape and place a marshmallow on top. Saw some amazing ideas and teamwork #nmspolars #6thchat #teamwork

[Alisha Moldenhauer @ammoldenhauer]

Today, Ss were given a planet and asked to think about the that planet if we shrunk the sun to the size of a person. They chose a spot to stand in the hall that they thought was a correct distance from the “sun.” Then after a discussion, they tried again! #nmspolars #6thchat

Watched the @SpaceX launch today! The kids all cheered at liftoff! Watching the side cores land simultaneously, one student said, “wow… They actually did it! “It was fascinating to see

[Alisha Moldenhauer @ammoldenhauer]

Last week, Ss asked GREAT questions in a chat room discussion. We didn’t discuss everything in class, so I put the questions to the students. Lots of quick research and and questioning going on! #nmspolars #inquiry #6thchat

[Alisha Moldenhauer @ammoldenhauer]

Self selected seating (kids are seated on the floor at front) and some healthy competition with a Socrative Space Race in math. #nmspolars #learningisfun #enjoyngfriday #6thchat

Google must be talking about a different Earth and a different Sun. Our Earth and Sun are separated by 500 light seconds. Nice catch, @NickLilja.
