#PCGrade1 Ss created animals using base-ten materials, found the value of their animal, and compared the value of their animal with a partner. #PCCreativity #PCTeamwork

#PCGrade1 Ss read “In My Heart” and wrote about how their heart feels when they feel certain emotions. Identifying and understanding feelings is an essential social-emotional skill.

#PCGrade1 Ss celebrated Valentine’s Day by playing “What Time is it Valentine?”, creating their own time word problems, and matching money values to the correct group of coins. #PCMath #PCProblemSolving

Hold children accountable, but with understanding and curiosity for why they might be misbehaving--and faith that they can choose a better way to behave. #teachingselfdiscipline #respondingtomisbehavior #SEL #ResponsiveClassroom

"Number fact instruction that focuses on encouraging children to look for patterns and relations can generalize to problem-solving situations and can free attention and effort for other tasks."

A shoutout to the talented @MrsUnsworthWTT for the #crossnumberpuzzles adapted from talented @BerkeleyEverett !!
My son (almost 5) LOVES doing them together with me. I write while he explains what numbers go where! It is so #joyful to listen to him reason and share ideas!

First grade Ss working together to create connected equations. “Math is so much fun” -First Grade Student #oneofthebestthings @BrookebMiller

[Ms.Correa @MsCorreaATL]

Love this task!!! Enrichment isn’t teaching up its digging deeper. How can we use what we know about subtilizing and shape attributes to quickly count the number of sides! @gfletchy thank you!

[Anna Pierson @anna_copsey]

Ss worked in partners to create equations and solved using their favorite strategy. Math brains are growing every day in first grade ✨✨ @BrookebMiller #oneofthebestthings

It's so easy to get stuck in teacher-centric language habits in the classroom. If we want to truly create student-centered learning environments, we need to shift the way we talk. #teachertalk https://t.co/qrJkWhHQEj
