In my experiences traveling in Europe, public transportation is much more widely used. Hopefully the US can advance pubic transportation to reduce emissions #EtownPops

STEM activity: great right before Thanksgiving! How to Catch a Turkey, pairs nicely with the text and students had a blast creating their trap! #STEM 2nd grade loves building!!

[Caity Howell @caity_howell]

2nd grade character trait lesson! students loved it (especially when we looked at myself and co-op Ms. Z!!) Students had so many great things to say! Goes along great coming off our November month of Caring!

[Caity Howell @caity_howell]

2nd grade thoughts on kindness and how we can choose it each day! Awesome activity and easy to incorporate into a morning meeting!

[Caity Howell @caity_howell]

never underestimate the power of a teacher !!

[Caity Howell @caity_howell]

the best philosophy to have- make the learning special and think about the rest later! using a formative assessment creates for an effective lesson! #SSMETHODS

[Caity Howell @caity_howell]

Great tid-bit on why handwriting is SO important, too many lesson plans these days revolve around technology! Using this tip in the Social Studies classroom to create letters back to historical figures could be a great future lesson! #SSMETHODS

In terms of letter recognition and overall reading development, writing letters by hand is better than typing them on a keyboard. https://t.co/zOBbT0Jolx

What a great use of a word wall in Social Studies, a tool set for any age group and all learning types! #SSMETHODS

[Dana Scott @scott4rees]

We tried the, “I see...” strategy for our new unit about explorers in Social Studies today. 😁😁 @ReesStars @MrsGCarbajal @SSSuccess1

[Caity Howell @caity_howell]

A great way to get the whole class involved, especially when some students think Social Studies can be “boring”, interactive for all! #SSMETHODS

[edutopia @edutopia]

Typically only a few students raise their hands to answer questions. These 3 simple techniques can help teachers structure their class so that *all* students are active.

WOW I love this! What a great way for kids to experience other cultures. Love it. #SSMETHODS

[Caity Howell @caity_howell]

A quick 60 second routine that can set the next class period (however long or short it may be) up for success! Great tool for students any age (even college)! #SSMETHODS

[edutopia @edutopia]

60-Second Strategy: Stop, relax. Here’s a way to help students self-regulate during the school day. ☁️

[Caity Howell @caity_howell]

I have seen this used in a few classrooms before- having a fidget bin is a great way to keep students involved and focused on the task! #SSMETHODS

[Dana Scott @scott4rees]

Did you walk out with toy soldiers and play dough from your lead teacher meeting today?? I did!! Make and take for engagement strategies in 4th grade social studies was awesome!!! @ReesStars @LAschuldt @Alief_SS @amarenst1 #AliefSSRocks

[Caity Howell @caity_howell]

Great way to have students truly THINKING in the classroom! Small groups or individual seems like a great aspect ! #SSMETHODS

[East Coventry ES @OJRSDEC]

What does it mean to be analytical with our responses to reading? Our 5th graders in Mrs. Boukalik’s class are developing analytical responses. @ojrsd_supt @PADeptofEd @litguy6 @ecescoach @litguy6

Happy Thumbs Up Thursday! This is a great way to start off a Thursday morning meeting- a positive thing for the week means a positive attitude for the day!
