Friday at 4:30, and I hear Science teachers planning to integrate ELA strategies for next week! Such heart and passion…. Excellence in action! 🖤💛🐝 @StarkvilleSD@PartnerMiddle
My heart if full! I got to see two of my previous 6th grade students (now juniors at MSU) perform at my school today with MSU Black Voices! Nothing makes me remember my WHY more than when a previous student of mine gives me a big hug as an adult! @StarkvilleSD
When you are watching a Jim Henson documentary and your daughter is a creative soul, she leaves the room and returns shortly with the newest muppet, Lisa, Kermit’s long lost sister! Thanks for still inspiring the younger generation, Jim! @hensoncompany@TheMuppets
This week, we’ve been building up our science skills! We built marshmallow towers using the Scientific Method, practiced taking accurate measurements, and will wrap up with some lab safety demos/scenarios! It’s been so fun watching these kiddos develop into scientists🐝🖤✨
COLOR WAR TEST PREP CHALLENGE! Motivation to reach our goals. We will be competing at all times as we review for MAAP assessments over the next 2.5 weeks! #TeamTitans#WeReady@milonsc@StarkvilleSD
I had a parent ask how I liked that "new math." Math hasn't changed. Math has always been understandable, explorable, and explainable. The problem is that math hasn't always been presented as understandable, explorable, and explainable, but mostly memorizable. #iowamath
Building a conceptual understanding of the volume of rectangular prisms. Through this, we will “discover” the formula to find the volume of rectangular prisms. Problem solving to build an understanding of mathematics. #problemsolvers@milonsc@StarkvilleSD
This is truth! I’ve learned so much about the power of loving kids this year! My kiddos are defying the odds and growing each day despite time missed due to the pandemic! #teachingwithgraceandflair#MaslowbeforeBloom
Hopefully, they can remember what a high concentration of a solvent means, by remembering what it tasted like! 🍋 This year has given us a lot of lemons, but don’t you worry we are turning them into a lemonade of learning! @StarkvilleSD@milonsc
Learning about the concentration levels in a solution and how to raise and lower the levels. What better way than to experience this first hand? Lemonade anyone?!?! #Handson#LemonadeConcentration@StarkvilleSD@milonsc
Excellence soars! Congratulations to Ms. Brasher, Ms. Landrum, and Mr. Pacharne for being named SOAR Teachers of Distinction! We’re proud of you and the excellence you bring to students every day. #ExpectExcellence#StarkvilleSpark
Yes, the kiddos still need Brain breaks during virtual class! Bring your classroom alive through a screen! Thankful for technology! Moving forward with instruction even during an ice storm! 🥶😍 #expectexcellence@milonsc@StarkvilleSD
Ok, so Ms. Whiskers was really just napping! My real virtual assistant is Patty Newsom (circled below), and she is the main reason I can accomplish anything during live classes. Seriously, she rocks! #OESVirtual#ExpectExcellence@milonsc@StarkvilleSD
