Ending #ReadAcrossAmerica with my mom surprising me by not only reading her planned book, but “Hop on Pop”- the first book I ever read by myself, complete with pictures of me reading it to the class in pre school. Thanks for out teaching me to my own class...

Did I just buy (with a gift card) an Among Us review game template? Yes. Will I be using it at the end of every unit until the rest of the year? Also yes. #ifyouknowyouknow

My fall break has started out with an inbox of emails from my second class ever and my heart is so full. Thanks to WoFo for having the 8th graders practice sending emails this week!

This is not the first time I’ve been photoshopped in to someone’s independent work this year and I sure hope it’s not the last.

[Lindsey Bell Morris @classroombell]

This morning was tough. Really tough. So I:

- took a walk in the sunshine with a colleague
- had an impromptu lunch bunch with students
- picked a fun book to read aloud “just because”

Then my day wasn’t so bad after all.

Loving the science work I’ve had submitted so far this morning. Students watched a quick Generation Genius and then went on a scavenger hunt to find energy transfers in their homes! #NGSS

If your TL needed some positivity:
I’ve been finishing up my Google Site/ YouTube for lessons & read alouds. A kid taught me how to go YouTube Live, and while I was making materials, he made a class wide Google Hangouts so the class can chat when I’m offline. This group, y’all ❤️

[Lindsey Bell Morris @classroombell]

@mrpiercEy Great minds think alike- I have been working on one this morning as well. Would you recommend a YouTube Live screen vs say a Google Meet?

[Lindsey Bell Morris @classroombell]

In a time where people are stepping up to provide tons of resources for our students, the question becomes:
1. How do we meet families basic needs first?
2. How do we balance meeting families at their capacity to lead their students, while providing the best remote learning?

@Brehm40 Exactly. Luckily our librarian is doing exchanges this afternoon so all my kids are going home with 2 books of choice in addition to a literature circle book and a free choice from our class library. #priorities

@SenorParker859 They said keep your head back and man was she a solid listener!

Gotta love “hanging out” at Newton’s Attic! The perfect trip to wrap up our energy unit.

Small but mighty team for KAAC Regionals today. Still wound up 2nd place overall in FPS with 3 individual testers placing!

[Lindsey Bell Morris @classroombell]

7th Grade Science. I could NOT organize my binder like my teacher wanted and my grades were low solely due to binder checks. I moved on to Regional Science Fair that year and am the Science Rep for my building now.

2 hour delay schedule means I’m finally pulling out my 20 minute “Energy in Toys” Exploration w/ a quick CER writing. (4-PS3-4) #ngsstalk

[Lindsey Bell Morris @classroombell]

On a Monday of a week I know I’ll be pulling 12 hour days at work, getting invited by the kiddos to join in on these recess choices make me smile. (Equivalency Go Fish, Spoons, School and Origami) #mywhy

Returning from a brief Twitter hiatus to share more of my favorites from science this year. Lesson 1 of #squishycircuits How can we demonstrate the transfer of electricity through circuits?
