Nothing better than a beautiful fall day filled with excited students showing their understanding of erosion, deposition, deltas, etc. Teaching science ROCKS! #weareAPHE #risdelemsci

This is why we teach! Teachers create moments that spark something in a child that truly matters. Sometimes it is an idea, or maybe it’s a feeling, or it may be a new found confidence, but whatever form it takes, teachers create moments that matter! ❤️Love these kids! #weareaphe

@apherocks_2nd Thank you! I have to say that it is selfishly motivated! I get so much pure joy from watching the kids experience a living thing come to life before their very eyes. I do it for me and the side benefit is that the kids love it too!!💕❤️💕☘️

Today my students were teaching Texas history to our ducklings! Ohh the joys of Springtime! #weareaphe

4th graders are shining brightly with the new flashlights they built from scratch! Learning about circuits is “illuminating”.. and oh so fun! #weareAPHE

[Renée Clover @clover_renee]

Learning about circuitry is so much fun! The level of engagement, curiousity and ingenuity is truly “electrifying”! #weareAPHE

A5-I feel so fortunate that we have a stellar team of Sped, Speech, Dyslexic and Coaching specialists that are always available to share ideas, support, a shoulder and wisdom when it comes to meeting the needs of all learners.#risdchat

A4- To differentiate during the planning process, I refer back to our PLC questions. What will I do for those who get it? What will I do for those who don’t get it? How will I know the difference? #risdchat

[Renée Clover @clover_renee]

A3-differentiation reduces stress, builds self-confidence and deepens the trust between student and teacher. When a student sees you have altered the assignment to meet their needs ( high or low) the benefits are immeasurable. #risdchat

A2 Mix it up! Teach outside, teach in the hallway, teach on the floor, teach in the dark, teach with oreo’s. Try to find ways to surprise and delight without compromising the quality of your content! #risdchat

[Renée Clover @clover_renee]

Q1- when your kids are bubbling over to tell you the connection they just made or the ah-ha moment they just had... you know you sped passed compliance and hit engagement #risdchat

[Renée Clover @clover_renee]

Hello everyone! Can’t wait to share some new ideas! #risdchat

[Renée Clover @clover_renee]

Edible science is the best! Moon phases Oreo Style #weareaphe

It’s time to learn about shadows! We said the morning pledges outdoors in front of our forty foot shadows. Just one hour later students were shocked to see how much their shadows had changed. Just wait till they see what happens at 3:00! #lovescience #weareaphe

[Renée Clover @clover_renee]

Sheer bliss when your students are giddy with their new learning. They are engaged, critically thinking, supporting each other, and leaning into the rigor of coding. #iLoveHourOfCode #weareAPHE

[Renée Clover @clover_renee]

You know it was a successful lesson when a parent sends you a picture of what her child has been doing all night. Hour of Code is an AMAZING way to introduce new technology skills. More importantly, it has a way of inspiring excitement, passion, engagement and grit! #weareAPHE ❤️
