@nenagerman Too much to write, a great visual, something I want to refer to again later

@SonjaCherryPaul @_CrystalMWatson @triciaebarvia @nenagerman bringing the fire, truth, and challenges to educators engaged in Building Critical Classrooms. Great start to #LitMath2024

[Miss Cervantes @dancingMissC46]

I’m attending https://t.co/hlQqUmRzui to learn about writing across content areas at #NABE2024 Thank you @ELLLisbeth @OmalyIsaaccura @DrSMercuri @vivianrpratts1

@HKhodai I felt validated; I didn’t have to explain myself/downplay my experience. “It’s real, not in my head, I’m not needy or overreacting. My body is acting in this way.” It provided options for management, though in my experience this has remained an ongoing journey. Solidarity ✊🏼🩸

Always a pleasure to have @LanguagePerez invest in our future educators @MidlandUEdu

[Lee Perez @LanguagePerez]

Thank you Midland University for allowing me to speak to your future educators tonight. Teaching our future teachers how to work with our ELLs is truly a passion of mine.

@JayWamsted I was a New Mexico elementary student in the ‘90s and we pledged to the American and New Mexico flags, both in English and Spanish

@_CrystalMWatson To feel safe being my full self, unapologetically

[Miss Cervantes @dancingMissC46]

@_CrystalMWatson What is the verb in the standard? What does that look like? What supports are needed to demonstrate that verb without substituting the rigor involved?

This student was born the year I taught her oldest brother. She’s in the room across the hall and we greet each other each morning. She sent me a candy gram 🥹

@paul_emerich I love what I learn as I facilitate the learning of others

@AmySeverance3 @LaraMathcalf My hope is that by experience with simplifying, students develop number sense with equivalence, scale, and relationships between fractions & decimals

[Miss Cervantes @dancingMissC46]

@LaraMathcalf Yes 😊

[Miss Cervantes @dancingMissC46]

@LaraMathcalf I will say we weren’t fluent with whole-number factors/multiples, but are now moving in that direction (I taught 4th and looped with them this year in 5th)

[Miss Cervantes @dancingMissC46]

@LaraMathcalf I use models to present it as “the same value w/ different-sized pieces,” emphasizing the same whole to start; as we move to the algorithm, I emphasize the identity property of multiplication. I’m just now moving to simplifying w/ common factors & identity property of division.

[Miss Cervantes @dancingMissC46]

Today I repeatedly told myself “At least tomorrow’s Friday.” Apparently that’s incorrect 🫠

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Sounds about right! 💯

[Miss Cervantes @dancingMissC46]

@AkieaG Yes! Sometimes pain/swelling with cycle but also constant pain from fibroadenomas (I’ve had multiple surgeries to remove them.) Hormone suppressants have addressed the pain but not eliminated the masses. Interestingly, my left ovary and my right breast hate me.

Congratulations to a former @OPS_SpringLake Puma!!!

Congrats Charlotte! #GoPack

The cacophony of coughing in and around my room today… 🤢🙅🏽‍♀️😷

[Miss Cervantes @dancingMissC46]

Student 1: “How do you spell sabotage?”
Student 2: “Did you say Santa Claus?”

Happy Monday 🙃
