Teacher fail of the day - No better way to start a riot in your classroom than your classroom pet beardie pooping about half his weight out. Sent everyone, including me, into a gagging mess. Ready for Christmas break😅
My sweet eighth graders didn’t get to play their last game today, but that didn’t stop us from celebrating them! Absolute rockstars, this whole group😊 #MAMSlife#GrowingBears
Today for our 28 days celebration, we learned about Guion Bluford and Mae Jemison - The first black man and woman to travel to space. I had a student respond, “Maybe that can be me, I’m black”
This is why we celebrate Black History. #MACSawesome
Today is the day! As we come up on the one year anniversary of COVID-19 reaching North Carolina and forever changing parts of education and our lives...teachers are getting their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine!
Schools will dismiss early today. BHT… https://t.co/B6jWa1u9sI
A3 - Always, always give students a voice. It is so important for students to feel heard. It is very discouraging to have your concerns/struggles shrugged off. Checking in with the kids is a priority always. #MACSawesome
A2 - Progress monitoring through tools like Branching Minds and Imagine Math ensures that each student is being met at their level in order to grow as a well-rounded learner. #MACSawesome
@WillardPenny Absolutely! Tools like Imagine Math, Khan Academy, and EasyCBM often are incredible at providing individualized learning pathways and tracking student progress. I use these almost daily!
A1 - Promoting equity in the classroom can be done through accommodating an array of learning styles and disabilities. Being creative with technology is a great way to differentiate instruction. #MACSawesome
@WillardPenny@MACSchools Emma Wagoner, 6th grade math & science. Samantha Surratt is my mentor and she has been an incredible asset to me! She got me through my first year of teaching and continues to help me daily. #MACSawesome
