5th Grade teacher at Midland Elementary @PowayUnified, with an M.Ed from @uofsandiego. Passionate about building a learning community, one high five at a time.
*Checks Twitter* Hey, I know that guy! ππ»
Thanks @PUSDinnovate for the love! I appreciated the opportunity to be part of #PUSDVoyager over the last 2 years, and try to look through that innovate lens every day in my classroom.
It's been a great 2 years innovating as part of the PUSD Voyager program - thrilled to share my experience with Voice and Choice options for informational writing: https://t.co/NVENhHbfb5

Celebrated the 100th Day of School with a kindness rainbow...5th Graders wrote one way to be kind on each sticky note for a total of 100, and students delivered the finishing touches πππ #100DaysOfSchool#MidlandMagic
Confidence, curiosity, joy and problem-solving are the qualities I want my students to have as mathematicians - aiming to promote and those traits among others when I think about teaching math. Great afternoon session with San Diego Area Writing Project! #PUSDProGrow#SDAWP
Universal Design for Learning - let's support our students in developing into expert learners! For me, I see that starting with opportunity for voice and choice. @PowayUnified#PUSDProGrow
Meanwhile, Willow sleeps amidst the soothing sounds of professional development - no doubt dreaming of interdisciplinary learning, academic discourse, and UDL #PUSDProGrow @missnunnenkamp
Up next: Academic Discourse & Thinking Protocols with @amfousek_ed and @MsSwissman - trying to eliminate some of the crickets during class discussions! #PUSDProGrow@PowayUnified
How can we integrate/align social studies and science into our Benchmark ELA curriculum? Teaching the U.S. Constitution first to line up with BA Unit 1 feels like a good start. (Even though it's not exactly on the timeline!π¬) #PUSDProGrow
Excited for a day of professional learning! Getting started with Interdisciplinary Learning 101 - integrating Social Studies / Science with ELA. @PowayUnified#PUSDProGrow
.@PamMunozRyan We just finished a class novel study of Esperanza Rising and my 5th Graders loved it!
Quick ?: We are connecting the novel to Cesar Chavez and wondering - did you pick grapes as the start and end of and book because of Chavezβs grapes strike?
Designing a locker with my favorite things to kick off Day 2 of @PUSDVoyager training...fun activity for community building, especially for someone that never had a locker in school #ThePossibilities#MidlandMagic
