You don’t have to be an expert to be a leader in your school.

You just have to be a learner and share your learning with others.

@jessieescue I think you have to restart your phone while standing next to your microwave. Try that.

Losing patients to Covid is a heavy weight on our community and staff. As a reminder that amidst loss we have victories, we are placing tulips representing recovered patients. We will also play “Here comes the sun,” upon discharge. (We are also creating a memorial for the loss)

5th graders need a little rest time after lunch on the day back from Thanksgiving break! #backtoschool #toomuchturkey #10minutepowernap

@birbigs Don't eat the first cookie in the box. Don't eat the last cookie in the box. Any of the other cookies are up for grabs.

In quarantine, teaching from my dining room today. But, got to read the last two chapters of Ereth's Birthday to my 5th graders, and they were glued to their Zoom screens. So thankful for quality children's literature! @FremontSPS @avi3writer #virtuallearning

[Karen Bowman @karenebowman]

Thankful for @SDECoxHealth and his transparency!

140 Covid positive inpatients, 116 at Cox South, 17 Cox Branson, 4 Cox Monett, 3 Cox Barton County. 28 critical. Below is an image of the before and after COVID unit, note 6+ staff caring for one patient. Our region owes these doctors, nurses, RTs so much.

Finding text features. Sometimes 5th graders need to cut and paste!

@jessieescue Um, yes.

A7 Visual - I see the jumps on the number line. #SPSMathChat

[Karen Bowman @karenebowman]

@MsCastillosMath Most of my 5th graders crash and burn. It's painful to watch. I'm loving the Daily Fluency Routines where I work to convince them that really, their brains can handle these problems much quicker than their pencils!

[Karen Bowman @karenebowman]

A6: 97 to 100 is 3, then 1 more to 101. Easy as jumps on a number line! #SPSMathChat

@mshoos02 And recognizing how their solution differs from another's but ends up in the same place. For today's Math Talk S1 said "I started like S2, but then I did this..."
