Today we visited the San Diego Zoo via their live cameras on their website today! Would definitely recommend-the students LOVED seeing all the different animals!!

I love letting students partner read our weekly anchor text for our Day 3 reading and do their text questions together. Today I listened to a group both argue their equally right answers, and you could see the other understanding their thought. #collaboration

A4) Getting to help shape young children's minds and help them reach their potential. The students make the stress of the job all worthwhile, especially when you reach struggling students! #nebedchat #552Bobcat

A2) Opportunities for further education and proper training! #nebedchat #552bobcat

A1) In our building, we rely heavily on our school psychologist, as our nurse is not full time in our building and just started this year. #nebedchat #552bobcat

Lexus Kottmeyer 4th grade teacher at Bennet Elementary! Favorite thing about spring is warmer weather! #nebedchat #552bobcat

@MckenzieGoplin That's such a great idea that is so easy to do on a daily basis and will help build relationships with students! #552bobcat #552peru

We started a new book for our read aloud this week and the kids are on the edge of their seats while reading Golden Sower Nominated "Slacker" by Gordon Korman! Great read aloud for 3rd/4th graders!

So thankful for @GoNoodle so we can still get movement in with their indoor recess videos, even when it’s raining outside! #brainbreaks

[edutopia @edutopia]

Short movement breaks deliver oxygen to the brain, strengthening mental sharpness and neural connectivity. Here's how students (and teachers, too) can breathe, pretzel, and move into a calmer mindset. #HowLearningHappens

.@AnnieAndMoby helped the students learn and explore 3D solid figures today to supplement our lesson with learning about their faces, edges, and vertices!

[Lexus Brown @KottmeyerLexus]

This is such a great way to think about things and get students in this mindset too!

[Lexus Brown @KottmeyerLexus]

Starting to use more sponge activities in our extra time and used @GetKahoot to review prepositional phrases #552Peru

SO important to remember when thinking about how to teach a lesson to your students!

A3: If you don’t know your students well, you can’t teach them well! Every student has a STORY (Strengths, Tendencies, Opportunities, Resources, Yearnings)... know it!!! #LearnLAP #Significant72

Shout out to my dry shampoo teachers.

[Lexus Brown @KottmeyerLexus]

@mkthemathteach Thanks for teaching this wonderful class. I learned about the power and resources within twitter this week. #552peru

[Lexus Brown @KottmeyerLexus]

This is such a great idea! It will get the kids excited about reading while exposing them to great books too! #552peru

MK Our school is participating in the March Book Madness voting. In our library our librarian is doing the picture book bracket and up input classroom we are doing the middle grade bracket. @mariacaplin #2019MBM

[Lexus Brown @KottmeyerLexus]

Very thought-provoking and students would really get to show what else they know about the content! #552peru

[edutopia @edutopia]

Feel free to steal this idea from middle school teacher @AliciaJohal.

[Lexus Brown @KottmeyerLexus]

I've been looking for a strategy to get students to effectively give peer feedback! I'll definitely be giving this a try! #552peru

[edutopia @edutopia]

3 easy steps for students to give peer feedback:
1. TELL something they liked.
2. ASK a thoughtful question.
3. GIVE a positive suggestion.
