Today in Social Studies we analyzed Sumerian artifacts to identify evidence of Sumer being a highly developed civilization. Students matched artifacts to the characteristics of civilization, then analyzed others' thinking to expand on their own ideas.

We're getting better at using consensus placemats in social studies. Still have room for improvement, but we'll get there. #whywildcatsrule #SeeingIsBelieving

Using the success criteria to give each other feedback on our culminating task in language arts. Conversations were focused on the task and students are improving their work with the help of their teammates! #whywildcatsrule #seeingisbelieving

Caught a great moment of peer coaching this morning while working on a task in language arts! I was about 3 steps away from helping this student when the girl next to her jumped up to help her, and she did GREAT! #whywildcatsrule #seeingisbelieving

Division of labor simulation in social studies today. Some of us got just a tiny bit frustrated when our village ran out of food... 😂 #whywildcatsrule #SeeingIsBelieving

New month means new teams and developing new team norms! #whywildcatsrule

This didn't quite go as planned (I was really hoping some kids would draw the structure of a paragraph...) but I did find out I have some pretty creative students. Pictured: a pear-A-graph and a pair of giraffes.

I was challenged by @lgeist to post 7 book covers in 7 days. I sort of forgot about days 4-7, so this is my catch-up tweet.

[Katelyn Weseman @kweseman11]

I was challenged by @lgeist to post covers of 7 books that I love. No explanations, no reviews. I’ll challenge someone else each day to post 1 cover per day for a week.

This is day 3 of 7. I challenge @jordynhubbard10

An important reminder: "Give yourself a break. Do the work, do it with love, do your best, but then step away. Realize that part of teaching is that there is always something waiting for us." https://t.co/Y4eAkq349g via @pernilleripp
