So much #DGSPride for @DGS_Dance Fillies @IHSAState Finals @grossingerarena in Bloomington. I loved everything about their state send off at school this a.m., to cheering w/ our amazing families during the performance, to celebrating with our dancers after. Congrats! @DGSSports

These Kindergarten students have picked out some good books to enjoy during the snowy weather we are expecting! ❄️📖❤️@sd925wps @SD925District

[WPS & WIS Library @WPSWISLibrary]

How it started ➡️ how it’s going! To celebrate #InternationalLEGODay students at WIS received a LEGO brick every time they checked out a book.
Our LEGO is a great visualization of the 1,013 books that were checked out in just 2 weeks!

Zoom tip. If you are "Zooming" from your classroom and have a projector, use it as an extended desktop. Put the kids/zoom in grid view on the projector and your screen share/slides on your laptop. Works really well and allows you to "see" the kids while teaching from your slides.

[Seesaw @Seesaw]

Listening to students explain their thinking allows teachers to gain insight into their students’ thought process. You can easily identify if students understand the concept and where their understanding needs more support and scaffolding. Drawing and record is great for this!

Made some quick tens frame playing cards. You can "draw" from the "shuffled decks" on Google Slides. Feel free to make a copy and improve them!

@TracyZager your question about online cards inspired this!
