I’ve been in @MrGlibbery’s classroom three times in the last month and have learned more and had more fun than I did in all of my social studies classes combined. #knowMOORE

@HartsMathClass @mooremustangs @MrHigginsSS The best thing about camo jokes is that you never see them coming

Spent the day surprising teachers with a little recognition! Thank you, Mustangs, for all you do! #knowmoore @mooremustangs

I was NOT expecting a game of Among Us to break out in our New Teacher Support meeting, but I am not mad about it #bonding #TeacherLife #knowmoore @mooremustangs

Thank you to the teachers I’ve seen this morning who began their lessons with a student check-in. Today, more than ever, let your students know it’s okay to not feel okay.

Joining as many virtual classes as I can today, and I am blown away by the amount of preparation our teachers have put into digital learning. I’ve seen virtual notebooks, interactive slideshows, and teacher-created videos, just to name a few. Proud of my school! #knowmoore

“I enjoy helping kids find the joy and satisfaction of finding a solution to something really challenging after lots of struggle and persistence.”

Big thank you to Ms. Garner!

Now I’d like to hear from some other math educators; why do you teach math?

Time for some Wednesday Wisdom!

Wednesday Wisdom #2 comes from @mooremustangs very own Meredith Garner!

@GarnerLovesMath is an exceptional 8th grade math teacher and former Moore Teacher of the Year.

The question:

Why do you teach math?

[Alex Whittenburg @mathwithwhitt]

Big thanks to Mrs. Luce for this response.

How would you answer this question?

[Alex Whittenburg @mathwithwhitt]

Wednesday Wisdom #1 comes from someone I taught on a team with for 7 years; she also happens to be one of my closest friends. The brilliant ELA teacher @LuceELA!

The question:
What advice would you give to a new teacher about the first week of school?

[Alex Whittenburg @mathwithwhitt]

“The best laid plans will change, but frustration will only lead to stress. Adapt and appreciate the missteps because they usually force you to grow as an educator.”

[Alex Whittenburg @mathwithwhitt]

Happy Wednesday, everybody!

So I’ve decided that I’m going to do a weekly Twitter series called “Wednesday Wisdom,” where I’ll post some candid words of wisdom from some of my favorite educators/school staff/students, etc.

First post is coming this afternoon, so stay tuned!

[Alex Whittenburg @mathwithwhitt]

Happy 1st day, Mustangs! While it might not look like any other first day we’ve experienced, let’s hit the ground running and start strong! #NTI #knowmoore

EDUCATORS! My cousin has joined the ranks and is building a beautifully diverse classroom library. BUY HER SOME BOOKS!
