I wish I could go back in time and describe to my 20 year self how one day it’ll be 12:30 at night and I’ll be one of six people who have responded “interested” on a set of three pairs of socks someone in our local Buy Nothing group has posted, eagerly hoping to be the chosen one

How I became the Hugging Mom 🧵:

Every day when I drop my son off at preschool, I give him a hug and wish him a good day. I tell him I love him while he runs off to play with his friends. Last week, after I hugged my son, something different happened.

@TerryGrantGH I think it ended up at the haunted house on Friday. Not sure who has possession right now… 🤷🏻‍♀️

When I’m out of the room for lunch duty and the PE teachers decide to play a prank.

What an amazing way to kick-off our school day with a Tunnel of Hope at GHS to bring our community together and show ALL of our students that we believe in them! 💙🐊💚

[Marisa Ferraro @mf_teach]

Students love being leaders in the classroom! This third grader did a great job leading his classmates in our Fundations drill-sound warm-up today.

“Assessment” is derived from the Latin word assidere which means to sit beside the learner. How does knowing this change how you assess students? Does it change your thoughts on assessment?

Third grade mathematicians are noticing patterns that will help them build an understanding of multiplication!

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Belonging matters! 🙌

[Marisa Ferraro @mf_teach]

🎯 I can interpret scaled graphs. These 3rd grade mathematicians did a great job collaborating on our vertical non-permanent surfaces to answer questions about the data on scaled bar graphs.

It’s amazing how much you learn when your family competes in trivia twice a week. It helps when you know the difference between Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars though.

[John Ferraro @ja_ferraro]

When I attend trivia with my kids, my answer to every 'name the artist' audio question is Kendrick Lamar. My son finally played me some Kendrick and now I know how wrong I've been.

Let get reading GHS! I’d love to see @scottgaudet11 @GHillsGators sleep on the roof!

O.K. reading fans...at the end of WEEK 4...here are the reading results:🐸

Climbed vertically up the side of a mountain with two of my favorites today! ⁦@AcadiaNPS⁩ #BeehiveTrail

@MissAly3rd @IllustrateMath One of my brilliant mathematicians did the same thing! Amazing to see the incredible thinking @IllustrateMath has fostered!

[Marisa Ferraro @mf_teach]

These mathematicians explored fractions on a number line and started to notice that some fractions are equivalent to others. @TaniaPalmieri3 @GHillsGators

@MissAly3rd @GHillsGators @mathcoachrivera @TaniaPalmieri3 @IllustrateMath This was Unit 4, Lesson 15! I had students collaborate to make an anchor chart based on the strategies they shared during the gallery walk.

[Marisa Ferraro @mf_teach]

What strategies can you come up with to multiply 6 x 14? @GHillsGators @mathcoachrivera @TaniaPalmieri3 @IllustrateMath

Love our Garden Club’s new t-shirts!

[Marisa Ferraro @mf_teach]

I learned so many great instructional moves from watching Mr. Hanrahan today. Hearing the rationale behind every choice he made is helping me up my game in guided reading planning!

[Scott Gaudet @scottgaudet11]

I’m not sure what I liked more, the great guided reading lesson on text features or the debrief that took place afterward. Our 3rd grade team really dug down deep to get to the “why” behind many of their colleague’s teaching moves. This is how instructional practice improves!
