One of my students gave me this @funko pop figure for Christmas. It must have cost him a fortune to have it custom made in my likeness :) #SAISrocks

My students are loving this multiplication connect 4 game. They are allowed a cheat sheet, but before you know it, have memorized the times tables they were struggling with, all in the name of friendly competition. Amazing progress made in just a few days. #SAISrocks

@tessalmeyer But I’m colour blind :)

[Michael O'Brien @mrobrienman]

We’re diving into some basic number talks. The students are coming up with amazing mathematical thinking strategies! #SAISrocks

Kicking off this week’s Hour of Code with our old mate Bill Gates lending some inspiration. He seems to know what he’s doing :) #SAISrocks

My G4 students are absolutely crushing their research inquiry into a government system. This has been a great chance for them to pull information from various sources they might not usually go to. Good practice for what will come next year in the PYP Exhibition. #SAISrocks

@mrkempnz @stulowe80 @ATorrens84 I have a vintage Nintendo in my class. The ultimate incentive for the kids to work hard :)

I’m late to the game on the Spellboard app. Love what I’m seeing so far! Teachers, what else can I use to enhance my word study program? #SAISrocks

[Michael O'Brien @mrobrienman]

My students have just discovered @prezi. An amazing resource for information, presented in a simple way. The students are loving researching government systems via this platform. #SAISrocks

My class is loving this ‘Raging Rectangles’ activity. A quick and easy way to explore the connection between times tables, arrays and area models. #SAISRocks

We have an artist in the house summing-up our thoughts today while @mrkempnz masterfully rocks the twitter feed. Kemp for president! #SAISrocks

@JametPatrick and 2 other legends unpacking what international mindedness means here at Stamford. #SAISrocks

[Michael O'Brien @mrobrienman]

We’re discussing our mission statement here at Stamford. How does it feel, what does it look like and what does it sound like? #SAISrocks

[Michael O'Brien @mrobrienman]

What are our Stamford values? Big discussions around this today. #SAISrocks
