New to Campus Day at @CoyoteRidgeElem! Cannot wait for the school year to start at the Greatest School on Earth! #oneLISD #LISDnewteacher

So glad to get to see this amazing leader @KROG55 of our school district one more time before he retires. He will surely be missed. #LISD #flexibleandnimble

Thankful postcards all ready to send to my students. I send them every year and the students are super thankful and surprised to get actual mail!

[Mrs. Ballinger @MrsBallingerCRE]

A huge thanks to @AggieNetwork for sending my class some awesome Aggie Swag! They were so excited to learn about Texas A&M and are ready to be future Aggies! Whoop! #CREleads #ThinkCollegeThursday

A4: it allows for hands on exploration. A5: AVP games help build background knowledge. A6: TRTW helps Ss collaboratively talk out ideas and concepts before writing. #lisdsciCHAT

[Mrs. Ballinger @MrsBallingerCRE]

@LISDScience All of the things we are trying to build in our students. We want them to be independent thinkers and explorers.

[Mrs. Ballinger @MrsBallingerCRE]

@LISDScience A3: CERs are very much small data. The article talked about authentic assessments where students evaulate their learning. Students can use CER to evaulate what they learned and them the rubric to evaulate their communication. #lisdsciCHAT

[Mrs. Ballinger @MrsBallingerCRE]

@LISDScience A1: we are going to create learners that are going to want to explore and understand versus just taking someone's word. Instill that life long learning through exploration for evidence.

[Mrs. Ballinger @MrsBallingerCRE]

@MrsWilsonCRE I agree with "because I said so". Too many cannot expand their answer beyond the simple yes and no. We want to create critical thinkers and communicators!

[Mrs. Ballinger @MrsBallingerCRE]

A2: Wait time was also evident. You could see the wheels spinning on one of the students, but the teacher was patient. #lisdsciCHAT

[Mrs. Ballinger @MrsBallingerCRE]

A2: I loved the modeling in the video. The teacher knew what the students struggled with and guided the students. #lisdsciCHAT

[Mrs. Ballinger @MrsBallingerCRE]

Good morning. Sorry for my late start. I am 4th grade science at CRE. #lisdsciCHAT
