Thank you to Hogan’s Bakery for judging our “Donut Design” persuasive writing contest and providing these tasty treats! 🍩😋

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

Learning about simple machines and scale dimensions led to our students collaborating to build a playground design for our school! Very proud of their hard work and final products!

4th grade at Leetonia has really been enjoying our book study on “The One and Only Ivan!” We made comic strips that depict chapters in the book and used dialogue to practice our quotation marks!

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

And just like that state testing is over for the year! Hopefully the donut theme helped our kiddos at Leetonia Elementary 🍩✏️ “Donut stress, just do your best!”

As we learn about the Mayan Empire and weathering, our 4th graders built pyramids that have hidden seeds planted inside! We are anxiously awaiting the results of weathering on our Mayan pyramids throughout the rest of the school year! #ourbmsa

Hot off the press: Edition 1 of the Biomed Buzz! A few of my virtual 4th grade students worked so hard to challenge themselves to serve our school while they are learning online! The result was informative and engaging school newspaper! #ourbmsa

We used this artistic display to grow in our knowledge of the 3 branches of government! The kids had a blast unlike my husband who cut out 100 little leaves for this project the night before...

Our kids are working on 3D topographic models of each state in the US! Using salt dough, paint, and their creative minds, they constructed an amazing display of the elevation throughout our country! #ourbmsa

Our fourth graders collaborated on a Geologic Timeline project this past week. We integrated our Social Studies and Science classes to apply investigation of fossils, research, and timelines! Always blown away by their hard work and collaboration! #ourbmsa

@saratruebridge @dlpetrie69 What do you suggest be used to prevent this from happening? #resiliencechat

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@Bhsteeler I am definitely interested in coaching! That's such a great way for students to help one another #resiliencechat

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@saratruebridge I definitely am! Any advice as teachers on how to make sure you have those ops and make an impact? #resiliencechat

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@dlpetrie69 That is so cool! I think its great that schools offer those kinds of meaningful opportunities for students #resiliencechat

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@saratruebridge @nicolehauskins @LDJr_Mrs That's true! Kids can tell the difference between sincere and fake care from their teachers #resiliencechat

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@Bhsteeler That's a great idea! I've never experienced that before in observations or my own experiences #resiliencechat

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@KC_SEASportsFan Great idea! I'll have to start brainstorming already and come up with different ways by learning from other educators! #kinderchat

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@Hahne_KingEle Thanks so much! I appreciate your response and advice! #tlap

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@FitzgeraldMY4 @MrsCford_tweets GREAT idea, sketchnoting is a great way for me to visualize my learning and I think it can be great for ALL ages! #tlap

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@MrsCford_tweets I love that idea! I think I should even think about sketchnoting to keep myself focused and engaged! #tlap

[Mrs. Thomas @mrsemmagthomas]

@FitzgeraldMY4 I agree! This tool is so fun and new! I can really see students loving QR codes and augmented reality #tlap
