When your class writes a persuasive letter to the principal with a convincing argument that our school mascot should have a name, they get to present the winning name to the school at our pep rally! 💚🧸

@mrsrepprocks @wcpsmd @CourtneyLeard @tamsyn78 * No one caught dysentery in the making of this quilt

[Adrienne Tew, NBCT @mrstewsteaching]

This 2nd grade team @BesterWCPS makes learning come alive with teamwork and creativity! Here is our culminating activity for our Westward Expansion unit. This quilt represents different lessons taught in the unit and showcases important phrases and vocabulary words. @tamsyn78

[Adrienne Tew, NBCT @mrstewsteaching]

How do we spice up our unit on the Westward Expansion? Dress up like pioneer women to deliver the lesson on the Oregon Trail! Our students are beggin for Martha and Mary to come back for another lesson. @BeserWCPS @tamsyn78 @mrsrepprocks

@mrsrepprocks I find it funny that our sketches look very similar.

The BESTer 2nd grade readers and writers used musical pair and share to give feedback to peers about their writing! @CourtneyLeard @ridgelor @tamsyn78 @drwilliamsonBES @RRothAP

[Adrienne Tew, NBCT @mrstewsteaching]

The BESTer 2nd grade mathematicians created success criteria to help them solve word problems yesterday. Today they used the SC to give peer feedback, edit their work, and type their response! @wcpsHersh @MaryAnnNussear @elemmathgurl @drwilliamsonBES @tamsyn78

BESTer 2nd Gr scientists tested their boat designs today and discussed changes they would make to their designs next time! @tamsyn78 @drwilliamsonBES @EllistarTara

[Tyler Stanton @MsStanton1]

Some of the BEST 2nd graders are using problem solving success criteria to efficiently solve story problems. @drwilliamsonBES @mrstewsteaching @tamsyn78 @elemmathgurl @MaryAnnNussear

[Adrienne Tew, NBCT @mrstewsteaching]

@CourtneyLeard @mrsrepprocks @BesterWCPS @ridgelor This made me so happy

[Adrienne Tew, NBCT @mrstewsteaching]

The BESTer 2nd Grade scientists planned an investigation today to build the BEST boats they could. They used the propteries of materials to observe and make a claim based on their evidence @EllistarTara @drwilliamsonBES @tamsyn78 @RRothAP

[Adrienne Tew, NBCT @mrstewsteaching]

BESTer 2nd grade scientists worked on making their observations and evidence detailed and clear today by observing trees and using their Observation Must Haves!

@Burkhart87 great workshop yesterday 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 EXACTLY what we needed to kick off the start of a great experience!

[Dr. David Sovine @DaveSovine]

Maryland Teacher Residency Program—Excited to see a full group of teacher residents supported by their mentors in today’s professional learning session! Another great example of how @wcpsmd is leading the way to provide a talented and diverse teacher workforce. @Burkhart87

[Adrienne Tew, NBCT @mrstewsteaching]

BESTer students made our first attempt at applying our Success Criteria to self/peer assess and edit responses from yesterday. We used the symbols to mark where in their responses you could find evidence of each criteria! @tamsyn78 @drwilliamsonBES @MaryAnnNussear @wcpsHersh

[Adrienne Tew, NBCT @mrstewsteaching]

All pupil response cards were a big hit today! Students self assessed where they were at on the progression of learning! Thanks @MsStanton1 for creating them! @drwilliamsonBES @tamsyn78 @RRothAP

[Adrienne Tew, NBCT @mrstewsteaching]

Inspired by @GregJWolcott…using CHAMPS with student modeled pictures to give students clarity on classroom expectations! @tamsyn78 @drwilliamsonBES @RRothAP @MsStanton1

The BEST mathematicians selected an efficient strategy to solve equations in their independent center time! @tamsyn78 @drwilliamsonBES @MsStanton1 @RRothAP @wcpsHersh @MaryAnnNussear @elemmathgurl
