I’ve been student teaching in JK at the same school all year. Today a 1st grader came in my room and yelled this...

Her: CONGRATULATIONS!! 🤗
Me: For what?!?
Her: You’re a real teacher now!!!
Me: Dies laughing knowing I was just subbing in JK for the day 😂

During teacher inservice on Friday Jaclyn presented a gimkit activity to all the teachers! I even managed to get 2nd place! Thanks @DSUteach and @danklumper for teaching us fun ways to learn and have fun with technology.

The battle is here...

[Kevin Smith @kevinsmithsd]

#ChasingEinstein ends tomorrow @ 5 PM. Will Apple Pi hang on for the win? Will the Mathmagicians, Master Minds, Team Awesome, A Fraction Ahead, Puzzle Power, or The Blazing Einsteins catch them? @RamesTaylor @Ms_Martens_ @BaileyMoody15 @alexandra_dsu @BrenRaee @TaylerLogue

We need to always be reflecting on our lessons. We should be reflecting to know where to go next and also to know how we can better our lessons for next time. Just like we want the students to always be improving we should also improve our teaching. #dsumath @kevinsmithsd

[Taylor Martens @Ms_Martens_]

Ask students thought-provoking questions that get them thinking. We want students to think through the whole problem not just about what the correct answer should be. Understanding WHY the answer is correct is so important. #dsumath @kevinsmithsd

[Taylor Martens @Ms_Martens_]

There are so many strategies students can use to solve math problems. Before being able to effectively use these strategies they need to first be able to understand what the problem is trying to say.

Your students may not always remember every lesson you teach them but they will remember how you made them feel in your classroom! #dsu360 #SpringBreakROD

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

We must instill a love of reading early and often...and continue that through the rest of kids' schooling! #teachergoals

"Planning a math lesson requires planning for what your students will learn during a lesson, not just what they will do." #dsumath #chap9 @kevinsmithsd

[Taylor Martens @Ms_Martens_]

This is a good example of how persevering through problems can help lead to great destinations. #dsumath #kevinsmithsd

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Students only see what people are and what they can do, not what it took to get there. Celebrate and embrace the journey, failures, and triumphs. #growthmindset #teachergoals

Q7: I want to set myself a limit for how late I stay up at night. I am definitely a night person, but if I were to go to bed earlier it would also help me accomplish more during the day. #tlap

[Taylor Martens @Ms_Martens_]

A6: Making lists and working on my homework right away could really help me simplify my life. #tlap

[Taylor Martens @Ms_Martens_]

A5: I plan on taking 5-10 minutes between my homework tomorrow to sit back and relax before getting back to my work. Breaks are important to take or you are going to feel overwhelmed. #tlap

[Taylor Martens @Ms_Martens_]

A4: I think as adults we begin to think we don't have time for "play", but it is important to go out and do the things we enjoy. If we don't we will get burned out. #tlap

[Taylor Martens @Ms_Martens_]

A3: Currently when I need a break I relax and watch Netflix. I do this because I can just sit back and not think so much for a little while! #tlap
