These kids asked to solve 999 × 99 and were so proud that they asked to get a picture with it. I'm so proud of this group of kiddos!

It's so important to support our students in everything they do! When this kid asked me to come to his football game (2 days into the school year) I knew I had to go!

One of my amazing students became a multiplication NINJA on Imagine Math!

She's the first in 5th grade to do so this year! Congrats!

I LOVE some pretty notes!
This student made a point to decorate her page and use neat handwriting, even though we had to practice writing without our thumbs to see how they are an important adaptation.

@fabulousin_4th @DukeElem @AlvinISD Yes! They're cute and relevant! I found them on @TpT_Official a while ago. Love that site!

[Amanda Barbee @MsBarbeesClass]

A teacher's job never stops. We're always working to improve ourselves, our skills, and our resources.
I actually love making and finding new tools and activities to use with my kids!

HACK TIME!
Has anyone else tried this trick for lining up letters for bulletin boards?
IT'S AMAZING!
Also, I'm so excited about my new school in @alvin_isd and can't wait to share more things this year ❤

Another day, another #STEM Challenge! Today we did one of my favorites, the @Pringles freestanding circle. What are some other fun #stemchallenge activities y'all like to do?

Today we built boats from aluminum foil and tested to see how many pennies they could hold before sinking. Our record was 216 pennies!! #STEM #STEMeducation #science #sciencehappens @AliefISD @AliefScience @YgbInt @YgbIntScience

Who doesn't love a good #STEM day?!?
Thanks to Mrs. Henington for having us all morning!

#TechTipTuesday
Use the drawing tool in @PearDeck to have students annotate an article. Everyone can see what students found important and use that to write notes, complete graphic organizers, have a discussion

[Amanda Barbee @MsBarbeesClass]

Look at these BEAUTIFUL and USEFUL notes one of my kiddos took today!!
I've been color coding the notes when I model for kids and now some of them do it too. I love when they use their strategies and get involved in their learning

My anchor charts may not be perfect, but they sure will be a helpful reference for my students

We used @PearDeck to review for our science DCA today. It was amazing to see responses in real time for both virtual and F2F kids!

✨ Instruction idea ✨
Today we used @quizlet to do a #quizletlive review of science vocabulary. We loved the new independent feature for live and we could have our virtual friends join us over zoom!
