I wasn’t ready to say “goodbye” to my students for the entire school year...

This group was so special to me - I don’t know what else to say.

Intrigued by this article, tried it out in my 7th grade math classes. Loved the results and the level of engagement and passion it brought out in my students. Thanks edutopia. #studentengagement

Just hosted my first digital study session! Students logged in from home and we got to chat through Padlet while playing a review game on @quizizz ! Hopefully this is the first of many!

The idea of a 3D shape being laid flat to find surface area is a difficult concept to grasp... Until now! Loved these pull-up shapes we made today for surface area and volume! #svusdshines

"I have never taught a perfect lesson and probably never will.  If you can have a growth mindset in your teaching, not expect perfection, and continually strive to get better, you will be just fine."

A must-read! 🔽🔽

A must-read! 💯

The positive energy of the T is the single most important factor in determining the climate of the classroom.
