To finish up our unit on animals, a parent brought in her bearded dragon for us to see! Sahara has camouflaging skin, a third eye on the top of her head to see predators, and changes colors to absorb heat. Every kid got to pet her and I held her! @MountainViewJCS@jcityTNschools
Do you want to have total chaos at school In the morning? It's the Annual STAFF Easter Egg Hunt - it's ON! ๐ฐ๐ฅ @MountainViewJCS !!! Teachers are VERY competitive! Look at @MsDosserTN finding one! #EasterEggs@jcityTNschools
Students are learning about magnets this week! Todayโs challenge: make your car move without touching it. It was tricky!!! #JCSTechleads@MountainViewJCS
We went fishing!!! Students had to make a fishing rod and fish for snacks while preserving biodiversity in their lakes. Some lakes faired better than others. The poor pretzel fish were an easy target. #JCSTechLeads@ProfChrisBowen
After our trip to @northeaststate this spring, Iโve been encouraging parents and students to keep community college in mind as an option! Itโs a ways away, but itโs a valid and important opportunity for all TN grads.
We have the latest student enrollment data for fall 2023! 214,476 students across the state enrolled at community colleges and public universities for fall 2023. This represents an increase of 4,528 students, a 2.2% increase from fall 2022. More here: https://t.co/oa9od93oKK
Yesterday we tried Building Thinking Classrooms for the first time! Students were given a challenging multiplication problem and asked to write a word problem and use the distributive property to solve it. Whoever was holding the marker was not aloud to speak!
Johnson City Teachers! Mark your calendars for July 25th and sign up for this summer's technology academy using the PD registration on your portal. It's going to be a good one! #JCSTechLeads@jcityTNschools
