"When I like the teacher, I want to do their work. And I'll be like, 'I can learn this.'" Students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn, research shows.

Bingo! In 2nd grade we focus so much on citizenship 🇺🇸

[edutopia @edutopia]

“If we do not begin focusing on social studies in early grades, we'll continue to have young adults who lack critical knowledge about their government, how to engage in the democratic process, & our collective history.” Affect change in your class. 💪

My students love Bee Bots! I just found out that they now have an app where students can use Bee Bots virtually! 🐝 https://t.co/BkA2pf5UFY

I always love finding new technology resources to implement in my classroom. This year I tried @PlayBlooket. My kiddos were OBSESSED! It provided me with needed data and my students felt like they were playing a game. Win win!

Great article by NEA about evaluating tech tools to find the most beneficial and effective ones! https://t.co/pfBnJSjn9Z

THIS!!!

[edutopia @edutopia]

The research is clear: Let the children play—and not just during the summertime! If you want smart, healthy, well-rounded children, it pays to invest in recess.

[edutopia @edutopia]

Play-based learning can have a “greater positive effect” on the acquisition of early math skills, shape knowledge, and task switching than more traditional approaches that prioritize seat time and explicit instruction.

[Christyn Simmons @simmonsc4057]

I have seen so much about this lately! Can you imagine the student engagement we would see from this?!

[edutopia @edutopia]

Does #ISTELive23 have you thinking about teaching with games? 🤔

You can bring play, peer collaboration, and a creative twist to your classroom with Minecraft.

AMSTI directly impacts student achievement. The hands on manipulatives and tools for explicit instruction we receive make a huge difference in student engagement & mastery! I also love the continued PD they provide! Can’t wait for my math PD next month! @AMSTI_UM @AMSTI4all

[Christyn Simmons @simmonsc4057]

This is why parent conferences and frequent communication with them is so crucial! It takes a village!

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

90% of parents think their kids are on grade level in reading. There's a reality gap here.
