@GovAbbott @teainfo Um. Here’s an idea. Hop on literally any social media platform & you’ll have all the answers you want.
✨OR✨
Ask the people in the actual classrooms, on campuses at the ground level. Not a task force under Mike Morath.
Don’t even get me started on state testing. Hard. Pass.

Fact: Math is more fun with food.
I don’t make the rules. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
Graphing activities today for my kids…trying not to eat the leftover bags of M&Ms for me!

This week in #thirdgrade’s critical writing examples! Division and divisibility rules for even and odd. I’m so proud of how quick students are picking up explaining their work and answering the question “how do you know?” #criticalwriting #math #growinggreatness

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

More critical writing this week in 3rd grade! Students are getting more comfortable writing about math & explaining why/how they know w/ words. It’s a great closing to a lesson & lets me get a quick peak @ misconceptions to address the next day. #GrowingGreatness #CriticalWriting

This week in #3rdGrade it’s all about #multiplication! Students are remembering connections from last week and challenging me to #bumpit matches at my teacher table. 😍 #iteachthird #texasteachers #mathteacher #multiplicationgames #mathfacts #criticalwriting

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

Today in #3rdGrade Pop-It Multiplication! Students are building and modeling arrays using Pop-its! Talk about engaging work!! #popits #math #iteachmath #handsonmath

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

Always learning! Multiplication concepts start Tuesday!! #iteachthird #math #iteachmath #texasteachers #multiplicationfacts

Lots going on in #thirdgrade ! Yesterday students had a perimeter challenge as part of station work. They worked in teams to take & plot the coordinates to make a shape in Quadrilateral Bay. Once they discovered their shape, they had to find the perimeter. #iteachthird #math

@MrWilliamsEDU @ShellyMorrill I L😍VE @ShellyMorrill! She’s amazing!!! Small world!!

#CriticalWriting in #math can be HARD! It’s still a work in progress, but kids are doing great! 🤩 I♥️ these examples this week! They know my 1st favorite ? is “why” & my 2nd is “how”. Can you explain it in words? A student even made a connection to what he’s learning in GT! 🥰

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

It’s a great feeling when you love your kids and what you do and for others to see, recognize, and acknowledge that. It’s humbling and validating at the same time. Love my Thirdies!

This week in 3rd grade it’s all about rounding so we can estimate. Yesterday, students reviewed their rounding skills to the nearest 10 or 100 w/ 3 numbers of their choice by taking a multi-flow map and using it as a math function map! #thinkingmaps #thirdgrade #mathteacher

and how it just wasn’t hot enough to melt a marshmallow. But! It WAS hot enough during our second block to melt the end of the crayon a bit! #iteachthird #science #thirdgrade

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

#todayin3rdgrade we observed 👀 changes in states of matter with thermal energy ☀️!
Students made predictions on what would melt/what wouldn’t yesterday. Today we put those predictions to the test! We talked about why our cup of ice looked like it was sweating (condensation!)

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

Today in #3rdgrade we learned how to test temperature and properly read a thermometer! Students then wrote in their journal to tell me what the hardest part was. #iteachthird #science

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

Today we learned how to use a pan balance to measure mass. Students found the mass of different school supplies in grams. #iteachthird #science #panbalance #handson #investigate

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

Today in Math we defined ourselves using math equations! Then we shared out at table groups about our map so we could get to know each other better. Check out some these awesome examples!! 🤩 @AledoISD @holmesroom @shannatsu #GrowingGreatness #iteachthird #thinkingmaps #math

Coder 3rd Grade is ready for a great year! #BearcatsFirstDay

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

Here we go! Year 3 in 3rd Grade! Meet the Teacher tonight! So ready to meet my new Thirdies!! 🤩 #GrowingGreatness #texasteachers #iteachthird

[Stacey Hinkle @stacehinkle]

Slightly on the ✨chaotic✨ side up in here. BUT! It’s going to come together before Meet the Teacher Monday! 🤩
