Today I was introduced to a little of the meaning and history of Peking Opera Masks. With a theme around "the masks we wear" we were able to reflect and then bring our ideas to life!

The challenge: watch the same instructional video through once and then see what we get. House Orange rocked it even with limited time!

Making observations and working on capturing what we see. #kispride @kispride

Human connection and the feeling of being seen and supported are most likely to motivate students to lean into learning.

Today I'm thankful for my amazing colleagues who are always happy to help encourage a love for learning for they students and my own child. Thanks for capturing this moment @Sharon_Surette! @kispride #kispride

The best part about giving feedback to students is seeing their faces when the light bulb comes on and they get it.

I am so proud of the brave steps my grade 6 students are taking to better share their learning. #kispride

G8 students collecting data and asking questions to push their understanding to the next level. Thanks @Sharon_Surette for letting me join the fun! @kispride

Modeling is a great way for learners to share their understanding. This year Ss had to get the water from far away into my coffee cup. You know connections are happening when I'm in a mask and my son is included in the adventure.

[Karen Jung @Karenjung20]

Love this. So true!

[Stephanie Abel @swabel11]

Creating a model and sharing ideas can be scary. Using whiteboards communicates that it is okay to make mistakes because we are all learning. So proud of these great 1st attempt models from my G6 learners! #kispride @kispride

G6 learners making observations about a closed system to kick off our next unit! #kispride @kispride

In this episode of The Balance, I chat w/Linwood Paul, an executive coach. His analogy that work is like a rubber ball & our relationships w/ourselves & others are like glass balls capable of shattering when dropped will stay w/me. https://t.co/fTgAo1dOKu… #Adminchat #education

Getting students back in the building and hearing them excitedly sharing their observations reminded me why I love to teach science. #kispride @kispride

[Dr. Catlin Tucker @Catlin_Tucker]

A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for the expression of ideas. How can we design learning so that EVERY student can share what they have learned? Universal Design for Learning & #BlendedLearning: Action & Expression https://t.co/zfss0IYLby #UDL #edchat #Adminchat
