One of my 4th graders asked a question about the instructions for a math problem. I replied “All of the information is in the task.” @AlexHorne would be proud!!

@BookOfTM @TarteAuCitron2x She’s my vote too. I also liked when she solved the team task and the guys didn’t even know because they weren’t listening to her!

@Andrea_Trudeau Be sure to stop by their capitol building. There’s a ton of great sculptures outside and then inside there’s great art too. If you enjoy chocolate there’s a shop nearby to enjoy.

Instead of looking at writing for each individual component,instead of having students look at checklists for each little thing …try this! The house analogy and these three questions have helped me over and over again!Try it and #letmeknowhowitgoes #writing #teaching #educacion

Love having this “living room” space in 4th grade as we heard about band and orchestra instruments they can try! #wearefieldd205 @FieldD205 @ElmhurstD205

We are loving exploring the flexible work areas in our new classroom!!

During summer school we buddied with Ms. Murphy’s aspiring 2nd grade class. It was fun to work with them and get a chance to build LEGOs. @ElmhurstD205 @katiemurphy717
