Tried a new method today... Hexagonal thinking! Kiddos used this to make connections between the civilizations they just finished researching, each person in the group being the expert on a different civ. Thanks to my counterpart for sharing the idea and resources! 🖤💛

@MissBirie I just pull others' ideas into my room. Pinterest is my best friend. 🤣 It was fun though! 💚

Operation "Make the kids think they're excited about book circles through Starbooks" was a success! We had fun previewing our books that will tie in with our ancient civilization research and we learned a latte! ☕ #makelearningfun

How do you get students interested in 4,000 year old laws? Add construction paper! This one is from my original mentor @Ms_Gerbus and I've used it every year! Kids are SHOCKED to find out they would've had a hand cut off for slapping their parents. 😳

Did you know that adding washi tape to your desk makes small group 10x more engaging?! Kiddos at our Work with Teacher rotation during Workshop #1 collaborated to figure out which events should go where on the plot diagram. Doing what we can to #makelearningfun ! ❤️

[Amber Prater @WarriorPrater]

Always the goal 💙💚

Favorite day of the year and the only one I remember to post! Love to get my kiddos thinking about where books take us with this question and read-aloud. I was introduced to this fantastic picture book by a colleague a few years ago and have loved it ever since! #booktasting

We didn't let an afternoon power outage get in the way of deciding what our expectations for workshop should be! I love when students set their own expectations because they're usually harder on themselves than I am! #thankgoodnessihavewindows #letthestudentscreatetheiratmosphere

Our day starts with @ReynSchools professional development focused on equity & social justice with @ClintSmithIII discussing teaching critical consciousness & developing empathy. If we are to bridge the gaps that separate us, these 2 tenets are crucial. #reynproud #changetheworld

@madamednmichael @Ms_Ross_English @ReynSchools @BeSTEMmersed @REYN_JediMaster @PryorHistory72 @mrsupeRscience @MsOCforEd @MsWalker_FR @profe_hanna @cgradywatts I couldn't have said it better myself @madamednmichael! Constantly listening, reflecting, and changing. I have learned so much, but have SO MUCH MORE to learn!

@Ms_Gerbus @misswire_reyn Thank you for being our mentor and sharing your experience with us! I wouldn't be the teacher I am without what I've learned from you! 💜💛💜💛

The kiddos attended boot camp to review expectations, set new goals, and work on content when they returned from break on Tuesday. They didn't mind the work... Or the workouts! 💪 #reynproud #reynmemories @BR_STEM

@jaredball99 We're thankful to have awesome, supportive administrators!

[Amber Prater @WarriorPrater]

Our favorite day of the year... Book tasting! It's always incredible to see my students get so excited about books... And even more exciting to see kiddos who HATE reading, writing titles down on their "Must Read" list 😭 My heart is full! ♥️📚 @BR_STEM #reynproud #reynmemories

[Amber Prater @WarriorPrater]

Today my sixth grade kiddos @BR_STEM walked in to this question on the board. They were shocked! How did we travel for that cheap?... Books! Reading takes us places! ♥️ Can't wait for our book tasting tomorrow! 📚 #reynproud #reynmemories #reading

[Amber Prater @WarriorPrater]

Yesterday, we reviewed classroom procedures using the school version of Hedbanz! The kiddos were in dire need of a brain break after testing... This did the trick! @BR_STEM #reynproud #reynmemories #sixthgradeisfun

@support_a_teach @HelpATeacher I'm a sixth grade ELA/SS teacher who loves to do mulit-day transformations! Hoping to add two this year using a lot of the items on my list! Student engagement is so high during these transformations! 😍 https://t.co/b02fRGXm3G

[Amber Prater @WarriorPrater]

I blame @jk_rowling for my need to #clearthelist. 😂 She made me love reading when I was in sixth grade so now I hope to bring that same love and excitement to my kiddos through our HP transformation this year! If anyone would like to help, link is below! https://t.co/b02fRGXm3G

[Amber Prater @WarriorPrater]

So blessed to be able to teach with these beauties... I can't imagine life without them! Just like that, year two is in the books and we are headed for year three! #throughwithyeartwo #reynproud

[Amber Prater @WarriorPrater]

@Rossi_Reyn @BR_STEM Thank you!!
