Here is another @smithsonianlab from @eroteaches . I'm loving the see, think, wonder routine for this activity. @CrossfieldES @xfieldthinks

[Cindy Bruzzese @MrsBruzzese]

And.....here's your follow up question.... @CrossfieldES @xfieldthinks

[FCPS AAP @fcpsaap]

It's important to consider how our decisions impact the outcomes of every aspect of life. Practice the CCT skill Decisions and Outcomes with the Aesop Fable, The Bear and The Bees, from the Library of Congress: https://t.co/sohVn0ACHm. What decisions did bear make? #CCTatHome

Checking in and curious. What are you up to?

[Barbara Fant @bdfant]

Draw not doodle. Math is not gender nor genetics based. New perspectives on growth mindset. Many provoking perspectives...worth a read. Check the research. Food for reflection...@CrossfieldES @xfieldthinks

Our first Socratic Seminar was an exercise in communication using the skill of listening and asking qestions so I can understand. #POG @CrossfieldES @fcpsaap

[Cindy Bruzzese @MrsBruzzese]

Second round was smoother. "I agree with Mr. K that these rules..however..." It was nice to have your point of view heard and not have someone argue back at you. @CrossfieldES @xfieldthinks

Thanks to the generous @CrossfieldPTO, iLab Ss are learning to play @BrainSpinGame. Fits PERFECTLY w/ @fcpsaap CCTS Fluency and Flexibility & Visualization. Our Ss know to look at things in a different way!

@BookyBaucum, @xfieldthinks Heather Baucum presenting to an interested and engaged crowd of librarians at AASL 2019 in Louisville, KY on tools and ways to make learning accessible. #AASL19

[xfieldthinks @xfieldthinks]

@BookyBaucum @T3Crossfield She sure does!

[xfieldthinks @xfieldthinks]

Strategy games have been an important learning tool for AAP in FCPS. Many schools like ours @CrossfieldES have “structured” game time. Imagine how many of our 9 CCT skills are being directly taught and practiced: decisions & outcomes, visualization, questioning, FFOE, POV...

[Barbara Fant @bdfant]

Strategy games have long been research supported tools for problem solving and critical thinking; self-regulation is another to consider.

Meeting our new staff members was wonderful. Welcome to Crossfield!
