Research shows writing by hand leads to better recognition and understanding of letters. It also improves memory and recall of words. Handwriting Helps Kids Learn. Here’s How to Make the Most of It https://t.co/awE0iBMclb

Experimenting with speed and push during our Force Olympics unit in Mystery Science! Knock down the wall but don’t knock down the houses! @HorizonPhm

Human Bumper Bowling in our Mystery Science lesson! They loved it!

Another huge update from @seesaw! I tried it out (beta) this summer and the possibilities are endless! I can definitely use this with my @modernclassproj lessons!

Here’s a session you won’t want to miss! Learn more about @modernclassproj from @MLeniski! I love implementing this in my primary classroom and she’s a pro!

The Wallicks @MrWallick take on Get Your Teach On/Get Your Lead On! Wow! It was a fun filled day of learning with engaging sessions. Thanks for hosting SBCSC! Can’t wait to come back for day two! #getyourteachon #gytoindiana2023

Kindergarten graduation went fabulous! They loved creating these graduation dresses for us. This little family we’ve created this year is so special to me, and I will miss them so! They have learned so much and are ready for 1st grade! @HorizonPhm

Thanks to the kindergarten teacher at your school for the inspiration, @lindsayhelman!

This week we learned when to use a c and when to use a k at the beginning of a word in Fundations. The Spheros made it even more engaging as we practiced writing. @SpheroEdu @HorizonPhm

Some very creative polar bear dens were created by our Kindergartners! @HorizonPhm #PHMexcellence

As we are wrapping up our first math unit using the @modernclassproj model, I asked our Kinders what they thought. They said, “It makes me explode with happiness!” All this prep makes it worth it. #k2cantoo @HorizonPhm #phmexcellence

I am one proud teacher! I was out yesterday for a meeting and not only had a great note of praise from my guest teacher but also from our classroom educational assistant!

Here we go! Our first day of @modernclassproj in kindergarten was a success. They are really excited about their math paths! @Screencastify @Seesaw #PHMExcellence @HorizonPhm

I’m excited (and nervous!) to implement MCP in our kindergarten math class for the very first time along with my teaching partner next door! Here we go! #MCPchat

Spent my day with these hard working, engaged little elves during our Santa’s Workshop! They said, “Santa needs us! We better get to work!” #thewildcard #phmexcellence @HorizonPhm

To celebrate Hour of Code last week we programmed gingerbread to get to a gingerbread house by collecting treats and jumping over an enemy! #HourOfCode #unplugged #k2cantoo

We were THRILLED to get to use the Spheros for the very first time in kindergarten today! We learned how to connect, change the lights, and drive! Thank you so much @PHMEdFoundation and donors for getting Spheros into every building in PHM!

Our kindergarten turkey in disguise projects have been a hit! “I’m not a turkey! I’m Michael Mayer @MMayer1001 !” @NDFootball @ChatterPixIt @Seesaw #littleNDfan

Over the last several weeks our ⁦@HorizonPhm⁩ 3rd graders had the opportunity to participate in Short Circuits and work with our Penn Robotics team on a Sphero challenge! It was a great partnership for all involved! Thank you ⁦@PHMEdFoundation⁩ and sponsors! ⁦

Our district-wide Sphero program is off to a fantastic start! This afternoon 3rd graders at all 11 PHM elementary schools had fun learning the fundamentals of robotics @pennpride365 @FRCTeams @phmschools @FIRSTINRobotics #phmexcellence #robotics #team135 #omgrobots #team135pride
