Today, I admitted to my Ss that I had a T fail and did not help them learn the way I should have. One of my Ss said, “You made a mistake! That’s amazing! Time to grow!” I’m grateful my Ss help me celebrate my mistakes, like we celebrate each other’s. #NHLevelUp #NHEVoyagers

Obsessed is putting it lightly! Ss applied their graphing and geometry skills to plot and identify quadrilaterals. Then, they used their coding skills to trace their quadrilaterals! Can you tell what shapes they plotted? #EveryKidEveryDay #NHVoyagers

We ❤️ data here @NHVoyagers! Today, Ss used data from @Data_Nuggets to create a giant graph and interpret trends from the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. Collaboration, group discussions, and intentional math work. Thanks @Carson_Jen_E for this amazing resource!

Nothing, I mean nothing, beats hearing your name excitedly yelled because they need to show you the amazing thing they found in nature. Had a lot of that today 🫶🏻 #NHEVoyagers #EveryKidEveryDay

It was great having some of the @DukeFOOTBALL team stop by and hang out with our 4th & 5th graders. I don’t know who had more fun! #GoDuke #EveryKidEveryDay #DefyingGravity

Too many people to thank for their part in supporting our 5th Grade PBL! Math, reading, writing, budget skills, and science were all applied while building model homes ready to withstand a hurricane! Excited to test and reflect tomorrow! #NHVoyagers @NHVoyagers @OrangeCoSchools

Can’t thank @DukeMBB enough for coming to share with our 5th graders today! What a special visit! Our scholars learned all about how these student-athletes balance their academics while dealing with the demands of basketball #EveryKidEveryDay #NHVoyagers #TheBrotherhood #GoDuke

Thanks @DukeMBB for coming to read and talk with with 5th grade @NHVoyagers! We loved learning about Michael Jordan’s launch into basketball, what it’s like to be a student athlete, and of course, what food is like in college! #NewHopeVoyagers #EveryKidEveryDay

Thank you OCS & @NHVoyagers math team (@Stef_Bordeaux) for sharing meaningful practices we can bring into the classroom. The 1-100 activity by Sara VanDerWerf was fun & invited meaningful reflection about what it looks/feels like to work in groups! Obsessed! #NHVoyagers

Remember her by spreading her kindness and laughter ♥️ Mrs. Fish leaves some huge shoes to fill in Mooney.
Jennifer Fish, associate director of Elon University’s Teaching Fellows Program, died unexpectedly the morning of May 7 due to illness. A Gathering of Friends will be held at 4:30 p.m. on May 8 in the sacred space of Numen Lumen to honor her life https://t.co/P0YCa6zHOu
