Looking forward to seeing this in action!
Appreciate the chance to work with @ArcadiaUnified coach @ziskaclass as we dive deeper into formulating a kinesthetic @ThinkingMaps mini lesson where 5th Ss must identify the relationship between their card and that of another S. Update to follow! @CaminoGrove @ReneeCostarella

So amazing to see plans come to life! Collaboration and critical thinking at its finest.
5th @CaminoGrove Ss used @ThinkingMaps to capture facts about pre-Colombian native people, then met in groups to jigsaw info. Coming up: gallery walk of all 24 maps, edits, then talking their own maps. @ReneeCostarella @ziskaclass @ArcadiaUnified

Our @CaminoGrove 5th gr Thinking Classroom exploring “How many 7s.” One marker per random group encourages S to articulate for accurate recording. Gallery walk confirmed many ways to approach the task. Bonus, it’s fun to move around! @ArcadiaUnified @ReneeCostarella @ziskaclass

Spent time after school with this fabulous crew! Retirees of Highland Oaks at their annual get together. All of my k-4 teachers and so many more. They continue to inspire me….to look forward to retirement :] #arcadiafirstday @ArcadiaUnified

As the new school year begins for many, I thought it might be helpful to share a thread of my favorite online resources for #teachers that are not Google Workspace tools. I don't work for any of these BTW.

This is so relevant now more than ever. Humble reminder to lead with grace, empathy, and patience. Everyone needs time to breathe at some point.
This is why we need to go beyond the surface when a student exhibits a behavior. 🙌

5th @CaminoGrove Ss couldn’t make it to @GriffithObserv this year, so the observatory came to us! “Clues from comets” presentation led to ?s from Ss about gravitational pull, white hole theory, space travel, and even perihelion 2021! @ArcadiaUnified @ziskaclass @cgyoungclass

It was perfect weather for 5th @CaminoGrove Ss to get outside and use @justmoteHQ to “talk the map.” @ziskaclass @cgyoungclass

At this time, @ArcadiaUnified classes are expected to continue as scheduled on Monday. However, it is understood that many students and their families, especially those at @AUSDHighlandOak and @FoothillsMS, may be impacted by the Bobcat Fire. 2/
