What an exciting first day! We started the year discussing productive group work with using @saravdwerf 1-100 task at our vertical whiteboards. I am looking forward to a year of THINKING in our math classroom! #KISDFirstDay #KisdMathSquad #buildingthinkingclassroom – at Keller, TX
Fun with (math) facts Friday @IndianSpringsMS
Started with Four Fours activity, then an @openmiddle problem to review function notation and finished up with @MathMedic arithmetic sequence problem. @thinkingclssrms
We embraced the “building thinking classrooms” today in Algebra. Thank you @reci_brooks and @AshleyR_KISD for challenging us to let students do the thinking. I had several “lightbulb” and “minds blown” moments today!
We would LOVE to have as many people as possible come and celebrate @TroudtSandy She is our fearless leader, biggest cheerleader and encourager but most importantly, she is our FRIEND! @IndianSpringsMS is a better place because of her dedication and leadership. – at North Richland Hills, TX
We finally got to read the next book from home and added some crowd participation. The weather was gorgeous! I’m getting to see their fun personalities. Reading kid books in Algebra is so much fun! #celebrateKISD #nevertoooldforbooks #EaglePride – at Keller, TX
Last week on “World Read Aloud Day” I read a picture book to my 5th pd. They asked to do it each week. Today, a student brought a favorite book from home and “read aloud” to the in class and Zoom students. Now they are fighting for next week’s book. #celebrateKISD #mathcanread – at Keller, TX
All the emotions!!!! Thank you @KHSIndianNation for continuing the freshman letters to teachers. I cried ugly tears when I read each letter! I miss these kids and loathe the fact I didn’t get to have a full year. This group will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart!

Spirit Week @IndianSpringsMS - Zoom Meetings for EVERYONE! #TalonsUp #EaglePride – at North Richland Hills, TX
ISMS version of “supermarket sweep”. I packed up what I need for virtual learning and got to briefly see my peeps - keeping a social distance of course! #TalonsUp #celebrateKISD #KISDMathSquad
While I listen to @DrRDubKellerISD give us an update of “expectations”, I realize I’m in the comfort of my home in “comfy pants” and know I’m exactly where Inshould be. At this point, on this day, with these people, I am fulfilling my purpose. Life happens...live in the moment!

I have been blessed with sweet notes and treats from my students thanks to @IsmsSTUCO @IndianSpringsMS! I’m so fortunate to have wonderful co-workers like @mrsgoree102 and @SkordinskiKaren who encourage our students to bless others. #TalonsUp #ismsforever – at North Richland Hills, TX
