Administer a ‘Name Quiz’ in class. Don’t grade it, of course, just use it for feedback to check classroom community.
How did they do?
If the results signal a need to go deeper, check out the Building Classroom Community Micro-Credential.

Very cool idea!
The Design Lab Playdates start this week! The playdates are an opportunity for K-12 educators/mentors to get hands-on with a wide variety of the tech, computer science & computational thinking resources that you can then share with the youth in your life. cvillecscommunity.org/playda…

Cool resource, but remember "free" does not mean "openly-licensed." Always read Terms of Use: Mathigon's say "not to archive, reproduce, distribute, modify, display, perform, publish, license, create derivative works" Create a link to their site instead.
If you’re teaching sequences, check out the amazing free resources @MathigonOrg. Today precalc ss at #WeAreChappaqua got to explore and #MathPlay with the Fibonacci sequence while analyzing “ideal vs real” conditions 🐇🐰
