I pocket acorns as I walk. I recently emptied the contents of my coat and the autumnal diversity is just 😮‍💨🤌

If I weren’t a teacher, I’d be a florist or a children’s librarian.

It makes me giggle to think of Mrs. Patel or Mr. Sanborn rocking fancy shoes. 👠
First grader: When I grow up, I want to be a principal! Me: That’s awesome! You will be great! What made you decide to be a principal? First grader: You get to walk around in fancy shoes just saying hello to everyone all day. Me: 😳

This illusion where you see a 3 dimensional cube even though it’s not there a shape is made that is adjusted by your point of view This type of illusion where a distorted drawing appears normal when viewed from a particular point is called anamorphosis

Beautiful board. What an invitation. xitter.cf/OrlandoKristie/status/…
I love this idea for activating thinking and prior knowledge! This concept can totally be adapted for different content areas, too! What a great way to push thinking!

Looks like a math station!
Bought this shower curtain with the intention of cutting it up to make 5 and 10 frames. Having second thoughts after today!!
I’ve been in math talks that feel like this. I can’t love this video enough.
This is — and I can’t stress this enough — the greatest segment to come from a sports broadcast that I have ever seen in my entire life xitter.cf/NBAonTNT/status/989709…

Shout out to Alexandra, in @TrishOMalley112’s math class, who noticed that she and I both had parallel lines on our shirts! Have any clothing with polygons? #mathwardrobe @Jaworek_School

A fifth grader just requested a special kind of sticker that I gave out weeks and weeks ago. Don't let anyone tell you big kids aren't motivated by stickers.

This is what the first few months of full-remote teaching felt like. Now I’m the one sitting on the floor.
Work hard, be confident, have fun, and learn to finish. @rexchapman xitter.cf/uzunkokcan/status/1005…
