Time for building relationships is never wasted time. “Head, Shoulders, Knees, COLOR!” This activity I learned about from an amazing teacher at Tumbleweed Elementary and modified / gamified. Directions in video 🎥 Have fun 🤩 and share with your teachers and school.

When I got sick of being required to change the learning target and success criteria every day (because how does that make sense for kids in being able to see purpose and growth?), I started making posters of my learning progressions and putting them on my wall instead.
