. @MrKitMath contributes to NEW @educationweek post, "Try These Simple Shifts in Teaching for a Big Payoff" edweek.org/teaching-learning…
Loving my new sticker created by our @LarsonMS Digital Apps students! They worked so hard to make it just right 😍

A great new 12 minute video from @BBCNews on the neuroplasticity of the brain! Lovely visuals & explanations to share with students.🧠💜

Science or math? Ss had a great time creating linear graphs to connect the meaning of y intercept and slope! Having a tangible activity to refer back to makes a huge difference in retention. @LarsonMS #LearnwithIM @pgliljedahl

Proud that our @LarsonMS math teachers were willing to open their classrooms and work with @OaklandSchools so educators could come see Building Thinking Classrooms in action. Always growing and improving focused on student learning. #LARSONstrong @PeterLiljedahl
7th/8th graders reflected on the ways teamwork and engagement affect our success. Each student made one focus goal centered around RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, RESILIENCE, and RELATIONSHIPS. They are displayed in the hallway to hold us accountable💙 #larsonSTRONG @LarsonMS

WEB leaders @LarsonMS did a fantastic job leading our 6th graders in conversations and activities that emphasized the power of questions! Leaders broke down the difference between open and closed questions, and discussed beneficial times to use each. LOVE this mentorship!! 💙🤍

So excited to start our new @LarsonMS STRONG format. 8th graders are putting service into action as they write cards, create placemats and door decorations for Veterans. Looking to brighten 💡 their holidays #LarsonSTRONG
You two are doing amazing things for our school community! 😍
So excited to be able to recognize and celebrate the work @MissMendola and @MrsParkerLMS have done so far with the @LarsonMS WEB program at the board meeting last night! Can’t wait to see it grow! The best is yet to come! #LarsonSTRONG

This is my favorite reflection activity. On the first day of school, I have students take a picture with this "I am a math person" frame and at the end of the course, I have them reflect on how they have grown in their mathematical abilities. Like, read this reflection 😭
ALT I am a math person because my mathematical abilities have grown significantly after taking the Math 100 class this semester. Throughout the course, I was able to pick up on new mathematical concepts and problem-solving techniques I never thought I could before. My analytical thinking has improved so much this semester that I feel confident approaching any math problem like never before. Now, I know that just because I find some math concepts difficult does not mean I am not a math person and am willing to learn how to tackle difficult problems. If you had asked me a few months ago if I was a math person, I would have answered “Nope,” but I am proud to say that this answer has forever changed thanks to Howie and my friends in Math 100 this semester.
Every day I start class with a question as a way to build community. On Fridays we give a positive shout out to each student. This move has been so impactful for everyone - I’m amazed at how much I’m learning about them and love seeing them share more each day! @LarsonMS

Today was filled with service, smiles, and sunshine! It was a beautiful day for leaf raking as our 8th graders @LarsonMS made a positive impact on our community. #LarsonStrong

What a beautiful day to help Troy People Concerned 🌤️💙 Our students @LarsonMS are making an impact in their community by raking leaves! Happy to be a part of this hard-working crew! #servicelearning @sralee300 @HadeelAbro @bzawislak5 @StephHenning_AP
This just came up with my students yesterday!! Students kept saying “I’m so confused.” I responded with, “I’m so glad! You must be learning!!” They then asked if I could make a giant sign for the room to remind them of this🤩🥳 #Resilience #GrowthMindset @LarsonMS
I want to print and laminate this so I can post it in my classroom. It is so good and such a great visual of #GrowthMindset
We had so much fun in math 7 tasting ratios of 3 different drink mixes! Our taste buds deceived us so we had to use math to find the sweetest drink... But we realized they were actually the same recipe! @LarsonMS @IllustrateMath
Had to shout out these @LarsonMS STRONG students! They saw a mess, took responsibility and cleaned it up so no one slipped!!! Love these guys!!

🤐 A simple tactic in negotiations? Just... pause.
New research from MIT shows that periods of silence often lead to breakthroughs.
Silence = power.
