It was a dino-mite day of #STEM teaching and learning! 578 students registered for a visit to @TCMIndy this morning and I think our @ButlerCOE juniors may have interacted with each one. 🦕🦖 It was extra special to work with @ButlerLabSchool visitors!

We loved reading “Save Me a Seat” by Gita Varadarajan and Sarah Weeks SO MUCH that it was a must to follow the recipe for Naan Khatais in the back of the book. Students discovered what cumin tasted like, a key ingredient in these Indian shortbread cookies!

My students decided to take stand and share their opinion about Imagine Math with the leaders of IPS. We've been blown away by the responses and support we've received from our school community and the district leaders! So proud of these advocates ❤ drive.google.com/file/d/17th…

2nd grade readers @NoraElem have been exploring digraphs and blends. A digraph is 2 letters= 1 sound! My students were excited to be learning about my good friends, the “h-brothers”! What are some other words that you can brainstorm?
