Today's "glow" review showed students that "they've got this!" My favorite was the alien shadows and clock times 😊 We're ready for Science STAAR! @Handley_Panther #Levelup #GameOn
Retro post..."EVERYthing has a shadow, Ms. Strickland!" What a fun way to investigate the shadows of our "mini friends" on days when the Sun hid behind clouds. #makinglearningmemories #5thgrade #sciencefun @Handley_Panther
Putting the FUN back into the fundamentals of science...THIS is what I love about teaching! #messyscience #rocksandwich #goingrogue #5thgrade @Handley_Panther

It’s always a great day when you get to work with amazing people. 🎉
I can’t say enough about the collaboration happening in this @gisdnews AI Task Force. I can’t wait to reconvene next week!
Our "Egg Hunt" review was fun and informative as students hopped around answering Qs, using evidence and strategies, collaborating, and finding eggs filled with prompts...OR CANDY! 🤣Lots of laughter while learning! #5thgraderocks #readingisFUNdamental @Handley_Panther
Main idea and @munilong...what an AWESOME combo! The classroom vibe was chill; students locked in analyzing informational text for main ideas and supporting details. They created their own and then analyzed STAAR texts for the same. #highinterest #readingisFUNdamental #5thgrade
Today was a GREAT DAY as we practiced our "Glow-Up" reviewing skills from our recent unit. The kids had so much fun answering questions...AND playing games. The glow alone impressed them! 🤣 What a great way to head into the weekend! #readingisFUNdamental @Handley_Panther
Today, "employees" at Mama Stricklini's Pizzaria continued to review for our CBA! As they practiced skills and leveled up, they were given ingredients to build up to a personalized pizza order! We're ready to tackle the test! @Handley_Panther #funin5th #readingisFUNdamental
Yesterday at "Mama Stricklini's Pizzaria" Sts pieced together the perfect recipe for SCRs while reviewing for our CBA. As "employees" worked, they were given ingredients for dough to build structures of Ancient Civilizations...drying for a paint finish! @Handley_Panther #funin5th
Inferences, evidence, context clues, collaboration, problem solving, SCR writing, and some SERIOUS fun! Today, Sts rvw'd as Handley detectives. We are constantly growing! #readingisFUNdamental @Handley_Panther
When intervention groups get intense! 🤣 Affixes battle with high engagement during our small group time. @Handley_Panther #5thgrade #digitalELAR I promise these pics are NOT staged 🤣🤣
Jamming with Google Jamboard and some SUPER SCR practice today! Sts loved collaborating to create those ✌🏾 pt responses. #firstpostoftheyear #5thgrade #friedwow @Handley_Panther @DigitalGISD
How did we prep for our ELAR STAAR? Baseball practice! Ss left with game tickets and showed up to "play ball" with passages and new question types. Testing might be going into the 10th inning 😫 but we're keeping this SAME energy for EVERY game! #pantherpride @Handley_Panther
Shoutout to the BEST Digital Learning Team that GISD can have! @DigitalGISD My unexpected swag bag was a delight to open at the end of a STAAR testing day! Thx! We LOVE Book Creator, and it was a joy finding out I am a top user of our district!! #digitallearning @Handley_Panther

It's official! @gimkit has another hit with the new #OneWayOut mode! Ss really enjoyed our revising and editing practice today and shared RAVE reviews with their excitement! #funlearning @Handley_Panther #gamifylearning #5thgrade
We've been hard at work practicing our ECRs. We've written as a group, rated samples using a rubric, and today, created an argument using Tevin Cambell's "Can We Talk" lyrics. Writing IS FUNdamental! #5thgrade @Handley_Panther
