Monica the Elf-alotl on a shelf-alotl is at it again. She's examining growing tissues to learn about how she grew from a zygote into an adult, but she can't see anything do you see her mistakes?
My Ss made us an Elf-alotl on the shelf----alotl. Monica is making phenomon themed mischief during our Axolotl (making cells) unit. The Ss spotted the mistake in the DNA can U? #Punnybiojokes #Creativekids #phenomeonmakesitstick
Tracking sense-making of the phenomenon. Ss generate ❓ which drive our investigations. As we answer our ❓we generate new ones. Anchor charts allow us to see where we have been and where we are going so that we remember our purpose and see the big picture. #NGSS #studentcentered

I used to think the volume of the classroom dictated the quality of the teacher. I now know learning can be loud and can be messy. Loud classrooms aren’t necessarily managed poorly and quiet ones don’t always indicate learning is happening. – at Essex, Ontario
Assessing prior knowledge can & should inform instruction. Ss were not at consensus on what plants need, so we are conducting experiments to gather the evidence we need to answer our own questions. #NGSS #studentscientists #motivationmonday

We know it takes more than just believing in a child to get them on their path to success, but if we don’t believe it can happen, then it will be a lot less likely to happen. Let’s choose to believe. #Recalibrate.

It makes my heart so full every time a class spontaneously starts singing while they work. That happened a lot this year. I'll miss them as they move to the HS. 🎤 #biokaraoke
