Face painting was so fun for field day! I’ll miss my goofy 6th graders but they will be amazing next year! #ourbmsa

Acts of kindness that feel small to us have a big impact on others. Research: kids and adults underestimate how tiny acts of generosity lift others' moods. There's no easier way to make someone's day than to offer a compliment, give a little gift, or send a handwritten note.

The use of talking pieces during collaboration is a game changer for your classroom dynamic. I’m so proud of how effectively third graders can exchange ideas in a respectful and productive way! #ourBMSA #OAISS #collaboration #myteacherheartisfull

Its interesting that in Finland, schools avg 5 hours per day and yet fit in 15 mins of recess every hour, but in the US we go 7 +hours and can’t fit in 10 mins total for recess.

6th grade will be finishing their Agamographs this week! Agamographs are so named for Israeli artist Yaakov Agam. One side shows their true self, while the other side shows the ‘self’ that others see. Here’s a sneak peek at one that is finished! #ourbmsa #OAISS

5th graders are talking about assumptions. This class in particular went deep.

If unconditional love and genuine enthusiasm are present, praise isn’t necessary. If they’re absent, praise won’t help.

Regular breaks throughout the school day—from short brain breaks in the classroom to the longer break of recess—are not simply downtime for students. Brain breaks have been shown to increase student productivity and provide them with opportunities to develop creativity.
