Thank you IB MYP advisors and coordinators for helping your students complete their Personal Projects! You've given them an invaluable experience that will prepare them for future projects. #SPPSachieves @highlandsr_spps @StPaulCentral @Harding_Knights #ThankATeacher
Kids who read for pleasure do better in school, but how do you get them to pick up books in the first place? To encourage your kids, psychologist and author Daniel Willingham suggests framing reading as a personal pleasure and a family value. npr.org/sections/ed/20…
Give. Students. Time.
I love this teacher's idea for helping students: donorschoo.se/e/0RrFqg0D7N via @DonorsChoose
New resources alert! Have you seen the five new activity card sets which can be used in the classroom to program @scratch 3.0 with the #microbit? Plus, teachers can remix cards to create unique activities for their students. Give them a whirl! #ISTE18 microbit.org/scratch/
Use this strategy to grow and get better! #mncodes
