Today our Kitty Hawk Air Society friends worked on teamwork with our 2nd graders! I think it’s safe to say they’re having tons of fun together, taking turns and cooperating while playing some games! @muhlsd @MSgtBeaver @leilamesinger @HornbergerMSD #MECpride #determinedtorise

"Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them." Watch Rita Pierson's full talk on the power of teachers: t.ted.com/dBwcIo6

Why Every Kid Needs a Champion

A rousing call to educators to believe in their students and actually connect with them on a real, human, personal level.

6️⃣4️⃣ Hours. On Monday mornings, this is how long it has been since some kids have had any positive interaction with an adult. Whether you are a teacher, bus driver, custodian, principal, or _______, how you greet your kids in the morning matters. Be the light! #multiplyexcellence

1st Grade took part in our Reading is Fundamental program. All 1st graders were able to choose a book and learn about the U.S. Forest Service. Smokey even made an appearance! Big thank you to all the staff members that put this together! @muhlsd #MECpride

Dog-crazy humans are so hopelessly partial to the animals that they might perceive emotional benefits that do not exist. Further research is needed, but many students and teachers swear by them @LindaFlanagan2 owl.li/s3Qz30nTrrn #edchat #comfortdogs #cpchat

Just because you need to teach the same standards as everyone else doesn't mean you have to teach them in the same way. #teachergoals

On morning meetings: “Before any learning can take place, the students really need to feel safe, feel like they’re seen, and feel like they’re cared about.”

They reduce tension and soothe anxiety, and elicit happy feelings from students, said one principal. And they're always with owners, on a leash for the kids who aren't so happy about dogs @LindaFlanagan2 bit.ly/2H6r3DU #edchat #therapydogs #parents

"Students are completely capable of doing their best work while stretched out on the classroom floor, sitting in an Adirondack chair, or even curled into a tire seat." One teacher’s experience. edut.to/2zmz86h

Stopped in to help @leilamesinger’s fabulous first grader’s get set up on their iPads. I was SO impressed by all the amazing things going on in this classroom, and loved getting to see flexible seating in action 🌟🙌🏻💙 #MECpride @muhlsd

Do flexible classrooms work? "[They] are successful because they go hand in hand with a change in pedagogy...Changing the layout of your classroom will almost certainly have no impact at all—if you don’t change your teaching too." edut.to/2wn9lZ6
