I’ve been wanting to try a Socratic Seminar all year. We prepared for it this week and finally had our seminar today. It was AWESOME! The Ss were so independent in leading conversation and citing evidence. Can’t wait to do it more next year! #HTWP4kids

This is why I love teaching! The kids make every day special. She will be a fabulous teacher one day! 📚

Students loved the surprise motivational quotes inside their privacy folders today! Planning on having students write motivational messages to put in the folders too! Think positive! 😃

Our class has enjoyed learning about the Navy by exchanging emails with my brother who is currently serving on the USS Abraham Lincoln. Then students made holiday cards to send to the sailors 😃 #htwp4kids #explore4more

Played some reindeer games to practice multiplication today. The kids had so much fun with it!

So great to see so many Harrison & Mantua Twp students at our Youth League Night tonight!

100th Day of School Cup Tower Challenge! Ss had to stack 100 cups to build the tallest tower. Then calculate the fractional and decimal amount of cups in each level.

Talking to our class on our first Google Hangout was the highlight of my week! It was so great to see all their smiling faces and feel the youthful energy! Mary Capone Harrison Township Schools @HTS & PVS #explore4more #distancelearning

It’s funny how we were happy to hear things seemed “regular.” Missing “regular” school day and our students! ❤️ Mary Capone #explore4more

A little motivation for our kiddos! 😂 Mary Capone

Last day with our 5th graders! Definitely a different feel for the last day of school, but we made the best of it and had lots of laughs playing charades. We did it Mary Capone!

What an AWESOME way to end this crazy school year! That’s a wrap for the 2019-2020 school year!

Accomplishment for the day - I created a class “app”! Parents can have important links and key info at their fingertips. Hoping it helps parents out this year! #HTWP4kids #explore4more #2020teacher

Here we go!! Year 13 for me and our 6th year co-teaching together! Teaching during a global pandemic is sure to make this a year like no other. Glad to work with Mary Capone so we can navigate this journey of a school year together! #Explore4More

Surmountable: able to be overcome, able to prevail over The challenges of this school year are surmountable with this amazing team!!! So, so thankful for my 5th grade work family! Mary Capone Lindy Gerkens JenMankey Jessica Souds

Got a laugh out of the kids on Zoom today. 😃 Merry Christmas and happy winter break to all teachers!

A beautiful day in March calls for an outdoor lesson on the coordinate plane. Mary Capone
