Excited for my Summer PD #P3ProductiveStruggle #PISDMathChat

I’ll be presenting this year at our PISD Math Mini Conference with @lizvaldezco22 🐊❤️

My third grade mathematicians explore multiplication strategies with manipulatives. #pisdMathChat #GardensGators ♥️ 🐊

My third graders practicing revising sentence fragments today! #PISDLAChat #GroovyGators 🐊

My third grade mathematicians working in a productive struggle to apply multiplication strategies to the PISD problem solving model to solve two-digit by one digit multiplication computations. #pisdmathchat #GroovyGators 🐊

Let’s get this WIN today Houston Astros ! We are rooting for you today from Gardens Elementary ! ⚾️🧡🤍💙

My third graders loved our creative writing workstation for the week! They read The Bumpy Little Pumpkin then wrote a summary outline and responded to the text with a personal narrative connection. #GroovyGators #PISDLAChat 🎃

Let’s solve some problems with friends! My third graders worked together to use the PISD problem solving model to solve Multiplication Word Problems today. #PISDMathChat #GroovyGators

Today was Pumpkinpalooza Day! My third graders researched pumpkins and presented what they learned. They wrote book reviews of fiction stories and wrote multiplication word problems. We also painted pumpkins with forks! 🎃#PISDLAChat #PISDMathChat #GroovyGators

I love using sticky notes for my Checks For Understanding. It’s a quick and easy way to see which kiddos need to be pulled for a re-teach in small group. Odd or Even? #pisdMathChat #GroovyGators ♥️ 🐊

Let’s Be Creative! Creative writing is a great way to get your kiddos motivated to write. Character development and elements of poetry was taught with a fun Themed Poem. #PISDLAChat #GroovyGators ♥️🐊♥️

Incredible collaborative discussions about complexity of texts for the Fall RLA Focus this morning. Guadalupe #GroovyGators #PISDLAChat

What’s a productive struggle? My third grade mathematicians work through a two-step problem for the first time today. PISD’s Super Six Strategy “concept cartoons” are perfect for this! #PISDmathChat #GroovyGators

Need a bigger small group? Do huddles! My third graders working through the steps of two step word problems. #PISDMathChat #GroovyGators ♥️ 🐊

A productive struggle is how we Launch our math lessons. My third graders are learning how to represent multi-step problems with equations. #PISDMathChat #GroovyGators

I had some visitors from another campus today! Thank you Golden Acres for coming to observe me! #ObserveMe #pisdetla

We love Patterns of Power! My third graders compared and contrasted two sentences today. I love how they are noticing similarities and differences based on skills we have previously taught. #GroovyGators #PISDLAChat

My third graders are practicing “paired passages” in workstations this week with some cute Holiday themed texts. #groovyGators #PISDLAChat

Tis the Season! It’s the most wonderful time of year! We LOVE our Minion Themed door this year. #GroovyGators #minions #christmasinElem

My third graders exploring real world relationships with a Holiday theme! #PISDMathChat #GroovyGators 🐊 🎅🏼
