I know digital badging isn’t new, but I’m pretty happy with the #keynote file I adapted from Lauren Angarola to hold the #4CZ badges this year. So far, we’ve got our Leopard Pride badge, our 4CZ class badge, and an XtraMath addition ninja badge! 5CZ DAA Elementary

Really happy to have the support from Megan McKellar to get this off the ground this year with a few students from 5CZ Can’t wait to hear their work!

Will never get tired of #Keynote GIFs for Mathematics. Today 5CZ G4 created animations to illustrate “10 times bigger than” DAA Elementary #AppleDistinguishedSchools

Dope Seesaw tips from my friend Sean Forde Seesaw just keeps getting better and better.

#4thin4 will be back on air soon! With help from Megan McKellar & some special friends from 5CZ the first episode of Season 3 should be ready shortly! Everyone can podcast with Jackie Westrick- it’s a super easy platform for students of all ages!

A new episode is live! Shout out to Megan McKellar for helping some #4CZ friends get the podcast up and running this year! DAA Elementary GEMS DAA Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: Welcome Back to 4th in 4! anchor.fm/carrie-zimmer/…

Loving using Explain Everything alongside Whiteboard.fi for virtual math lessons. I was screen sharing the problems in EE and watching the students work on their whiteboards. The 1st picture is a Ss split screen view from home. GEMS DAA DAA Elementary 5CZ

Saw Nearpod in action almost 8 years ago, but finally gave it a go myself today. Tried both live and student paced. Some successes & some things to improve upon, but another great way to see what your students are doing live. DAA Elementary @Aluv4teaching 5CZ

Finally did some visual data tracking for myself throughout January. Have always been interested in this and was inspired by Keri-Lee Beasley years ago to get this super cool book. Almost by accident I ended up with a solid set of accomplishments this month. #deardata #visualizedata

So now w/ my January success I’m giving my enrichment Ss a chance to track some simple things we try to do everyday. We’re using this #pages design to track four simple things during February. I picked 3, student choice for the 4th this time. 5CZ DAA Elementary

The enrichment students from 5CZ have been trying out a simple method of visual data tracking over the past week, using some things they try to do regularly. DAA Elementary #visualizedata

Must give props to Caitlin Munson who inspired me to track my own reading like this after I saw her personal chart. 5CZ is still learning how to track, but I love their enthusiasm for reading!

Literally laughed so much I cried this am w/ this scenario w/ my kids. (Set-up: Staying apart has been really hard for them!) Me: I like how K is visiting at a distance. Kid at desk: Don’t worry Ms. Z if he gets too close I’ll just “reverse” him. Proceeds to hold this up:

Want to track habits? Here’s my how and why! 🤩 Shout outs to Keri-Lee Beasley and James Clear in the vid. #visualizeyourdata #habittracking

Taking a page out of the Jo Boaler Youcubed playbook as we try to find many different ways to look at numbers. #dotcards #numbertalks

Thrilled to be starting year 23 at a school where the principal says the goal for the year is HAPPINESS of both staff and students. DunecrestDubai #MentalHealthMatters #socialemotionalgrowth

The kids and I all love a good number talk! So many great math conversations start happening during these moments! Today’s included patterns, sides, shape vocab, spelling, symmetry and so much more! DunecrestDubai WODB? Math 5CZ
