Sure we, as teachers, "gave up" a day of instruction, but in the long run we did what was best for our kids! By being intentional with the time we have during the day, we are able to integrate learning opportunities, such as Hour of Code.
What did students learn during our Hour of Code?
Rashel Larson (@raschellarson)- for creating an Hour of Code 101 Smore for our teachers! Hour of Code: Learning to Program This helped alleviate anxiety as we were taking a risk and trying something new; we were modeling being a 21st century learner.
- for joining us yesterday and popping back and forth between our classrooms. You were able to answer questions our kids had about various programs, as well as help with various devices.
- for providing continuous support, as our campus begins to embrace a digital learning platform!

Connections were being made between math and the real world!
When 4 boys asked if they could skip lunch, I knew our day of learning was worth it! We're already trying to figure out how we can do this as a club, as well as fitting it into our upcoming units of study.
Stay tuned for students' digital reflections using www.canva.com
These kids are lucky to have you for a teacher! They are slowly learning to become risk takers and not be afraid of failure. Beyond students you are coaching and encouraging your peers as well and the atmosphere in math is contagious. Keep up the good work teaching stundents to become problem solvers because it's a skill that they will use for life. Thank you for joining Birdville ISD and North Richland MS.
