Student 1 to lab group: If cold air sinks, shouldn’t cold water sink? Student 2: So when we add hot it should go to the top? We love when a plan for teaching 6th grade about ocean currents comes together! @AlabamaAchieves @amsti4all @THSRebelsSchool

You can’t collect data and do nothing with it! Ms. Tolliver’s students took their data from yesterday and graphed and analyzed it to find the relationship between soil temp and water temp. Math+Science in the same class! @THSRebelsSchool @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves

Mrs. Tolliver’s classes at Thorsby HS are starting to learn about weather and climate. The first step? A lab to determine how different parts of the earth respond to heat. We’ll graph and analyze the data to draw some conclusions! @THSRebelsSchool @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves

These future paleontologists at @THSRebelsSchool excavated fossils then created a geologic column using their samples. Learning by doing happening at Thorsby! #amsti4all @AlabamaAchieves @UM_RIEC @AMSTI4all

You never know what kids are dealing with at home.  Always be kind.  Always be patient.  Always be gracious.  Always.

At the end of each week, it's always a good practice to stop and think about the good parts! 🎉 That's just what educator @SELebrateYOU's anchor chart is for. #SELChat

I’m so proud of Ms. Miller’s 2nd graders! They have come so far with solving story problems and using beaded number lines! @MunfordElem @MyraBEdwards @AshleyGableEDU @M_Green0910 @AMSTI_UM

Mrs. Thornbury’s kindergarten class enjoys math stations! Routines are so important, and it’s obvious Mrs. Thornbury’s students know exactly what to do…and have fun doing it! @AMSTI_UM @AMSTI4all @IndianValleyEl @Meller33Mimi @caprice_buttram

We had fun connecting what we know about area to what we are learning with volume in Ms. Morrison’s 5th grade today! A lot of rich discourse happened today while learning new vocabulary. @AshleyGableEDU @MyraBEdwards @M_Green0910 @MunfordElem @AMSTI_UM

I enjoyed introducing “What’s the Sitch?” problem solving routine to Mrs. Knight’s 2nd graders today. I can’t wait to see how their thinking about problems evolves over the coming weeks. @dancer567827 @AMSTI4all @AMSTI_UM @JohnSanGiovanni, I am loving your book!
