Tonight it was structuring with Two Dots thanks @BeRationalSarah it’s really frustrating when she counts by ones some bundles and sticks work with informal notation gave me hope #kennedyscpvjourney
#kennedyscpvjourney we’ve been jumping within and to the decuple with the bead string and ten frames. Sometimes she’s using what she knows about structuring and sometimes she’s counting. Arghh
#kennedyscpvjourney day3. Not much time tonight. Used full and partial ten frames to jump within a decade.
#kennedyscpvjourney day 2 the mom guilt was strong tonight. Should have done so much more of this so much sooner. More screened sticks and bundles increasing and decreasing by ten and 20.
#kennedycpvjourney. Day 1-she counts by ten and twenty off the decade but still needs those groupable models. What I learned-let her look at the camera when I’m taping our work. She likes to be dramatic and it takes the pressure off. Also need to practice counting by fives.
Today my daughter and I started our conceptual place value journey. We are going to do what we can, when we can and I’ll document it here. #kennedycpvjourney
Thanks so much to @centreridgees for hosting so many dedicated teachers learning about #AVMR. Such a great week. @WendyWall_Math @USMathRecovery @MathematicsFcps

I love these questions. What do we think we are teaching/assessing vs what are we really teaching/assessing
If you want to evaluate a school culture don’t read the mission statement on the wall, listen to the teachers talk in the hallways @SteeleThoughts @ToddWhitaker #essentialtruths
Great comment about the impact of AVMR on FCPS teachers. @LynneBursch @MathematicsFcps @USMathRecovery
“Children need a classroom environment they can understand and trust.” Tips from 2 of my favorites @elliecornecelli @MMemgill @responsiveclass responsiveclassroom.org/this-room-was-…
“These tools give you a deeper understanding of what a student really, truly knows. Great data for IEP goals.” So happy to read this a-ha from an #AVMR participant today. @USMathRecovery @LynneBursch @MathematicsFcps
So excited to support another group of teachers as the learn about how kids develop addition and subtraction understanding. Glad to see a few of my @GarfieldESfcps friends too. @LynneBursch @USMathRecovery @MathematicsFcps
Thanks so much @centreridgees for having me.

My 3 words from my first Number and Operations cohort. So much fun learning the ropes from @Damien_Ettere and @FCPSR2 teachers
Enthusiastic teachers @UnionMill learned about #numbertalks and are ready to get started. Thanks @adwcooke for facilitating with me. @MathematicsFcps

Thank you to the over 100 dedicated teachers that showed up tonight (some for the second week in a row) to have deep mathematical conversations about what kids CAN do!!! So lucky to work with such amazing teachers in FCPS!! #AVMR @MathematicsFcps @USMathRecovery
And thanks to @adwcooke, @ShalaOtt and @WendyWall_Math for being such amazing teammates and so dedicated yourselves! ❤️ #AVMRChampions
One does not simply create breakout groups, there is a sequence of gradual release when students show mastery and responsibility. 🍎Shout out to the Kinder teachers who teach kids to walk down the hall without licking the walls. 👏👏ROUTINES & PRACTICE 👏👏 #MTBoS #iteachmath
Hello! Alicia Ogrodny, newly hired and proud SBTS at the Office of Early Childhood Curriculum and Grant Management. This is my 13th year as an SBTS and my goal is to build new relationships with all my office colleagues at Leis and Willow Oaks. #SBTSAdventures
Alright FCPS teachers, I'm going to speak directly to you right now. This is going to be a marathon, so get your running shoes on. So I talked with an anonymous school board member today, who pointed out a few important things to me. (1/18)
This is where I'll be on Thursday. #BlackLivesMatter is where I have always been. ♥️✊🏾
We're so excited for Session 2 this week! We hope you'll join us! bit.ly/2ZiLFFi

This is what PD Planning looks like 😅 #OSSYetiVentures
I don't trust your ideas about teaching if they depend on knowledge being "basic" or not. 👉 "Students need to know the basics and THEN we'll let them do interesting stuff." All knowledge seems basic after you know it. All the stuff should be interesting.
Math strategies just bring us together! ❤️ In the first hour we heard teachers reflecting and sharing, “I used to teach....” @ShalaOtt and I were honored to facilitate #AVMR Course 1 Day 1. @MathematicsFcps @USMathRecovery @FCPS_TitleI @FCPS_OSS
