The students are still so enthusiastic about school and unguarded that I think it gives their teachers the courage and mindset to do some amazing things. I want high school to be like that, too! Any elementary blogs that you would recommend?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808603871463612264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708897041529904500.post-10768369940757633692012-08-25T10:19:12.173-05:002012-08-25T10:19:12.173-05:00This is a great post for people to read right now....This is a great post for people to read right now. I have spent quite a bit of time on the elementary blogs this summer and their creativity amazes me. Culture can also be extended to the adults. I've noticed a difference in elementary vs secondary vs post secondary in the staff culture as well. I also agree that the first day can make a huge impression on the culture. I want my students thinking and doing math to set the appropriate tone for the year. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!druinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363634340959613461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708897041529904500.post-52070392380223473082012-08-18T20:33:29.379-05:002012-08-18T20:33:29.379-05:00Thanks, I might just try that!

I really like that your students picked up on the importance of having a low-stakes environment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808603871463612264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708897041529904500.post-27560830451118253192012-08-18T20:00:16.183-05:002012-08-18T20:00:16.183-05:00One of the best first day activities I've foun...One of the best first day activities I've found is the <a href="http://marshmallowchallenge.com/Welcome.html" rel="nofollow"> Marshmallow Challenge</a>—there are many layers you can unpack after the activity to talk about classroom culture.
