Congratulations to my friend and colleague, Heather Gaines!!! She was just chosen as Teacher of the Year at Lovett Elementary in HISD. I had the opportunity to teach with Heather last year while I was writing Math Work Stations. Heather and her then-principal, Susan Monaghan, set up a kindergarten classroom in which we could study math stations. It was amazing! Heather goes beyond the call of duty as a coach and teacher. We learned a ton working together! So glad to get this wonderful news!
Heather takes anecdotal notes while kids work at a math station.
Heather uses an ELMO to teach story problems about things we do at the playground.
