For our happiness & creativity week, I told the students if they want to teach a lesson on something that makes them happy to develop a lesson plan, and if I approve it, they can teach the class. Today 2 girls taught the class about splits and important stretches! @Newark_KS
April fools in 5th grade at @Newark_KS was made for me. I love to prank people year round, but especially today. 🙃 I ate my Mayo for breakfast and snack. #itsactuallyvanillapudding
Like many others, these 3 @Newark_KS have joined the wordle craze (with a twist - I pick the word). Thinking strategically, applying word knowledge & having fun in W.I.N.? Now THAT’S a win! They made you one, see comments. #NCSDlearns
We may not have had a snow day at @Newark_KS but we did have a snowball fight to find decimal problems. But watch out for that pesky "yellow snow" that has you do jumping Jacks, push-ups, or sit-ups ❄ exercising our minds and bodies in 5th grade today.
Hey new 5th graders. Stop by tonight at meet and greet to take a photo and tell us what you're excited for! @JeffHamelinck said he's excited to see students working hard at @Newark_KS! #youbelong
Played some connect four as we answered questions and made inferences about what life lessons the characters were learning. Quick way to boost engagement and have a little fun while learning. 😊 #ncsdlearns@Newark_KS
"OperationB" was a code in my class for a few days as his friends made him this collage of pictures because they felt bad he hasn't been able to participate in PE. We have the best community in our class🥰 @Newark_KS
My 5th grade scholars prefer hands-on activities so we introduced volume with a fun activity. Build a rectangular prism, find its two formulas, then have friends try to build the same prism with only the formulas they wrote! @Newark_KS#ncsdlearns
We may not be in person but we can still spread some holiday cheer. Thankful to have connected with all our students today. 😊😊 @Newark_KS#ncsdlearns@MrsMulhern5
Ended my Friday with Zoom Pictionary for choice time. I look forward to this all week! They didn’t all want me to share their drawings, but here’s a couple at the moment they were guessed. Any guesses? #choosejoyNCSD
