"Just 10 to 15 minutes of time to read, write, draw, work on a puzzle, or do some other quiet work can help children take a physical, mental, and emotional breather so they are more ready to engage in learning in the afternoon." #QuietTime #SEL bit.ly/2Odm78a

“Memorization and timed testing stand in the way of number sense, giving students the impression that sense making is not important.”-JB #TeamBCSD #MathFunNotFear

Getting some help from friends to measure length. #TeamOakRocks

After studying types of ramps, kinder engineers designed a ramp to make a car go the longest distance. @Oak_STEM #TeamOakRocks

We loved celebrating May the Fourth with lots of John Williams music, some Star Wars abc poems... oh, and Yoda wrote our morning message! #TeamOakRocks

We can sort by shape, size, color, vertices, size... so many possibilities! #TeamOakRocks

We are sorting in many different ways. 👂🏽to how one kinder mathematician decided to sort!

Excited to launch our arcade game design challenge with @Oak_STEM !

Started our morning with a kinder favorite- the shoe greeting! Tough to get a photo because we're all 😂 @responsiveclass @OakPrincipal #TeamOakRocks

Brave @GoodmanClass learning how to play 4 square - an Oak recess staple! @kattell #lasdk8

It was easy to catch avid readers this week in Team 2! With our super reading powers, we love to read, read, read! #25minutesofsuperreadingstamina! #TeamOakRocks

A cozy new reading spot in team 2 for avid readers! @OakPrincipal #TeamOakRocks #lasdk8

I love each and every card and kinder! Thank you to the team 2 families who started my day with such a sweet surprise (literally— I’m set with sour candy for at least a year!!!) #TeamOakRocks

Forces in motion right on the big kid playground! @Oak_STEM showed us that pushes and pulls are all around us. All we have to do is observe like scientists (& we played a bit too 😉) @OakPrincipal #TeamOakRocks

Scenes from small group work during math workshop- solving story problems using a variety of strategies and sharing with each other #TeamOakRocks

What a fun door! Thanks Room 2 families, looking at this door makes me feel like a ⭐️

How-to writers teach at every step of the writing process: diagrams in covers, materials lists to tell us what we need, & detailed steps to tell us exactly what to do. @OakPrincipal #TeamOakRocks #lasdk8

Practicing bunny hop addition today during our math workshop mini-lesson! Tomorrow we'll add a number line to our rotations to keep practicing. #TeamOakRocks @OakPrincipal #lasdk8

Stuffed animals and bears got to join us for some @GoNoodle during PJ DAY- turns out they like to dance and push all the buttons, too! 😉 #TeamOakRocks

Can’t have PJ day without popcorn! Of course, we ate it the mathematician way- counting in groups of tens! #TeamOakRocks
