My next article with @WeAreTeachers is up! Focusing on 10 ways to keep your expectations high for all learners. weareteachers.com/high-expectati…

this is the honor the flyover deserved 🇺🇸

@JessieSima 🤓

2nd grade learned what ‘labels’ do and found them in their own books in their book baggies!

Just because we’re not sharing materials doesn’t mean we’re not playing word games together ♟ …kiddos filled out their words AND their partner’s words on their own mats, which was actually a great form of accountability and engagement 🤓

The knowing pattern is alive and well in 2nd grade! Kiddos are breaking apart these VCCV words like champions ✂️🏆

@NicholasFerroni 👋🏼

If you are a teacher/educator and you follow me but I don't follow you back--please REPLY to this so I do.

@hulie20 It’s a sensory chair! I just cut tennis balls in half and hot glued them onto it 🎾 it’s like a non-moving massage chair 😏

@_MrsWebster_ I love this so much. Also….please tell me more about that blue tennis ball chair!! :)

One of my favorite holiday traditions 🎁 Compliment Present Trees🎁 Students write a compliment to each other on a personally designed paper “gifts” and add it to each other’s trees. The final product brings joy & fills each kid up with a reminder of what makes them special 💫

✨Joy Books ✨ …a family keepsake filled with what brings these little ones joy 📚

What’s better than a keepsake snow globe ornament with yourself inside!? ❄️🌎

4th grade revised their realistic fiction narratives using @TCRWP ‘s checklists and met with partners to get feedback and engage in productive conversations about writing 💬

It’s so fun when we get to use kid’s names to follow a phonics rule 💫 Sl-OA-ne did a great job reasoning why her name was spelled with oa instead of ow during our phonemic awareness activity today!

Silly sentences got even sillier when the “principal’s office” was one of our verb stretchers @PrinRodas

@PrinRodas 2nd grade loved creating silly sentences today with you as one of our “subjects” 💬

2nd grade created gratitude paper bag books and considered different things they’re thankful for across multiple categories. Their focus was explaining why they’re thankful for each thing in complete sentences 🦃 #gratitude

Unbe-leaf-ably grateful in Room 3 🍃🍂🍁

Why WOULDn’t you make your red word watch match your outfit?!

3rd & 4th grade honored Veterans Day today by learning the true meaning behind it and created Veterans Day fact tellers to help spread the word with friends and family 🇺🇸

EE “buzz” was a hit this morning. Kiddos practiced reading EE words and eventually had to define them in order to keep their cards. “Buzz” cards meant all the cards they collected went back in the bucket—it was anyone’s game! 🐝

As we get started drafting realistic fiction pieces, students explained why these key elements serve a purpose in this genre. Their ideas were powerful and genuine 💫
