@glenna_honich @Callawaycougars It was so funny to hear the kiddos guess what it was!

@greeningrade1 @Callawaycougars Thought they got rid of all of those when I retired. I was the only one still using one! 😂

These kiddos now know what an overhead projector is! We are studying light, so we used it to compare opaque and transparent objects as well as make shadow puppets. So fun! @Callawaycougars

Today we shared our final works with our classmates and we also learned that published authors get receptions🎉 @Callawaycougars

The first graders tried Jamboard today as a response to reading and they rocked it! @Callawaycougars

@WeAreTeachers Yay! Forever an Oxford comma advocate 😎

We're bored, so ... 😅

@music_hills Callaway is blessed to have you! I know that they miss you too!

The room is lonely without my Callaway Hills students, but I am thinking of you all as I get some papers together to add to your packets! Miss you guys!

This little guy asked to read a book on math and the first title off of the shelf fit him perfectly💛@andi_stegeman

D.E.A.R. It was something special to pick a book from the teacher’s shelf. Students heard origins of some of my own books—some from family and friends, others from former teachers and mentors. Some of the pages I read as a first grader myself. My bibliophile’s heart is happy♥️

Today’s lunch buddies😊

Our third grade neighbors made goods to sell. The first graders used their Cougar Paws to buy the items and were able to practice being consumers, learning from the producers along the way. What a great way to partner up and practice our learning on economics! @CH_3rdGraders

We’ve been busy reading gingerbread books and the first graders had fun building boats and bridges to help our little friend escape the fox in the river. Such great teambuilding!

The first graders had fun giving our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree a facelift for the holidays—ornaments, lights, and all!🌴♥️

The first graders broke out today and saved the turkey from Thanksgiving. So fun! 🦃 @Callawaycougars

Close reading about turkeys today! @Callawaycougars

@LorieRost85 Thank you for your sweet words! We have fun😊

@greeningrade1 Your classroom is always so warm and inviting!!! 😊

Love these kids!

Probably a day we can all support #CardiganDay #WorldKindnessDay

Today we investigated how shadows move and change as a precursor for understanding weather and space concepts. We made a hypothesis, jotted down our observations, and questioned the accuracy of our predictions. Wow! They loved every minute of it👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 @Callawaycougars

The first graders escaped the monsters today! I always love watching my littles using some of their biggest problem solving skills and thinking outside of the box as teammates. Six year olds are quite simply rockstars.
