For some reason, watching Coyote Peterson remove porcupine quills from his hand made the kids a little Squimish but they couldn’t stop watching the video. They loved it! #misdgt #mymisd

Something about animal videos just mesmerize the kids each week inK-2 ALPHA. I love watching their faces!!! #misdgt #mymisd

The kids were very excited to learn about the cheetah! #misdgt #mymisd

We were watching a video while we were making our model of the hippo. Some kids just get so wrapped up in the video they can’t break away & that is fine with me! #misdgt #mymisd

The K-2 ALPHA kids are all wrapped up in working on their Rhino model. #misdgt #mymisd

I just love watching the K-2 ALPHA kids make their scientific models. They will keep working until they think they are perfectly realistic even if everyone else is finished. #misdgt #mymisd

Our K-2 ALPHA students are spreading kindness with their Joy Joy Bead bracelets. #misdgt #mymisd

The kids got really excited about how we made the texture of the skin on the hippo! #misdgt #mymisd

The kids are just loving being mammalogists and all the cool mammals we are learning about. They were super excited about the cheetahs! #misdgt #mymisd

I just love seeing their cute little faces as they watch the videos about each animal we learn about in ALPHA. They are just mesmerized! #misdgt #mymisd

Added lots of new ALPHA students this week! Everyone loved being mammologists & learning about African Elephants! #misdgt #mymisd

We all had lots of fun at our Depth & Complexity workshop! Lots of creativity was happening as ships, treasure chests, & treasure maps were being made as we were learning to teach like a pirate.

I just LOVE my job! What a perfect way to end my day of teaching K-2 ALPHA! #misdgt #MyMISD
