Our friend Mabel from @TCRWP lessons helped my kindergartners learn positional words. Today we created a class video w/ @Seesaw & #shadowpuppetedu but by the end of the week, each kiddo will get to create their own Mabel positional word video in Seesaw!

We may only be a few weeks into @TCRWP Readers Workshop, but these Kinder Readers are already utilizing reading goals! I ❤️ seeing them work on their goals during private reading, but my heart melts when they help their partner work on their goal during partner reading! #tcrwp

Reading levels don’t measure interest or curiosity. Don’t tell me reading is about learning and then don’t allow kids to choose books they are passionately curious about.

@Estela_N_Garza @TCRWP teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writin… They are phenomenal!

@mindyesch @TCRWP Where are these goal cards from?♥️

It’s only Day 3 of @TCRWP Writers Workshop & these kindergarteners are already setting goals to grow as writers!! #tcrwp

It was only Day 2 learning with our iPads and @Logitech crayons, but these amazing Kindergartners used @nearpod for the 1st time to complete our 1st Math Review!! So proud that these little mathematicians were able to expertly integrate technology into our daily math review!❤️

It was a big day in our kindergarten room….we learned how to use our iPads and our @Logitech crayons! We used #doodlebuddy to help us write the letters in our names. Then we wrote numbers & matching sets!

@Rodriguez1stELA @TCRWP She has reading goals also! This is the BEST thing I’ve ever bought! Then I just used cardstock and plastic pocket holders to place the goals in! Writing Goal Getters by Teach Love and Iced Coffee on Teachers Pay Teachers teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writin…

@mindyesch @TCRWP Where did you find the goals for the bookmarks! I love these!

It’s official…I have 🌟 Super Readers 🦸🏽‍♂️🦸🏻‍♀️in my kinder classroom! After beginning @TCRWP Readers Workshop today, these kinder readers discovered all the many many things they can already read! The passion for reading is strong in this room❤️! #TCRWP

I always LOVE this @ConsciousD lesson!! My kinder kids learned about parts of the brains & our big feelings by comparing them to the drivers seat/backseat/trunk of a car! Such a fun way to help them learn how to stay in control of their brains & bodies!❤️

My kindergarten class is full of readers!! 📚 Today we learned how to Private Read @ our own special reading spots during @TCRWP Readers Workshop! These readers already had a reading stamina of 5 whole min…& it’s only the 5th day of school! #TCRWP

@Seesaw We used @Seesaw to create individual sight word videos and then linked them to a class sight word @Symbaloo We now have an interactive sight word wall! symbaloo.com/embed/shared/A…

How did you 🅢🅔🅔🅢🅐🅦 today⁉

symbaloo.com/embed/shared/A… After using a @Symbaloo of diff staff teaching sight words all yr long, today my Ss created our own Sight Word Class Symbaloo! Each Kindergartener made their own video in @Seesaw w/@Logitech pens that we linked to our page. Now Ss are teaching Ss!!!❤️

@rbesnorth @Seesaw Oh my gosh! This is adorable!! I totally want to do this! Thanks for sharing such a great idea!!

Today my writers celebrated becoming Poets! They have worked so hard learning about & creating different kinds of poems-listening to them proudly read their peers’ work and give sweet compliments gave me all the goosebumps! These writers are ready for 1st grade!

My fav day of the year is always Disability Awareness Day! Such a special day filled w/ wheelchair rides, Braille, ASL, blind painting, & a surprise Zoom reader! Most importantly, we discuss kindness & how to embrace our differences! #disabilityawareness @tdfahy @bushbobcats

1 of my FAVORITE @TCRWP Readers Workshop lessons is always Becoming a Copycat Poet! Ss used the rhythm of Brother John & @Seesaw to create their own poem..their sweet voices sang about soccer, chocolate, unicorns, candy & baseball! I literally can’t get enough of this❤️! #tcrwp

Reason # 956 why I LOVE @Seesaw We use Seesaw to display our knowledge to our peers, but most importantly to our families. This allows for families to connect right into our day...so much so that this little sweetie says bye to his mom b/c he knows she’ll be watching him learn!❤️

During our #GSPD2021 Ss used #doodlebuddy #puppetedu @Seesaw to teach their peers how to say color words in their first languages...today we learned Russian, Japanese, & Spanish! #GlobalSchoolPlayDay is for playing...in all different languages!

I thought I loved the book The Jacket I Wear In The Snow before, but after hearing Ss use #doodlebuddy #shadowpuppet @Seesaw to retell the story, I realized I love their little versions even more! Sight words, labeling, vocab, retelling, & sweet voices..my ❤️ is just so full!
