Fact/Opinion Exercise fun! We had so many wiggles yesterday morning, but a quick YouTube search saved the day! We got our wiggles out, learned lots , and had way more fun than a boring worksheet! #shineyourlight #2ndgrade @AmeliaElem @davislk11 @APAndy620 @AmeliaSchools

Missed school on Friday for personal reasons & came back to lots of compliments on my class’s behavior & a TON of hugs! I only missed ONE day, but you would have thought I had been out for WEEKS! #theyreallyloveme #shineyoulight @AmeliaElem #2ndgrade

Introduced the team to Cardio Desk Drumming today. This is a great way to get all of our wiggles out! @AmeliaElem @APAndy620 @davislk11 #shineyourlight #AwesomeACES @AmeliaSchools

@HANNAHD78037997 @shakira @AmeliaElem He is such a sweetie!

@talesfrom205 @shakira @AmeliaElem Zachary has finally been excited about coming to school. Thank you so much!!

Team 205 has chosen our class song for the 2021/22 year! “Try Everything” by @shakira (featured in the movie Zootopia) will be our theme song! We won’t give up! We will try everything! youtu.be/jpqV3dzYOgk #ShineYourLight #ShineBright #2ndgrade #AwesomeACES @AmeliaElem

Team 205 is ready for a new set of players! I met most of my new crew Wednesday & can hardly wait to meet the rest when the doors open at ACES bright and early August 11! We’re ready for another great year! #ShineYourLight #ShineBright #AwesomeACES @AmeliaElem @AmeliaSchools

@Walmart cashier in Powhatan, VA refused to scan my @KelloggsUS Pride Froot Loops tonight. This is 2021, right?! Thankfully there was a more open-minded cashier who came to assist us. #pride

Our playground was closed because they were finishing up concrete work, so I said “I’m gonna go get a closer look at the new equipment. Follow me if you want to go see it!” All the rising 2nd graders followed me like little ducks! #acessurfsup @AmeliaElem #ourplaygroundrocks

Launched Dreambox with the summer school babies. They are loving it! #acessurfsup @AmeliaElem #maskbreak

Our story this week is about a Navajo rug weaver, so Mrs. Gray brought in her loom to share how weaving is done. #handsonlearning #ACESSurfsUp @AmeliaElem @ACES_AP @cumminsjm

One of my sweet students invited Miss Perkinson & me to see her ride today! I love to watch my students participating in events outside of school. They each have such unique interests. This little one’s dedication & focus is amazing. #ACESSurfsUp @AmeliaElem @cumminsjm @ACES_AP

During Tiger Time, we drew a place where we feel safe & relaxed. Some friends drew playhouses, bedrooms, grandma’s house. These three chose: the barn & her horse; the woods near the creek; and school because we protect them! ❤️❤️❤️ #ACESSurfsUp @AmeliaElem @cumminsjm @ACES_AP

We put up a display to honor 33 famous African-Americans. Each picture has an “I” statement telling students what the person is famous for doing. I hope our students enjoying learning about these 33 amazing people! #BlackHistoryMonth2021 @AmeliaElem @cumminsjm @ACES_AP

We made it to the 100th Day! I had a few dress up with 100 things, one little old lady show up, and one who came dressed for Ridiculous Day. I think my poor old teacher neighbors look ready to retire! #ACESSurfsUp @AmeliaElem @ACES_AP @cumminsjm #100thdayofschool

Pajama Day is always fun! @AmeliaElem #acessurfsup @cumminsjm @ACES_AP

Our students did MAP growth testing this week. I always want my students to be relaxed & comfortable when taking this kind of test even when we have to socially distance & wear masks. Here are a few examples of their “comfy spots.” #acessurfsup @cumminsjm @ACES_AP @AmeliaElem

We had a busy week in 205! We ended by decorating ties like Mr. Tanen would have in his closet in “Mr. Tanen’s Tie Trouble” (our Journey’s story this week). #acessurfsup #team205 @ACES_AP @cumminsjm @AmeliaElem

@cumminsjm @ACES_AP You celebrate us all the time! You deserve to be celebrated!

My birthday is always over winter break. Today, my staff did a surprise early birthday celebration. I love my school! @ACES_AP #ACESSurfsUp

Haven’t tweeted in a while! Been trying to keep my head above water. We’ve made it 16 weeks! Couldn’t have done it without my amazing coworkers and awesome admin! #ACESSurfUp

Working on getting 205 set up for my new learners! I’m so excited for the 20/21 year! #surfsup @AmeliaElem
