Connected World Exploris

Fist graders learning about the ocean in four ways!

Went to school to check out the pupa progress...

The world around our buildings is bursting with life! #connectionstonature

Had a fun time during explorations today @ExplorisSchool !

So thankful for @swissmiss leading me to @Areaware ! I am using @Blockitecture with K and 1 and we are having a great time (myself included)!

Two weeks in @ExplorisSchool and the fifth graders have transformed our garden and outdoor classroom in a way I couldn't have done on my own. We weeded the outdoor classroom, the mulched pathways and strawberry beds, pulled out our spring crops, and saw a mantis!

Getting ready for @brainpop #brainpopconnect !

Strawberry harvest in our garden with first graders!

Fifth grade has been taking ownership of the Exploris garden this year. They assessed our needs, and recommended 4 new beds. Thanks to @ExplorisPTO , we were funded with a grant to make it happen. They are finally in place and will be getting soil this week!

Kindergarten is getting ready for Lunar New Year tomorrow... dumplings, dragons, and zodiac animal sanctuaries!

First grade acro-cats are improving their flexibility and coordination skills! Teaching tech is fun, and also it is fun to mix it up a little bit.

Kindergarten have learned the names of the 5 world oceans and are also now able to identify them on an world projection! Superstars!

Learning about the oceans and sharing characteristics using play dough in K today!

First week in full swing: Kindergartners building their favorite day of the year!

Day two of @responsiveclass training. Thankful for all these resources and building collective language @ExplorisSchool

Back at it @ExplorisSchool ! Teacher workdays this week, then students join us on Monday.

just calculated: only eighteen days of school left this year.

Hey Twitter crew! A sixth grade teacher is looking for a cartoon animation app.. any recommendations? (@WickEditor looks interesting, and I've used @AdobeSpark for text and image editing, but not animation.)

The fourth graders have been researching amazing women in science through the @NatGeo magazine, and their research videos are rolling into @Flipgrid ! I am so proud of their craftsmanship and storytelling.

Do you have an inclement weather day? How are you using it? (I've made a weekend-style breakfast, signed up for my first dose of the COVID vaccine, applied for a grant, and done some front yard birding.. chickadees, starlings, blue jays, cardinals, grackle!)
