We had a great time sorting letters by their attributes in 1st grade today! We also talked about how they are similar and different using complete sentences. @EllevationEd @gcschools #MonaviewOnTheMap #believe #MLday

I have the BEST co-teachers! Yesterday they dedicated their entire planning to me so that we could talk ML data and Access goals. Today, several of them were already trying out some of the strategies we talked about to prepare our 🦁s for Access. Can’t beat #Monaview teachers!

There is nothing better than witnessing that moment when they finally GET IT. Never gets old. “I can never write that letter, but this time I did it right!” He erased it and wrote it again because he was so proud of himself 😍 #MonaviewOnTheMap

Late post but I had to say how proud I am of our 1st grade writers! Last week we had such a great time publishing our stories that we have worked so hard on this unit. I moved up with most of these students from K5 and it is amazing to see how much they have grown already 🦁💙

We enjoyed reading about tiger sharks today 🦈 “I always think I don’t really like reading, but then I started and got used to it. I actually liked it!” #MultilingualLearners #MonaviewOnTheMap
