How many can you accomplish this week, month, year?

Our morning walk destination was our middle school! Seun and her class met us for hot cocoa! Firsties got to introduce themselves to a middle schooler and it was such a thrill for them! We also mapped some streets along the way! @CPSCNC #walkingcurriculum #mapproject

I love talking to kids when we prepare food together. Today Ss cut up celery, peeled potatoes and carrots for vegetable soup. @CPSCNC #cookingandfoodinvestigations

[Anna's Class @AnnasClass]

We are thrilled to be back together again after a break! One student came in and said “I got up early this morning because I could not wait to be here!” @CPSCNC #walkingcurriculum

@JulianneChatham @JulianneChatham 💛 Diversify your read alouds, have your classroom agreement reflect mattering and caring, support language within the room (for example, modeling using y’all and sharing pronouns), use mindfulness, have posters up in your room that reflect inclusiveness. 💛

Today is the last day of the quarter! Whew! I taught firsties what the word reflecting means and had them take a few minutes to reflect on the quarter. @CPSCNC #Mindfulness #reflections

Did some belly breathing first thing today. One student said “that was awesome”. @Mindful_Schools #mindfulnessintheclassroom

Dropped into @CPSCNC and went for a walk with @AnnasClass noticing shapes. Also got to see 4th graders consider force and motion in their design of playgrounds. #learninghappenseverywhere

[Anna's Class @AnnasClass]

We loved having @Gina4Lit visit us today! @CPSCNC Eugenia is the fabulous NC Teacher of the Year! Whoop whoop! @Elon_Ed #NCTOY #Eloned

Today on our Morning Walk, our focus was finding vowels. “This is actually really fun,” one first grader said. @CPSCNC #walkingcurriculum #literacyoutside #placebasededucation

[Anna's Class @AnnasClass]

Mattering. It is a big but needed thing to unpack with students. I recommend this book by @csingleton__2 illustrated by @tbeardraws Our class read it yesterday and I think we will read it again and again. @ATN_1863 @learnforjustice @CPSCNC #antiracistteaching #mattering

[Anna's Class @AnnasClass]

It all started with one kid being inspired by the book Ghosts, now half the class is making comics. @CPSCNC #comics #firstgrade
