We used some yummy manipulatives to practice our addition skills today! 🎃 #WarrenWill

Last week, we learned about how animals use their bodies to move. Students worked together and used their sound spelling knowledge to create a poster with an example. 🐼 #WarrenWill

Students can make anchor charts too! My students worked with a team to create examples of things with l-blends. Next, they presented their posters to the class. I loved hearing my students cheer for each other as they presented! 🌟 #WarrenWill

My students have been learning how to draw detailed pictures and write words to match. We recently had our first writing celebration, and they were so excited to share their hard work with a friend! ✏️ #WarrenWill

We are starting to use decodable readers from @McGrawHillK12 to read words with our phonics skills. Reading with a partner builds confidence! #WarrenWill

While learning about the short U sound, students helped me create an umbrella of examples! What do you see with the shirt U sound? 👀 #WarrenWill

Due to a safety issue on our playground, we had to play in the open field today. Instead of complaining, a few of my kiddos became leaders and spontaneously started a class-wide game of Red Light, Green Light! #proud #WarrenWill

First week of math is done! ✅ We practiced with some of our math tools, like ten-frames. #warrenwill

Finding our animals at the zoo was an added perk! 😉

I am so proud of how my students performed on their culminating Capstone Projects this year! #WarrenWill They spent 2 weeks researching a desert animal. First, they collaborated to create a poster.

Next, they created Clips videos. Finally, they presented their information to their peers. My students are creative, brave, and hardworking! #WarrenWill

Double-digit addition + chalk = high engagement math activity. @eureka_math

[Ellie Fater @EllieFater]

Finally, we went on a treasure hunt! All of the clues contained “ar” words. The treasure we found said that each student earned a CORE cash! #PBIS

[Ellie Fater @EllieFater]

Can you guess our theme for the week? 👀

[Ellie Fater @EllieFater]

We made pirate hats with the “ar” words we have learned. #scienceofreading

[Ellie Fater @EllieFater]

Students practiced their place value knowledge by matching tens and ones to a number. @eureka_math

[Ellie Fater @EllieFater]

Students created their own treasure maps and wrote down the steps so I can find their treasure. #creativewriting

[Ellie Fater @EllieFater]

This week, we are learning a pirate’s favorite sound, spelled A-R!

[Ellie Fater @EllieFater]

We also made a “walking rainbow!” My students have gotten so excited about science this year as we incorporate it in creative ways. #science
