These young citizens come up with such thoughtful ideas to make our world a better place during our Unit 1, Social Change project! From climate change, to affordable health care, to homelessness… my #bravebunch has a plan! #socialchange #CSyearofhope

This morning my #bravebunch visited their 1st grade buddies and listened to them read their first published small moment story 💞 It is so amazing to watch our CS buddies grow 🥹 #CSyearofhope #buddies

Sometimes you have to stop what you’re doing and find joy in the little things - like our CS squirrel that decided to snack on a leftover pretzel from field day during our math lesson today 😂🐿️ #CSsquirrel #hopefulsquirrel

In Social Studies we have been learning about diversity! One of my #bravebunch members came in yesterday with a gift for me to hang in the classroom 🥹
“Diversity, I see you! Inclusion, I’m with you!”
❤️❤️❤️ #diversity #inclusion #CSYEAROFHOPE

Today in Math Workshop my #bravebunch did our first “Math Challenge”. This activity requires discussion, the use of all of our known operations, and a collaborative presentation of strategies! They loved the challenge & I was so proud of their dedication! #csyearofhope

[Katie Bopf @K_Bopf_CS]

Today my #bravebunch practiced “envisioning” in Reader’s Workshop! We practiced this strategy by listening to a small section of our class read aloud and acting out what we envisioned ❤️📚#csyearofhope #readersworkshop #readersforlife

@MTL_CS_Art It’s one of my favorite lessons in the social studies curriculum! I can’t take the credit for their art abilities though, that’s all you & personal talent ❤️

Today in Social Studies my #bravebunch began learning about Diversity. We read the story “Just Ask”! We then made the connection that people are like unique flowers coming together to make a garden! Take a look at the start of our #diversitygarden 🪴

Is it obvious you’re a teacher mom when your child is dressing as a book character for Halloween 🎃 🐛❤️?!

@24game Thank you so much!! My kids look forward to this as a center option every day! It’s really helped them “show their work” too because before they can “solve” to win, I require them to share their solution!

[Katie Bopf @K_Bopf_CS]

My math #bravebunch unlocked a new workshop activity today- The 24 Game ❤️
This game has us practicing ALL of our operations and number sense! We also love a friendly competition & explaining our solutions!

Constitution Day!
Room 17 is proud of the rights we have & the rules we’ve established!
We are PROUD citizens of Countryside School & are hopeful for a great school year 💚💛 #constitutionday #bravebunch #CSyearofhope

[Katie Bopf @K_Bopf_CS]

@MTL_CS_Art Oh my goodness 🥹❤️ She was so proud! I love her motivation!

[Katie Bopf @K_Bopf_CS]

Nothing makes me happier than a BraveBunch member coming in to school excited to show me a creation! This student was inspired from a Friday STEM lesson and repurposed paper to create a stuffed animal 🥹❤️ #BraveBunch #CSyearofhope #STEMinspired

[Katie Bopf @K_Bopf_CS]

The final product 🤩
Take a look at our “Tessellations About Us”!
Each hexagon represents one individual student & together we become a beautiful tessellation ❤️#bravebunch #mathaboutme

[Katie Bopf @K_Bopf_CS]

Today in Writer’s Workshop we learned that writers often get inspired from stories they wish existed! We brainstormed topics we would hope to see in books and wrote about them! I’m so proud of my #bravebunch #writersforlife

[Katie Bopf @K_Bopf_CS]

Regulating emotions is a big part of embracing challenge! My #bravebunch has been practicing mindfulness strategies to use when we feel “frozen”! We are hopeful to achieve all our goals and be mindful #CSyearofhope

[Katie Bopf @K_Bopf_CS]

Today my #bravebunch studied Patriots’ Day & honored our heroes by creating a mural of the poem “We Remember Them”❤️🤍💙#NeverForget911 #PatriotsDay

4th Graders have been practicing our routines for Reader’s Workshop! Our goal is to rate reading a 10/10 & it looks like we’re on the right path 🥹 Look at my #bravebunch diving into independent reading ❤️
