Meadowbrook’s Girls on the Run team had some special guests join their team practice today! The Oak Park High School Girls Cross-Country team came and shared their long distance running knowledge. Thank you to the Cross-Country team for supporting our Meadowbrook girls!
Adding Spanish 📚 the Meadowbrook Library has been a passion project of mine. I introduced Ss to our new Libros en Español section this week. The 👏 and 😃 I've received are EVERYTHING. @angiegroenke @NKCEdFoundation@NKCSchools#nkclibraries@MBRoadrunners
Monsters invaded the library today. I enlisted some 4th graders to destroy weeded 📚 & mess up the library. With Kinders, I'm teaching library & 📚 care rules. I ❤️d seeing their reactions they when we arrived. @MBRoadrunners#nkclibraries@NKCSchools
Great day of collaborative conversations and planning with both of my schools @MBRoadrunners@RisingHillElem for our upcoming PD day on Standards-Based Learning! @NKCSchools
Coloring is always a popular station @MBRoadrunners during Makerspace time. If I forget to put out coloring supplies, I always have a few students ask for it. Hence, the creation of a mobile coloring station. I ❤️ how it turned out! @NKCSchools#nkclibraries
During Makerspace time today, some Ss collaborated to build a tower taller than me. I stood next to it for a rough measurement, but their 👀 lit up when I got out the tape measure. It was 7' tall. @MBRoadrunners @angiegroenke #nkclibraries@nkcs
One of my favorite activities each year is the ABC scavenger hunt. Ss explore the library and write down authors, titles, characters, Makerspace supplies, etc. to complete their alphabet sheet. @angiegroenke @NKCSchools@MBRoadrunners#nkclibraries
This week has been full of outgrowing our thinking: from Standards-Based Learning to Guided Reading, our teams are invested in the right work for kids! @NKCSchools@MBRoadrunners
So impressed by these educators, Mrs. Atkin and Miss Corwin, willing to take risks while modeling for colleagues! @MBRoadrunners@NKCSchools@MissBentMBES
After reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, students in Miss Hutchinson’s class created their own letter trees using the letters in their names. Great fine motor practice, as well, with cutting and gluing the letters! @MBRoadrunners
