We were enthralled by @McGauvran3's tier time reader's theater performance about coral reefs! #PRASlearns

Today was Selection Day! We've been working hard in our narrative writing unit, and today we decided which narrative writing project we are going to publish! Party hats sure can make any day feel extra special! #PRASlearns

Using @PearDeck to test our knowledge of genres today! We're new to it, but loving how Pear Deck lets us show what we know and discuss our responses. Our favorite way to answer questions is dragging. #PRASlearns

We finally started our #TBR lists in our notebooks today and decided to start one as a class too! This will help us stay focused and celebrate finishing books together! #PRASlearns

Student 1: Why is there white crayons but not white markers?
Student 2: You can have white markers if you just let all your markers dry out.

@MrsVinje Such a good goal!! Book buying is so addictive!!

I wish I could bottle up the feelings of sheer gratitude for moments in the classroom amidst a global pandemic. Moments of relative normalcy, genuinely enjoying each other's company. So here's a tweet to remind myself (and you, too) that there's goodness in hard things.

*kids (new to chromebooks this year) using chromebooks*
"I FINALLY learned how to drag things. Without a mouse. Use both hands!"

Giving kids time to explore and share what they're discovering is important. Sometimes adults just need to get out of the way

This book is the perfect summer read. I feel like I'm in Wisconsin with Abby, and it's just what I need. Loving this #middlegradedebut from @claireswinarski

[Katie Reilley @KReilley5]

Just. Please. Stop.

[Jennifer Sorenson @Miss_Burchill]

@KReilley5 I just did this one, and laughed out loud reading all the book titles while assembling! Enjoy!!

Four years ago today, I accepted my job at @ParkRiverAggies, and my bff had a congratulatory pizza delivered. What a blessing to begin my teaching career in such a wonderful place. Wishing I could've celebrated with my crazy cool third graders! #PRASlearns

[Jennifer Sorenson @Miss_Burchill]

A new "biography poem" to inspire some writing when I don't feel inspired. Give it a try and share what you write! #PRASlearns #teachersaswriters

[Jennifer Sorenson @Miss_Burchill]

@MyDaleyLife 💔 There's still so much I hope we can do!!! Tell him I say HI!!

[Jennifer Sorenson @Miss_Burchill]

What a weird, sad time to be a teacher. What a spectacular reminder of the wonderfulness of those who make education possible #PRASlearns #distancelearning #photochallenge

Today in math we made our own 2-question quizzes to assign to classmates. Then we corrected them and cleared up any misunderstandings with each other. #PRASlearns #everyonesateacher #thirdgrade

[Jennifer Sorenson @Miss_Burchill]

Super grateful for such positive, passionate, and energetic collaboration with this partner in crime of mine! #3rdgradeteachers

[Jennifer Sorenson @Miss_Burchill]

#GlobalSchoolPlayDay is my favorite day! We had fun, strategized, solved conflicts, and used our imaginations! #PRASlearns

[Jennifer Sorenson @Miss_Burchill]

We were all aboard the Reader Express a few weeks ago! It was a blast to connect reading, grammar, and math with our senses of adventure! #PRASlearns

[Jennifer Sorenson @Miss_Burchill]

Watching a movie at the theater before winter break is one of the best traditions! From a random seat toward the back, one kid said, "I'm pretty sure I have the best seat in the house!" 😂❤ #PRASlearns
