We had a cabin-full of fun today at Camp Curiosity! I love this time of year as my first graders begin to blossom!

[Ms. Lisa Williams @MsWilliamsFLPS]

Students participated in our 2nd student- led discovery day, “Curiosity Camp 🏕️”today! We are focused on being critical thinkers and effective communicators. Students were not only engaged, but learned how to identify, synthesize, and present their findings.

We studied the remarkable women in Hidden Figures. First graders found character traits, wrote a book review, and built paper airplanes. Students tracked data on their test flights and made adjustments… just like the women of Hidden Figures! ⁦@OFCSDistrict⁩ #BlackHistory

@OU_MBBall I was lucky enough to be a kid in the crowd with my old man that day! That era was such a fun time at the LNC that will never be matched!

Today we celebrated Groundhog Day by performing a readers theatre using our @DoInkTweets green screen app! Check out these fearless first grade readers who obviously didn’t get scared away by their shadows! 😊 https://t.co/yd4RsC6Cjg

@ahoysecondgrade @MsWilliamsFLPS @Macys @FLBulldogs So creative! Love this!

[Mr. J Reads Every Day @MrJReadEveryDay]

@ahoysecondgrade Great minds! We did something similar in small groups today! 💪

[Mr. J Reads Every Day @MrJReadEveryDay]

Today my first graders sank their teeth into fractions, as we created pumpkin pie flip books to give our math lesson some Thanksgiving pizzazz! In related news, I can guarantee that Mr. J will consume “greater-than” one-fourth of a pie during the holiday break! 🥧😋@OFCSDistrict

First graders in Mr. J’s class were excited to greet the veterans that visited Falls-Lenox today for our school parade! I have to admit that I got a bit teary seeing the multi-generational interactions in our halls❤️🇺🇸 #VeteransDay ⁦@OFCSDistrict⁩

[Mr. J Reads Every Day @MrJReadEveryDay]

Mr. J’s 1st graders were treated to a special presentation by Mrs. Carey’s class of their book character pumpkins! What a creative way to dive deep into character analysis by these 3rd graders! We were definitely inspired to check out some new book series! @OFCSDistrict

[Mr. J Reads Every Day @MrJReadEveryDay]

What a fun day we had for our reading celebration! Our class reads a “latte!” Loved having our parent baristas to help serve!

Special thanks to @RoastedOlmsted for donating authentic coffee cups! It’s so nice to have wonderful community partners in literacy!

Mr. J’s first graders got to share their writing with third grade buddies in Mrs. Crawford’s class today! What a wonderful opportunity for these young authors to hear encouragement from the older students! @OFCSDistrict

[Mr. J Reads Every Day @MrJReadEveryDay]

Shoutout to the @OlmstedFallsFD for visiting our first graders at Falls-Lenox for an assembly on fire safety and prevention!

I love Jimmy Buffet’s music and island vibe…it helps me through the Lake Erie winter! DYK that @jimmybuffett wrote the soundtrack music and had an acting role in the movie version of Hoot by @Carl_Hiaasen ? This is a great novel for grades 4-8 that my former students have loved!
