Welcome Back! Thanks @rutiglianobeth for this wonderful activity! Students had a blast walking around the room answering different prompts about classroom routines, their break, etc. Then they had a chance to discuss their responses in a small group. @NMBerkley_NJ #nmuknight

We had so much fun this morning at the Winter Wonderland!! @NMBerkley_NJ #nmuknight

Students danced their way to peer review! We played musical chairs with a twist-when the music stopped students had to find a desk, read the piece, and leave their classmate a compliment, suggestion, and any corrections. #Nmuknight @NMBerkley_NJ

On Friday we transformed our room into a Starbucks! We listened to some Piano Guys radio and got to work on our narratives. #NMUKnight @NMBerkley_NJ

We started our morning meeting today defining and discussing the word “hero”. Then we read “The Man in the Red Bandanna” to learn about the real life hero Welles Crowther-who sacrificed everything to save others in the WTC on 9/11. #RedBandana #NeverForget #NMUKnight

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week-I would like to thank Mrs. Paone, my 5th grade teacher, who taught me the Preposition Song! My students loved learning it this week! #nmuknight @NMBerkley_NJ

Notice & note signpost gallery walk was the perfect way to practice reading, recognizing signposts, and jotting our thinking! #NMuKNIGHT @NMBerkley_NJ
