@skah33 @tyler_kahmann33 I know! What a great nephew!

[Kelsey Garner @MrsGarner_5thGr]

So glad to have @tyler_kahmann33 come to my class today to amaze my fifth graders with his card tricks! I ♥️ their reactions!

We hear a lot of negative talk about “kids these days” and sometimes I wonder if I am making a difference in their lives. Then you get a “special delivery” from a student. ♥️

Read a story about a different culture so my kids had the privilege of talking to @LeaMorlacchi on Skype to learn a few things about the Italian culture! Miss this beautiful girl!

Love my Christmas present from @CaseyMMeier! Nothing like having a shirt with your husband’s face on it! @coach_DGarner #breakthecycle

Finished our novel study of The Wild Robot talking about the virtues Roz portrayed and making our own Roz robots! Love the creativeness from my Ss! @itspeterbrown

Loving my first “International Week” at my school! The Ss are chosen as ambassadors, learn about a country, do a presentation to their class, and we eat foods from these countries for lunch! Today we get to meet an alpaca 🦙

Love that my Ss were “arguing” about who would go to the public library first to get The Wild Robot Escapes and got a picture today of a student reading it over their Thanksgiving break! #lovereading #thewildrobot @itspeterbrown

Ss got to talk to Lilli from Germany on Wednesday and Juuso from Finland today! Love being able to help them get these experiences!

[Kelsey Garner @MrsGarner_5thGr]

Building our wild robot Roz. The Ss will try and “sell” their robots to other Ss in the school. #makerspace #thewildrobot

Loved seeing the excitement on my Ss faces when they got to FaceTime Lilli in Germany for their Christmas Around the World project!

[Kelsey Garner @MrsGarner_5thGr]

♥️ My “MARIO” friend. I’m glad I can teach him “fancy” words! ♥️

[Kelsey Garner @MrsGarner_5thGr]

Need help! Looking for a robotic engineer that would want to come talk to my class about their career and maybe bring a robot with them!

Teachers to celebrate my love of book pairings I am giving away 5 signed sets of these two, I Survived nonfiction and historical fiction both focusing on tornadoes. Retweet to enter. I will contact winners privately.

First Cardboard Day at my new school was awesome. The students are so creative!

[Kelsey Garner @MrsGarner_5thGr]

A little designing to get our creativeness going. What type of remote control would a fairy have and what would its purpose be? #TheExtraordinaraires

[Kelsey Garner @MrsGarner_5thGr]

Ss ended the week with a scavenger hunt since we read a story about one. They had awesome teamwork!

[Kelsey Garner @MrsGarner_5thGr]

@jmill517 @dougand32 We won’t be able to do this because we do a big Veteran’s Day activity where our Ss write letters to veterans inviting them to a prayer service. We will be working on this during that exact timeline. Sounds fun though! Bummed we can’t do it.
