Everyone’s taking about their quarantine life...

In the Larson house we’re on Quarantine Week #8 (AKA Maternity Leave) and clearly it is going well for us..

I love my wife, but if she ever disappears it’s because of a phase 10 game, and at this point I’m pretty sure my argument could be pretty convincing in court

Cold Day, Warm Snuggles! I’m loving soending this extremely cold day off of school with my niece 💜

[Annie Larson @MrsLarsonKTeach]

After reading The @Peekapak Pals and The Mysterious Box with my K students today, I asked, “What is optimism?”

A student eagerly raided his hand and said, “THE PIG, THE PIG ROCK IS OPTIMISM!!”

...I think we are rereading tomorrow. But, I am #Optimistic that we will get this!😂

#SEL is so important!! @JillRollie

[Peekapak | Wellbeing Education @Peekapak]

Did you know: Kindergarten students who scored high on social-emotional skills are four time more likely to graduate from college? #SEL #education #college #kindergarten

[Annie Larson @MrsLarsonKTeach]

A4 I think it is important to educate parents. Give them the same verbiage you us in the classroom, so they can practice with their children at home too! #Peekachat

[Annie Larson @MrsLarsonKTeach]

A3 I check in with my students first thing in the morning, as soon as they walk though you door. If the recognize their body is not ready to learn, Ss choose a tool to help them regulate and start off the day on a good note! #Peekachat

[Annie Larson @MrsLarsonKTeach]

A2 we use Peekapak, Zones of Regulation and Mind and Heart building wide (16 Sections of K) in weekly SEL lessons #PeekaChat

[Annie Larson @MrsLarsonKTeach]

A2 I love using “free time” during Recess, Boost Up/Gym and Play Centers to help students develop Social Emotional skills, and problem slove using techniques we have learned in whole group! #PeekaChat

[Annie Larson @MrsLarsonKTeach]

A1 All Ss check in with Zones each morning, we incorporate how characters are feeling in books the we read, talk about how our actions make others feel &work to recognize when our body needs a break from learning, and find tools to help us get ready to learn again! #PeekaChat

[Annie Larson @MrsLarsonKTeach]

@Peekapak I’m excited to join #PeekaChat tonight! My name is Annie Larson and I am a Kindergarten teacher at Woodson Kindergarten in Austin Minnesota!

[Annie Larson @MrsLarsonKTeach]

A6 I set individual goals for each of my Ss in the areas of Math, Reading, Social Emotional (and Language for my ELL Ss) I discuss these goals with parents are conferences. It is lot of work, but helps to keep myself, the parents and students accountable for Ss success. #ECEchat

[Annie Larson @MrsLarsonKTeach]

A5 by tracking S data from a variety of sources we are better able to support our Ss. Currently 14/23 of my K students receive services from other qualified staff My SPED, ELL, Speech, OT, DHH and Advanced Academic and GenEd students all have very unique paths to success #EceChat
