@MrsViaudArt @kehindewileyart @WPSWashington @wyckoffschools @MsRossTeaches Look how amazing they look in our classroom! These self portraits really added so much warmth to our room and make the students feel like it is “their” classroom.

Learning is fun in 2L! We played Math Baseball to practice our facts, Freeze Dance to practice our reading fluency, and Boom, Clap, Snatch to review our word study patterns. @WPSWashington

Welcome Marshmallow Summer! 2L loves taking care of our class hamster and we have the best families who help take care of her at home as well. We love sharing about our special time with her in our Marshmallow Summer notebook and can’t wait for more adventures! @WPSWashington

1L authors loved sharing our nonfiction stories with KD today! It was exciting to see how proud the first graders were to read their work to the kindergartners and how engaged the kindergartners were! @WPSWashington @mrsjdanon

It was such a joy to see the pure amazement and excitement on the students’ faces while they discovered that sound CAN be seen and felt. #inquiry #provocations

[Washington School @WPSWashington]

What does sound look like? What does sound feel like? 1L scientists had fun exploring these questions. @MrsLutzer

“When I banged the tuning fork and put it in the rice I saw the rice jump!”

“The tuning fork made the water splash out because of the vibration.”

Word wizards in action!

1L went walking. What did we see…?

Preparing for our first pattern book writing! Using the book I Went Walking by Sue Williams as a mentor text, we went for a walk and documented what we saw. We can’t wait to write our own books! @WPSWashington @wyckoffschools

[Arielle Lutzer @MrsLutzer]

We worked together to tell a story using the light table.

“It’s a snow pup under a rainbow.” “This is a baseball game and the coach came over to the the player who got hurt.” “This is a house and the dad is trying to get the kid to eat!”@WPSWashington

[Arielle Lutzer @MrsLutzer]

Starting off the year with our first number talk. How do you know this is 5?

“2 and 2 make 4 and 1 more makes 5.”

“That’s what 5 looks like on a dice.”

“I see 4 in the corners and 1 in the middle, which is 5.”
