This week, to keep our random acts of kindness going, we collected dry goods for our local food pantry. I’m so grateful to be part of this community! #ellingcen

My kiddos are focusing on random acts of kindness this month. Last week, they wrote letters to our unified arts teachers ❤️🥹 #ellingcen #rak #randomactsofkindness

5th graders created this culminating project after we finished reading “Wonder” this week 🥰 @RJPalacio #ellingcen

We are using cubes to build talking towers to show how long we can build on one idea in our book clubs. These kids ROCKED it!! @TCRWP #bookclubs #ellingcen

Started our Tuesday with a little team building activity! Tallest freestanding tower! These kiddos worked hard together to problem solve!

This looks like a big ol’ mess. But these kiddos were actually gathering evidence to debate their position on our mentor text Home of the Brave! @kaaauthor @TCRWP

@SuperNicol It was truly exciting to see!! The kids loved it! I knew they came with good vibes! Thank you!

We noticed this awesome praying mantis on our way to recess today! This has to be good luck, right?!

I was so busy book chatting with kiddos today that I only got one picture— but these 5th graders are PUMPED for book clubs!! #ellingcen #bookclubs #tcrwp @TCRWP

My teacher heart is SOARING with how hard these kids have worked to pull together a TED talk on their nonfiction topic 💓 True experts!

Thanks to @MrsMadru for the idea of using the argument essay rubric in a card format! 5th graders self assessed the second drafts of their chocolate milk essays, finding parts to revise and edit! 🍫📝 #ellingcen @TCRWP

Socially distanced game of Splash to end the week!
