Building relationships 💙 A good behavior report for the whole day earned this kiddo an incentive-and he wanted to play chess with Mrs. Williams! (He totally kicked my booty, too.) 😅
Here’s to year 8! First year co-teaching with the BEST teacher bestie! The note in the last pic was handed to me at dismissal, by a boy with tears in his eyes who came to us with a lot of trauma, and who could only read THREE words per minute. Look at him, now. 🥹💙
Last week, we read the book, “The Patchwork Quilt,” and today a handful of our students showed up with this for us! 🥺 Their very own patchwork quilt created from all of their pieces of art 💙 We will cherish this forever! @Brookwood_HCSD
My teacher heart was so full in library today! These kids have heard me praise @PatriciaPolacco all year as my favorite author, and today they asked where they could find her books. ❤️📚
Today we continued with the second part of our opinion writing. This class has some strong opinions about one thing in particular: Cincinnati style chili! So we are reading articles about Gold Star and Skyline to inform our opinions on which is better. Feeling hungry??
Who says you can’t have fun AND learn on Halloween? Our 3rd graders LOVED getting to spend time with @BWAsstPHCSD and her pup, Beau as a reward for state testing!
3rd grade squad is READY to rock out state testing this week! Telling our students to do their best but reminding them that they are MORE than a number 💙

Hands-on experience is the most fun experience! 3rd graders described how to carve a pumpkin, and then had to put their knowledge to the real test! The best part was keeping this fun day a surprise and seeing their reactions when they walked in!
Sitting here watching football and feeling so happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone and decided to run with a digital reader’s notebook. Quick feedback, and it’s so much easier to bring home 1 laptop instead of 46 notebooks!
Today students worked on revising their short-writes with peer review. These kids were laser-focused during writer’s workshop!

Can we talk about how amazing my co-teacher is? Reading student short-writes just isn’t the same unless you’re standing on a chair and holding a microphone 🤣 and look at the student engagement! 👏 I got myself a good one.
