Late post... but we had a mental math practice session. The students had to visualize and create mental images toward solving the problems given. I told them to visualize themselves drawing circles/dots on their whiteboards. That really helped! They were in deep thinking! 🤩✨

Exploring "long a" and "silent e" during small group reading. I've been teaching the students to try the short & long vowel sounds when sounding out words. The goal is to listen to see if the word makes sense. Real word or a nonsense word? Does it fit the picture/sentence? 🤔

Heyyy... what's poppin??? Oh, it's just CVC blends with poppits! They were blending and popping away! Lol! 🤗💖 #independentphonicsstation

Just brain breaking before testing. Cosmic Kids Yoga! They love it! My goal was to get their brains activated toward increasing their ability to think and focus while testing... very imperative for students who struggle with impulse regulation. 💛

They love it when I pull out the whisper phones! 🤩 Although, a few of them are still learning how to whisper LOL! I'm boldy declaring that all of my sweet Bravos will be reading on at least an independent level D by the end of this school year. Yesss, I'm a teacher of faith! 💖

I am that teacher who teaches her students that their fingers are a fundamental resource when it comes to math. I enjoy teaching students ways to help themselves do math. Knowing the answer is great but critical thinking & using basic tools to find the answer is just as great! 💙

Spring has sprung! Let the warm sunshine and the popsicles begin! We love music, singing, and dancing... so of course, we had to add a little of our own flavor to the flavors! 🌼🤩

Yep... that's definitely my class! 😂

In-school fieldtrip with Scaly Adventures! The Bravos (unlike myself when it comes to reptiles) were fearless! 🤗

St. Patrick's Day rhyming fun! The kiddos loved it! 🤗☘️🌈

Just two friends solving a word problem together. I love creating word problems using the students as the "who/naming part" in the problem. These two sunshines collaborated to illustrate & solve a word problem involving themselves. They talked it out, then worked it out! ❤️

Somewhere over the rainbow... there's a brilliant group of kindergartners who can tell you ALL about CVC words! Need help with a consonant-vowel-consonant??? Well... Kinder-Panthers to the rescue!! ☘️💚🌈✨

Independent reading! 🤩 Building their stamina by reading the whole time. I'm very proud of the growth the entire class is showing in reading. 💚❤️✨

Oh nothing... just playing in the dirt! 🤗 Sometimes learning requires getting your hands dirty! #activelearning #realscience 😍

Popsicle blends! Blending onsets and rimes to decode/read CVC words! See it, touch it, say it, write it! The multisensory approach! 🤩

Using their unfix cubes along with their number bond playmats to determine if the number sentences are true/false. I pitched some "higher-order" thinking questions to help them verbalize & explain their mathematical reasoning. Need it solved? Bravos to the rescue! #mathbusters 🤩

Working on our "How to Build a Snowman" process board & display for the hall. I'm a firm believer that students' art should always represent the individualized creativity of each student. It's not authentic creativity if it all looks the same. Embracing artistic diversity. ☃️❄️💙
