I teach 1st graders in the great state of Kansas!

Love your students first. ❤️

I am a third year teacher looking to connect with fellow educators.

Everyone's heard of a snowman, but have you ever heard of a regroup man? 😁

We made Speller Tellers to help us with our new spelling words! This was a great way for us to practice silent letter patterns as well as fine motor and listening to directions skills. We had a blast! :)

Lincoln held its Science Olympiad today. This first grade friend had a blast building and testing his very own "snowball" launcher! #LESAchieve

We worked on these 3D snowflakes for HOURS. Look at these proud friends!

We've been learning about constellations! Today we chose our favorite grouping of stars and made 3D models using marshmallows and q-tips. Here we see Draco the Dragon and Canis Minor!

It warms my heart when former students come to visit. It's even better when we're burgundy buddies! #LESAchieve

"Ms. Porras, can we clean some more?!"

Masking tape + 2nd graders = one tidy classroom! #LESAchieve

Teamwork makes the dream work! Thanks for returning our library books, boys! #LESAchieve

Let it be known that ALL 19 of my students earned a 100% on our spelling test!
We brainstormed some suggestions for a possible reward. :)

We loved using GoNoodle's Body Spell video to kinesthetically practice our spelling words. 😊

We used Play-Doh to create an item that represents who we are, worked collaboratively in small groups, and presented to the class all on the first day of school! Woohoo!
