So proud of this amazing actor and student of mine! He is Ralphie, from A Christmas Story! Such an amazing performance by him… and his mother as Ms. Shields! Oodles of talent!
After completing the shape trilogy by @macbarnett and @burstofbeaden we brainstormed who that mystery shape could be?! But our running theory is that square is a lot sneakier than we think 😉 Such a fun literacy connection to our geometry unit!
A former student brought me this letter this morning. So much to love about this 😍😍😍 I also love that the book she remembers is Fenway and Hattie @victoriajcoe! Such a memorable book!
First semester this student struggled with phonemic awareness skills…including rhyming and blending. Fast forward to May and check out this realistic fiction writing…without any teacher help! Explicit phonics instruction works y’all. So proud of this kiddo.
@gregtangmath My first graders LOVE snake! The best part— when they realize their final answer isn’t correct and they ask for help finding where they went wrong. Never any frustration or anger having to fix it…amazing! Thanks for making math fun 🤩
In August she didn’t know any English or any letters of the alphabet. Today she wrote this to me by herself. This is why I teach. “I love to go to school. Silverboard I love you.” 😭❤️
Super excited to start March Mathness next week! Each day students will solve 2 problems, and the one with the biggest answer moves on. Can’t take credit- saw it on Instagram 😆
