Distance Learning Cooperative group work at its finest! Way to go Mustangs! ⁦@mission_rusd⁩ ⁦@RedlandsUSD⁩

Becoming an Idiom was always a favorite lesson of mine in the classroom, but it’s even more fun doing it at home with #distancelearning! Now we have the opportunity to practice all types of figurative language multiple times throughout the day!

This week we built our plant and animal cells at home and blended in some family work with it to make it even more fun and meaningful! These fifth graded exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond! Way to go Mountaineers!

Body movement = Brain Movement and Coach Vanderfin definitely got my students Neurons working during his guest appearance! What a fun and creative way to exercise! Thanks for joining us Coach V! Not only did we have fun but we had a great workout too! @RedlandsUSD

These two have been bringing so many giggles to our classroom! Mr. and Mrs.Spud like you “check in” with my students and they always get a kick out of my silly shenanigans. Even with distance learning we’re building a strong classroom community and having fun while doing it!

Another favorite classroom management idea that I’ve seen tons of variations of and works perfectly for homeschool or distance learning is Puzzle Wars! Puzzle Wars was always something my students loved and this was… https://t.co/GFkfaoY64h
