Today, we used our sense of smell to guess scents. Some guesses included pears, vinegar, and even stinky socks! 🧦 We can't wait for Science tomorrow to discover what the scents actually are! 👃

My personal PD goal this year was to make independent reading more engaging. I've been giving my students a task that links the lesson's objective to their own reading. It's been amazing to see them so immersed in their reading!! 📚
