Making it work in both platforms #mesq1st #smithleopards

Our small moments books writing celebrating looked a little different this year...but the kids enthusiasm for writing and support for each other was more than I could hope for! #mesq1st #smithleopards

[Mrs. Austin @Austins_class]

Inquiry and research is in full swing! The kids are using some resources from @MichelleObama’s #letsmove initiative to research how games can be a part of a healthy lifestyle! #mesquite1st #smithleopards

@Ms_Lingle @BJ__Smith Not as much as you made his day when you wrote a note back! Direct quote was, “Ms. Lingle’s real real nice.” Said with the biggest grin!

[Mrs. Austin @Austins_class]

So proud of my students for utilizing their strategies on their FA. Some even spread out to the floor so they could have all their resources out and ready when they needed them #smithleopards #mesq1st

A favorite classroom reward that students earn is “King/Queen for the Day”. It involves silly accents, bowing, and a crown. It costs one piece of construction paper and does wonders for classroom culture and student motivation! #mesq1st #smithleopards

We had a class meeting where the students brainstormed ideas to improve our classroom culture. We ended with a list of six takeaways that the students created and refined . #smithleopards #mesq1st

We took our foundational activity outside today for some kinesthetic phonological awareness! #mesq1st #smithleopards
