@MrsDShadrach @abigaildrew20 Such an awesome session!! I’m excited to start using some of these math fact fluency strategies with my class!

Thank you @MusicalYoung for showcasing our @Hamilton_LN 1st Graders tonight at their winter concert! Special guests were Linden Chorus 🐆💙🐆

I usually read a story. However, our young authors have also participated in this task, reading their OWN work to the class. They have been working hard at finger stretching their words, using their phonics knowledge, and all the writing practices. #gofirstiesgo #Linden

A few of our Most Magnificent Things have been completed and put up in our room!! A voice level indicator (to help us figure out which voice level we should be at) and some brand new bathroom passes will be very helpful additions to our classroom, I think! ☺️ #gofirstiesgo

@MrsCookHCSD @AuraParker @Hamilton_LN @jillarvinhines @Hamilton_Instr @Hamilton_EleIns Thank you for coming to read to my firsties! They talked about the power of “yet” and the “magic word” all day!!

Kinders hard at work on carousel writing, sharing all the things they know about snowy owls! They focused so hard on counting words in a sentence, working together to sound out their words, applying their writing skills (finger spaces, punctuation, etc) and more! #kinderscan

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

I love seeing these young authors share their writing!! #onelinden #kinderscan @KatieMillerEd

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

One of my favorite things is having the opportunity to watch our class learn from one of their peers!! They’re on a roll!! #onelinden #kinderscan @KatieMillerEd

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

Gave our class some markers and some big paper during independent learning time, and told them to make me a poster about something that they love or are thinking about (because writers share their thinking). Look at these writers go! #onelinden #kinderscan

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

Today, we continued learning about informational writing! We learned that illustrations can give us information. Students got to explore nonfiction texts, writing about the illustrations they saw and answering the question, “what can I learn from these illustrations?” #kinderscan

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

Carousel writing today!! We ROCKED it!!

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

Today, we introduced the Jigsaw structure while learning about problem and solution! Half of the class identified a problem in the story Stellaluna, and the other half identified the solution, then they got to teach a partner. They did great!! @KatieMillerEd #kinderscan

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

“Great writers write about things they love and know a lot about!” SO much thought and effort went into their stories, and I can’t wait to watch these thoughts and stories grow into AMAZING writing!! @KatieMillerEd

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

Loved watching/hearing these kinders already finger stretching and writing out CVC words during managed independent learning time!! Way to go, kinders!! #kinderscan #risetothechallenge #lindenleopards @KatieMillerEd

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

@MrsCookHCSD @KatieMillerEd @Hamilton_LN @Hamilton_Instr Thank you for coming in and writing with us!! Our class had a blast!

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

Today, we started our SEL (Social Emotional Learning) curriculum, Second Step! Our class really enjoyed this lesson on listening and thinking..especially this game of “Slap, Clap, Stomp!” @KatieMillerEd

[Brittany Gabbard @bgabbard104]

Last week, we did an All About Me unit. At the end of the week, students brought in bags that contained items that represented things they love. It was an awesome opportunity to get to know each other better, and to make self to text connections to our read alouds! @KatieMillerEd
