Why is play important in schools? This firstie just had to sound out words for her party invitations in fantasy land. Integration at its finest and she was motivated all on her own! Next up: making tea for the dolls! @Hoffmann1stPKE#playPKE#GSDP202E
We found inchworms at snack time! Ss were curious how they were moving without legs. After some more observation, they found that they do in fact have tiny legs that help them move! 🔎 #cpsbest#scholarsfirst
We have some excited @seigelsfirsties here getting some awesome STEM book packs thanks to United Way and @EquipmentShare! Thanks for your generosity! #cpsbest#playpke
We performed the poem “Dreams” by Langston Hughes today in a Music Integration lesson! Ss got to pick instruments or movements to go along with the poem. Thanks @MrsFullersClass for having us! #cpsbest#playPKE
We learned my favorite storybox today, Gotta Go Gotta Go! Firsties were so excited to see all of the characters and sing along with the story. We can’t wait to start retelling it in stations next week! 🐛#playPKE#cpsbest
Firsties chose a person we learned about in #BHM to research more with their groups. They did such a great job with our first collaborative research project! #playPKE#CPSbest
Highlights of my day: 1. Swapping out bags of read alouds with @Ms_Elam1st and @seigelsfirsties 2. Meeting these sweethearts through the window🐶 @ParkadePanthers
We finished up Black History Month by researching a famous African American. 1st graders did a great job making sure they included facts, a portrait, and took turns speaking! Next step: learning how to keep away from the mic when presenting 😅. https://t.co/tOEANaPWNF
“Once upon a time there was a wedding and the wedding fell over.” Guess I’ve made it to my 8th wedding of the year now thanks to these firsties! #playPKE
