Thanks to @mrswilsons2nd and @nm_prater for a great session on Children's Literature and Promoting Culturally Responsive Classrooms! Now I've got to start shopping to expand my classroom library! #fcpslitcon#K8LitCon
Our special guest speaker today was UK football player, Walker Wood @Wood7Walker. He read Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner. The kids loved it! I think their favorite part was giving him high fives before he left. Thanks, Walker!
Today's special guest reader was FCPS Superintendent, Manny Caulk. You should have heard his different voices when reading, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.The kids loved visiting with Mr. Caulk&really loved that he gave us a copy of the book to keep in our class library.
Changing up our center rotations by adding movements breaks in between each center! So exciting! Today we practiced jumping jacks, medicine ball, walk the line, take a lap, weight lifting and sit-ups and push-ups. Kids gotta move! #JLAjourney#jlaproud
On the second day back after spring break we spent time giving compliments as we made "Compli-mats" for our classmates. Building relationships is so important to learning! #jlaproud
These first few days back to school after spring break have been about reconnecting and getting back into the groove of things. On our first day back, we spent time on team building activities.... Building towers using marshmallows, toothpicks and straws! So much fun! #jlaproud
We were feeling the lβ€οΈve today... Love for our ice cream sundaes! So yummy! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! I love that I get to spend my days with these awesome kiddos!
