Spring Break Theme for our Zoom meeting! We dressed up for where we were supposed to go/wanted to go for spring break! The kids (and I) loved it! #springbreak2020 @EmilyBoatright @pointsbyPortee @ptyut1999 @CarstarphenMJ @apsupdate @APS_SmithAP @SarahSmithEF @APS_SarahSmith

We’re getting used to our virtual classroom! Today we used kinesthetic learning to review angles before using it to sort polygons! #wegotthis #distancelearning @EmilyBoatright @pointsbyPortee @ptyut1999 @CarstarphenMJ @apsupdate @APS_SmithAP @SarahSmithEF @APS_SarahSmith

Students are still dying to hear what happens in our class chapter 📖! Idea: I had kids write in when they heard words with prefixes/suffixes and the meaning of the word! @EmilyBoatright @pointsbyPortee @ptyut1999 @APS_SmithAP @SarahSmithEF @APS_SarahSmith @msjenniferbarry

Working on writing a story & a student wanted it to be set during traffic. Student comes up... “Ms.D when are more cars on the road, during rush hour or happy hour?” 😂

Writing stories from the point of view of a Thanksgiving turkey wouldn’t be the same if they couldn’t use a beak to peck their stories! @EmilyBoatright @pointsbyPortee @ptyut1999 @APS_SmithAP @SarahSmithEF @APS_SarahSmith @msjenniferbarry

What to do waiting for afternoon dismissal... Idiom Charades!! The kids were so creative! Thankfully, we didn’t capture my example of “break a leg” ! 😂 @EmilyBoatright @pointsbyPortee @ptyut1999 @APS_SmithAP @SarahSmithEF @APS_SarahSmith @msjenniferbarry

Our Abstract Noun Project was a success! Students made a poster showcasing abstract nouns they have and dressed up like 1! ❤️ learning more and more about these awesome kiddos! @EmilyBoatright @pointsbyPortee @ptyut1999 @APS_SmithAP @SarahSmithEF @APS_SarahSmith @msjenniferbarry

Today in math small groups, we explored making equal groups for modeling multiplication! @EmilyBoatright @pointsbyPortee @ptyut1999 @APS_SmithAP @SarahSmithEF @APS_SarahSmith @msjenniferbarry

Who says reviewing place value has to be done on a worksheet?!? We got some wiggles out by hopping to different place values! #Kinestheticlearners @EmilyBoatright @pointsbyPortee @ptyut1999 @APS_SmithAP @SarahSmithEF @APS_SarahSmith @msjenniferbarry
