Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell

Second grade co-teachers at Jamestown Elementary in Arlington, VA. We love teaching, learning, personalizing, and trying new things!

It’s hard to get as excited for the start of the school year as usual, but it helps to have great coworkers and leaders who remind you to take care of yourself first! @McCarthyM_JES gave us time for that & I jogged last @ASFSOnline. Truly missing all the Jtown students & staff!

Thinking about genius hour and passion projects for 2nd graders at home 🧐 @amteaching @APSPersonalized #remotelearning #personalizedlearning

[Renee White @ReneeLWhite5]

Excited to share this assignment with my students this Friday! 😆I made my #GeniusHour research guide into a @Seesaw activity for students to begin their own @geniushour projects at home during #remotelearning for their flex Fridays. #HAWKSsoar #inquirybasedlearning #COVIDー19

I am so excited about this and looking forward to watching. @AndrechikMary @APS_EarlyChild @JamestownReads @McCarthyM_JES @adm_crjackson @EdLeaderShana

We feel honored to be mentioned on the resource page, and excited to try all these new ideas! 🙌#distancelearning #remotelearning @JtownMath

Day 14(?): We usually have students lead science experiments once a week. It’s one of our favorite parts of the week, so we’re hoping our kids who didn’t get a chance yet will still share one on @Seesaw!

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

We think it's Day 12? The days are blending together. Come share a book recommendation with @JamestownAPS second grade using @Flipgrid https://t.co/UHjHyLclmS

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

You know you’re lucky when you go to school to pick up materials and your co-teacher gives you a pack of TP! Don’t worry, we kept our distance! #coteaching #remotelearning #wewantedtohug

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

Day 9: We asked Ss to find a plant, flower, or leaf that is just starting to sprout, and to observe it over the next week and take pictures, make notes, or draw changes they see on @Seesaw. What a perfect time to be studying plant life cycles! #remotelearning #outdoorlearning

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

Day 8: Today we shared a read-aloud of Library Lion by @michelleknudsen and asked Ss to write a story starting with “One day a lion came to our classroom...” These days it doesn’t sound like the craziest thing to happen to a class! We can’t wait to see our Ss’ work on @Seesaw!

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

What a great activity for a nice weather day! #remotelearning #mathtalk

Day 7: we missed yesterday, devastated that we won’t be returning this school year! Many people need a note of encouragement. Write a friendly letter to a friend, neighbor, teacher or family member. Post @Seesaw

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

@AndrechikMary @geniushour @Seesaw @APSPersonalized @JamestownAPS What book are you reading? Maybe we will join!

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

Day 5: we may not be at school today but you can still have @geniushour at home! What are you going to research or create today? We have been researching the Solar System and making a model of the planets! Show us here or on @Seesaw @APSPersonalized @JamestownAPS

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

Day 4: We are grateful for this warm weather! We loved sharing pics from our walks with @McCarthyM_JES. What will you find on your walk? #distancelearning #remotelearning #outdoorlearning

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

Day 3: https://t.co/WCUxn0niTU here is a great resource for all the virtual read-alouds! What are you reading today? We are reading a lot of Piggie and Gerald!

[Mrs. Fallone and Mrs. Mackrell @explorers_learn]

Day 2 of school at home - here is a twist on an @Exemplars question we love:

Chairs have legs. People have legs. How many legs are in your house?

For our kiddos - share your thinking in @Seesaw!

@ABCassels Love it - missing this guy already! Can’t wait to see the comics he creates during this time! 💡
