Practicing our stamina & expectations for our Daily Five Word Work Station. Students are sorting pictures into categories. Soon we will be sorting spelling words!

In Math today we arranged ordinal numbers in order from 1st to 10th. Hands on Learning is the most fun in Math!

[Mrs. Kavanagh's Class @kavanaghsclass]

This week we read The Dot by Peter Reynolds and then watched him on our smartboard talking about illustrating! It's fun when we get to see real authors talk about their work!

@KerriSpitler @The_Pigeon @CESGoPanthers @BESGoCardinals Aaawwwww love this!

[Mrs. Kavanagh's Class @kavanaghsclass]

How can I not start my day off with a smile after a student giving me these gorgeous peonies! ❤

[Mrs. Kavanagh's Class @kavanaghsclass]

Science is always fun when it's hands on learning. We went outside for a Living & Nonliving scavenger hunt! @MTinsman_edu @lstanley_edu @Panthers_PTO

[Mrs. Kavanagh's Class @kavanaghsclass]

Teaching isn't always about learning content & SOL's. It's about bonding and relationship building with your students, even if the bonding is finding out we have similar dresses & planning to wear them on the same day! (Permission given from the parent to post.) @MTinsman_edu

[Mrs. Kavanagh's Class @kavanaghsclass]

Playing a game of barter and trade in our Economics Lesson. The students love hands on activities to learn. Smaller group sizes, lots of hand sanitizer and staying 3 ft apart at our desks are ways we stay safe yet still have fun! @MTinsman_edu @lstanley_edu @Panthers_PTO

The book walk was so much fun! Thanks Mrs. Bishop! @DGCooleyLibrary @MTinsman_edu @lstanley_edu @CESGoPanthers

[Mrs. Kavanagh's Class @kavanaghsclass]

My class is talking about author & illustrators voice in their writing & drawings. We looked at many Eric Carle & Jan Brett books, both have distinctive voice in their illustrations. I love all that I learned in my Writing Class. @CESGoPanthers @MTinsman_edu @lstanley_edu
