You canβt overstate the importance of the first 45 minutes of the first day of class.
Students ask:
1. Can I trust you?
2. Is this a safe space?
3. Does my voice/perspective matter?
4. Can I succeed in this class?
5. Do you care about me? #edchat
Our @ExploreCentral parents in @lutzlearns' first grade class participated in a writing celebration today, where students read drafts of their stories and received written feedback from parents.
It's amazing to see how engaged our parents are throughout our schools!

Hey, hey, what do you say? ITβS GLOBAL PLAY DAY! Although we play at the end of the day everyday, we are dedicating even more time to it today. Play matters! #D39Online#CentralFoxes#globalplayday#playmatters
Reasoning with numbers within 20. Playing Yahtzee to practice identifying one or two more than a given number. Such great practice as we continue to explore various addition and subtraction strategies. #d39online#CentralFoxes
Letβs kick it up a notch! Instead of rolling a die and comparing the number, we are rolling, adding 10, and then comparing to apply what we have learned about place value and number patterns. #d39online#CentralFoxes
We launched a new unit of study in science: states of matter. We are in the process of sorting and identifying solids in our interactive science journals. #d39online#CentralFoxes
These amazing readers are continuing to build amazing habits during reading workshop. Did you know...partners work together to get super smart about nonfiction topics. They stop, study the page, and chat about what they are noticing and learning. #d39online#CentralFoxes
Enriching our understanding of place value, specifically tens and ones, within 20 using a group game during Math Workshop. #d39online#mathematicians@ExploreCentral
