New grade, same (but different) games 🏀

[Annie O'Doherty @mrs_odoherty]

I could not have anticipated the JOY these 4th graders would get from playing with cars/trucks 🤩

Investigating the science of speed with @hesstoytruck

Text-dependent questions, but make it a ✨game✨

Shout out to the student who walked in this morning and said, “…wrong holiday!”

When you catch a couple boys goofily running their fingers through their hair during silent work time… You have a little fun with them!

A certain Secret Kindness Agent keeps leaving me sweet notes! My super power is recognizing handwriting, so I may or may not know who the Secret Agent (former student) is 😏🤫

The Tap Chart was a hit! Lots of stellar behavior today 🤩

[Annie O'Doherty @mrs_odoherty]

Thank you, @hesstoytruck! Can’t wait to explore the science of speed with my 4th graders! 🙌🏼🏎️

In addition to a new room arrangement, I’ve added some fresh incentives to reward positive behavior!

Whole class incentive: Mystery Reward

Individual incentive: Tap Chart — if I tap a student on the shoulder for good behavior, they can come pick a sticker from the Tap Chart!

When things aren’t feeling right, I know it’s time for reflection and change. No better way to spice things up than completely rearranging the room! 😆 Heres to a fresh start next week 🙌🏼

Playing, making messes, and bonding with our classmates 🥰

[Annie O'Doherty @mrs_odoherty]

When you’re so into the book group book that you go 5 minutes over the scheduled timeframe… and STILL want to continue the conversation in the hall!

[Annie O'Doherty @mrs_odoherty]

We worked on teamwork yesterday in NEST time! These kiddos finished this WHOLE puzzle in 10 minutes by working together 🤩 @EzraElementary
