@luluslearners @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards @LesliePowell_HE @Sherri_Swope @techwithgretz All I can say is WOW! This is a brilliant idea & a great way to teach kids the value of saving vs spending money with real-life application. Especially students that come from families with a limited income. I love playing Monopoly so I can see how upper elem. would love this!

@luluslearners @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards @LesliePowell_HE @Sherri_Swope @techwithgretz I incorporate yoga into my classroom! The students make letters of the alphabet with our bodies and do story adventures from Cosmic Kids Yoga (YouTube) The yoga moves strengthen their hand muscles and core which in turn improved their handwriting!

@luluslearners @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards @LesliePowell_HE @Sherri_Swope @techwithgretz I love the YouTube channel Art for Kids! The videos are directed drawings that all kids can follow along and complete the picture (even if the kids think they can’t draw). We incorporate this when we create books in Writer’s Workshop or as an inside recess activity!

@luluslearners @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards @LesliePowell_HE @Sherri_Swope @techwithgretz I try to include reading into multiple parts of our day. We of course do a close reading for ELA, but sometimes we use a book during a math or writing lesson. I also like to read chapter books or fun read alouds at the end of the day!

@luluslearners @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards @LesliePowell_HE @Sherri_Swope @techwithgretz I borrowed this from a PD. K writing focuses on illustrations at the BOY, so I take 1 student each day & the class does a directed drawing of them. I intro using shapes to draw, not letting the person “float” on the page, & their setting. The students improve so much from day 1!

In honor of Election Day, we decided to have our own election! Instead of voting for president in our voting booth, we voted for our favorite cookie: Oreos or chocolate chip cookies. @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards

It took me all season, but I finally made it to a flag football game. These kiddos looked like they learned a lot and had fun this season! @ClintonMoCards #CareLikeaCardinal @HenryElementary #relationshipsfirst

After learning about transportation all week the students made stop lights today! We reviewed the concepts of top, middle, & bottom when glueing these together. @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards

This week we practiced ordering numbers 1-10! @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards

[Mrs. Olson @MrsOlson_206]

This week’s Mystery Bags were another success! The students had fun guessing and I love seeing what each student brings in their bag! These items were for the letter Mm. Great job Morgan, Jaxon, & Laura! @ClintonMoCards @HenryElementary

[Mrs. Olson @MrsOlson_206]

We got that Cardinal Spirit! Go Cardinals! @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards

[Mrs. Olson @MrsOlson_206]

Each week when we learn a new letter we do Mystery Bags. There is a item in the bag & students are given clues to guess what is inside! Today Brooklyn, Anna, & Addison brought in Mystery Bags that started with the Gg sound. They did a great job! @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards

[Mrs. Olson @MrsOlson_206]

Look at these creative Cardinals! @HenryElementary @ClintonMoCards

[Mrs. Olson @MrsOlson_206]

Meet the winners of our PBS Awards for September! The character word was Respect. Brooklyn is always respectful to her teachers & other students. Davis won the Reading award. He always does a great job of reading & has worked hard on reading his sight words. @HenryElementary
