Next up, students are going to write about why someone should visit either Bennett Elementary, McKinney, the Dallas area, or Texas. Can’t wait for my kiddos to return from lunch to see their reasons why! #bearshine#LoveMySchoolDay#LoveMySchoolDay2018
Media Literacy sort to review types of media. Then we shared the purpose for examples seen in the community! My ❤️ fluttered when this was said about books.. “.. but Ms. Bleeker.. what if it’s informing AND entertaining?!?” 💙 #bearshine#LoveMySchoolDay#LoveMySchoolDay2018
It is impossible to know everything about anything. Even published books get revisions, new editions, and sequels. Learning never stops. #lifelonglearning#teachergoals
During STAAR testing, firsties get to play at the nearby park during recess so that our regular playground doesn’t get too loud and distracting for our terrific test takers. They don’t mind this purposeful act of kindness! #bearshine#LoveMySchoolDay#LoveMySchoolDay2018
During problem solving at teacher table, S13 said, “Um excuse me, Ms. Bleeker? I know the answer. It’s 18.” These kids are proud of their strategies! #bearshine
Today in our media literacy lesson, we are discussing TOOLS that are used to make media successful- images, photographs, videos, words, graphics, music, etc- and how they are most successful when they assist in the purpose. #bearshine
This week we are improving our media literacy. Yesterday we learned about types of media and their purpose. We looked at examples and decided if their purpose was to inform or entertain. Ask your child about this when you see media out and about! #bearshine
Using @Seesaw to practice writing and reading our words of the week (word wall words and sight words). Great way for students to practice independently in a way that allows me to check in to see how they are doing! #bearshine
🐻🐾Ms. Holder-HEN🐥was excited to HOOK our @BennettBears 1st graders for their upcoming Science unit. Thanks for letting me share this fun leaning time w/BEST students. #bearshine#MyMISD
Check out what our fab firsties are up to this week in ELAR- SO awesome! They are returning from their #GoogleExpeditions completely INVIGORATED and EXCITED to write, Write, WRITE! 🌎🗺📝 Thank you, @AngStallbaumer!! #bearshine https://t.co/09OG7RVSrf
My firsties are EXpository “EXplain-it” readers 📚 and writers 📝!! They are reading on @EpicKidsBooks and #PebbleGo (@CapstonePub) about a topic of their choice. They LOVE it! Then they are adding some pretty awesome pieces to their writing folders this week! #bearshine
One math station this week reviewed regular vs. irregular shapes. Students used regular shapes to build a “Regular Ralph” and irregular shapes to build an “Irregular Irene” to post on @Seesaw. I’m looking forward to checking out the results this weekend! 😀 #bearshine
This is what my kids wanted to me write as the tweet for this video, “Our class loves our ‘Fake Friday’ with our Friday jobs and fun seats! #tgiff#thursday” 😂 Love it! #bearshine
We were SO EXCITED 😃 to open our packages 📦 today that included these 2️⃣ bike 🚲 petals! Kids can move, groove, and wiggle WHILE working towards their academic goals. 🙌🏻 Thank you Bennett PTO!!! #bearshine
Firsties 🖤’d our hands on Rock Report and our Rock DIYs this week. I think it’s safe to say that they think this science unit ROCKS! Thanks, @MrsFanning1st! 👩🏼🔬 #bearshine
