The night before the first day of the school year was a success with this read aloud! Excited for a year of learning, growing, and class family relationships with my second graders! ❤️

YOU can change the climate and culture of your grade level, your department, your coaching staff, your school. If you are waiting for someone else to change it, you could be waiting forever.

We want to see celebrations of #FLteachers all week long! Tag @EducationFL on Twitter with the hashtag #FLlovesTeachers!

Grateful that many of my Ss parents gave me permission to do a surprise sign drop off. I know they will be excited to see them! I am keeping my Ss safe while letting them know I’m still here for them because our class relationships and their well-being are so important to me!❤️

Tonight’s pajama party was so much fun! This little Koala has a growth mindset just like my students! Life is about progress, not perfection! 💗

Gizmo is ready for another day of distance learning. He’s excited about tonight’s virtual PJ party and Storytime with the class!

Distance learning week 2 is in full swing. Learning about landforms is especially fun when creativity and food are involved! This student chose to show plains, water, and mountains in her creation! YUM! 🌎

@brewerhm @dbc_inc @TaraMartinEDU @burgess_shelley @burgessdave YES! I would love to have one to read, apply knowledge from, and pass on to another educator that could use a little inspiration!

[Toccoa King @mrstoccoaking]

Zoom calls with my first graders are my favorite. Seeing these Ss in their homes with their amazing, hard-working families is so rewarding! First call of the day with some of the class was wonderful! MSA, we are ready for another week of virtual learning!❤️🦉

[Hamish Brewer @brewerhm]

Continue to support, celebrate & lift each other up. For some educators we have been operating virtually for a few weeks, for others being told school is closing is just coming. We will all need someone special to support & lift us up at some point along the journey!

My Ss have a creative task each day for part of their distance learning. Today’s task was to create a song or poem. This student chose to sing about her pets and she rocked it! Missing my firsties so much! ❤️

Ss loved reading our CKLA Skills story in the dark with their partners this morning. Ss became “top secret text detectives” while searching for text evidence to refer to during their discussion about key details and author’s purpose.

[Toccoa King @mrstoccoaking]

@MSA_PTA @MSA_Owls We are absolutely loving each one! Thank you again! 🦉❤️

[Madison Street Academy PTA @MSA_PTA]

MSA PTA recently purchased books to add to Mrs. King’s classroom library, & last week we received these wonderful thank you notes from her students. We are so glad they are enjoying the books! 🦉 ❤️ 📚 @MSA_Owls @mrstoccoaking

[Toccoa King @mrstoccoaking]

CAUTION! Students hard at work while comparing and contrasting informational texts today. Ss used their “toolbox” of vocabulary and knowledge to compare and contrast texts with a partner.

[Toccoa King @mrstoccoaking]

Ss found out which books were provided by a @MSA_PTA grant for our class library. These firsties love learning the new, rigorous vocabulary in the first book of “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” thanks to our awesome PTA! 🎉

[Toccoa King @mrstoccoaking]

These firsties are spreading a little happiness with their kindness matters buttons on their backpacks! 💗

[Toccoa King @mrstoccoaking]

We had an amazing friendship celebration in our classroom today! A huge thank you to the parent volunteers that came to help run center stations! ❤️
