My crazy 5th grade homeroom class won the Italian ice party for black history month 100% “lift every voice” t-shirt participation challenge!! And I only reminded them once this week! 😱🥰

Had a great start to the week! The kids were energized and ready to learn!

Cinderella made an appearance in fifth grade for our Disney day! The kids said “today was such a great way to end our in person week before spring break!” Couldn’t agree more.

It was great seeing our learners today. Enjoy this little video of our reverse parade today.

Today I finished packing up my classroom for the summer and I’m so sad that this year ended how it did. With only a couple weeks of school left I reflected on this year and wrote my students a farewell letter. I love my kiddos and this job. It’s the most rewarding one of all 💕

@PasquaMusic @EmilyMroch @western161 @D161Supe I FOUND IT! It’s called video mirror!

If learning to write backwards so your child can read the problems in math virtual meetings, I will learn this new talent! @western161 @D161Supe

[Miss Gear @Ms_Gear_]

We definitely had done great laughs in the process.

my homeroom participated in a SEL activity focusing on listening skills and communicating using specifically details by having partners either describe a picture or draw picture their partner described. The kids loved the activity and the meaning behind it. @western161

Affirmations for Valentine’s Day! These are some of my favorites. I love my staff so much, thank you everyone!

Here are some artifacts that the kids learned about this morning at DuSable. We also watched an incredible performance about the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King Jr.

[Miss Gear @Ms_Gear_]

Fifth grade went to DuSable African American History Museum this morning of celebrating Black History Month! There’s more to learning our history than in just textbooks. What a great way to spend the morning! @western161

[Miss Gear @Ms_Gear_]

Happy Valentine’s Day!! @western161 @NatalieMcgathey

[Miss Gear @Ms_Gear_]

I love when students take the time to focus on the meaning behind Black History Month independently! @western161

[Miss Gear @Ms_Gear_]

Practicing whole numbers by fraction multiplication with our workplace games again! I think we’re getting the hang of it! @western161 @D161Supe
