Kindergartners went outside to the garden today! We planted arugula, basil, tomatoes, pumpkins, marigolds, and snap peas. We are so excited to watch our garden grow 🌱 @Hawk_Principal

[Liz Class @MrsClassGrade5]

Debates about these topics were so engaging too! #lpshawks #relevantresearch

Hey #lpsHAWKS, Harry the Hawk is ready for Spirit Day today with his "We All Belong" shirt on! WHOA! @BernieSanders is watching Harry like a hawk (😂), making sure he's staying safe at school! #schoolspirit #joyinlearning (or #joyinmittens?🤣) @Hawk_Principal @lexingtonsuper

We learned about rhyming today in kindergarten! This student identified and circled the sounds that made each word rhyme. What other words could we have rhymed with car or cat? #kindergartenwordstudy

I walked in to KG as they were wrapping up their Fundations work...”T-top-/t/!” Learners couldn’t resist finding/listening for/thinking of other words that start with the /t/ sound: Talk, Table, Tooth, Tap... where do you hear/see the /t/ sound around you? #LPSHawks @ms_shediac

[Alexandra Shediac @ms_shediac]

Thank you for the words of encouragement this morning, @Hawk_Principal 🤗

Learning about the letter T today in kindergarten! Our scholars used their thinking brains to come up with words that start with T!

My Kindergarten Mathematicians are so smart!

[André Pelletier @Harrington_AP]

Just asked a Mathematician in KG “How many leaves altogether?” Their response: 3+3 is 6, 6+4 is 10 Can you figure out what they saw here? #LPSHawks

[André Pelletier @Harrington_AP]

This Mathematician COUNTED ALL to find out there are 20 leaves altogether. How would you combine these numbers? #LPSHawks

[Alexandra Shediac @ms_shediac]

Today in #kindergarten science, we went for a nature walk and made hand trees with the leaves we found 🍂 #LPSHawks

This morning's #LPSHawks morning announcement joke of the day:
What does a panda ghost eat?
Bam-BOO!
Thanks to a @bobbybonesshow Morning Corny from @RadioAmy 😁

It can be hard to tell what's going on behind a child's misbehavior at any given moment.

Yesterday’s EPIC battle of the Tomato Monster and Minions versus the Broccoli Squirrels... stay tuned @HarringtonHAWKS #LPSHawks

This week, we’ve been reading Where the Sidewalk Ends by one of my favorite poets, Shel Silverstein. I recommend this book if you haven’t already read his poems!

[Alexandra Shediac @ms_shediac]

A @HarringtonHAWKS 5th grade superstar taught me how to make an origami boat yesterday. Mine is a little wrinkled but I’m working on it!

YES! So many of your students find their voice when they can record it rather than write it. Many times they will share more than you ever thought. It is so important to provide students with a variety of options when responding.
