@SharayahGariepy 😆 Me, too. But I got that tray done in 5 minutes.

Sometimes teachers just need 5 minutes to declutter. #selfcare #rpscrestwood #crwgrade4

@rpsmsjackson @KDLNews Our FCF went great today, too! We have a list of kids wanting to read each of the books…including me! 🤓

More vertical alignment in writing today. We revisited the 3rd Grade Narrative Writing Checklist while reading our current 4th grade stories.

@SharayahGariepy I love being in your hallway!!! Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious!! 🐝🖤💛

@SharayahGariepy Love the hands on math fact practice. I find myself going the ‘easy’ tech route more often these days.

[Melissa Bacon @rpsbaconbits]

Prepping for Processes That Shape the Earth. I love that we have fiction and non-fiction high interest rich libraries! #rpscrestwood #crwgrade4

@jacijacksonedu 😳 is right!!!

Sweet gift from a teacher friend this week. It’s about a pig with anxiety. A little voice piped up to tell me the pig is anxious just like she is. It’s important to remember our ‘big kids’ also have those big feelings! #rpscrestwood #crwgrade4

@GleghornLauren @SharayahGariepy We’re next! I would love to hear all about it and do this with my class next week!

Desk pet update…pets and habitats have been acquired! Now to earn (and keep) Responsibility Points for more #deskpetaccessories :) #rpscrestwood #crwgrade4

@SharayahGariepy @StoryboardThat I love this! I enjoy reading about your tech and STEAM tie-ins to the MAISA lessons. I usually do this lesson without the fun extensions. I need to take cues from you and start thinking outside the box.

@MattVillasana @rpsmsjackson Yes!! We had a successful Mystery Number Meet with @rpsmsjackson this week. It was so much fun!

[Melissa Bacon @rpsbaconbits]

@GleghornLauren @SharayahGariepy So fun!! I’m betting my 4th graders would still like this project! :)

[Melissa Bacon @rpsbaconbits]

@LefurgeTam One cup per student? Awesome!! They will never forget this experience.

Student Council classroom vote today. 9 ran and 2 won. I know we can’t raise our kids to think everyone wins, but this was a tough one on the kids and on me. I’m thankful that I have some great leaders in here! #rpscrestwood #crwgrade4

@SharayahGariepy @rpsmsjackson I love this strategy! I think I need actual paper dictionaries so my 4th graders can look up their questionable spelling.

Circling back to a second grade anchor chart when asking ourselves if our character is struggling or have a conflict with someone or something. #rpscrestwood #crwgrade4

[Melissa Bacon @rpsbaconbits]

@SharayahGariepy I LOVE seeing how those lessons pop up again in fourth grade with added depth.

[Melissa Bacon @rpsbaconbits]

Brand new whiteboards!!! 🙌🏼 First time in 20 years. See the cute erasers that came with them? …This is why we can’t have nice things. #rpscrestwood #crwgrade4
