Our year ended with our Red Carpet Award Show! π I give kids a paper camera and they line up like the paparazzi to get autographs and take pictures of the celebrities. πΈ Kids love getting in a pose at the end! #schoolawards
The last week of school my students get the opportunity to "teach the teacher". I had athletes, chefs, engineers, scientists, and more. I love seeing their interests in this fun lesson!
For writing we did a poetry unit. We talked about visualizing while we read and I shared some @ShelSilverstein poems with them. He was my fav growing up and they loved him too! Each kid drew what they visualized and then we compared. Check out these awesome artists! #poety
@BellevueSchools Ray Nesbitt! He was my third grade teacher and I read the same books he read to us every year as a teacher! He was a mentor in college to me too.
May the 4th Be With You from my 2nd grade class! We took quizzes, did brain breaks, filled out mad libs and word searches, and colored some cute Baby Yodas. #MayTheFourthBeWithYou
Today we did a review game. I make up the problems ahead of time without checking the answers. As we did these kids started giggling before I checked it. I didn't realize why, the same digit answers. I randomly did 3 in a row too! Their giggles made my day! π
I love that @Seesaw allows for kids to share their understanding in their own way. My kids select a skill from their math scale and then prove how they know it. With folders it can organize all my class' ideas into one area. #scales#showwhatyouknow
@MakeTech_Pretty @Seesaw I actually didn't make an activity. I just told kids a math problem and they got to explain it in a video or with mic their own way. Then they selected the skill from the unit we worked on. I made folders for each skill and they picked it. I did it for measurement too!
I'm expecting my 4th child in June and we've made a family decision for me to take a year leave of absence from teaching. Today, students I taught a couple years ago surprised me with these notes. I'm going to be a wreck in May. π’#relationshipsmatter
