I was going through my phone, sending pictures to parents of their kids throughout the year, and I came across this. It is right when you walk in my classroom door. I miss these kids and our happy classroom. ☀️
It was obvious my class did NOT have the necessary background knowledge to read Esperanza Rising when one of my kids asked “What is that big state you drew below Texas?” 😳 We are building background knowledge & keeping track of the settings on our map!
When you haven’t been outside to recess in what feels like YEARS, dancing to the Jailhouse Rock seems like a very appropriate recess activity. 🎸 @gardendaleel
