*teaching a math lesson*

Me: who watches WWE and knows @WWERomanReigns ?

*students raise hands*

Me: I want you to acknowledge the greatest number when adding just like you would acknowledge the Tribal Chief

Now they 👆and shout “Acknowledge Me” with every equation🤣

Second grade collaborated with fifth grade today and experimented with chemical reaction!
We got to see what happens when we combine vinegar (liquid) and baking soda (solid). To their surprise the reaction caused the balloon to blow up (gas) before their eyes🪄👨🏽‍🔬

We spent the week writing mini personal narratives about what we like to do. The main focus was having all the parts of a good sentence.
My class of scholars knocked it out of the park! The cherry on top? They were proud and ready to share their writing🤩🫶🏼

After spending the week deep diving in the book “The Dot” we got to create our very ✨dot✨ to display in the classroom!
First we used marker to create a design on a coffee filter
Next we sprayed water onto the filter
Finally we watched the magic happen as the colors bled!

The best way to start the year is by building classroom community!! These scholars collaborated and worked as a team with the goal of making the longest paper chain! #productivestruggle #teamwork #STEM

After learning about various life cycles, we have the pleasure of homing some fertilized eggs in our classroom! Today was day 21 for them and we have 6 that have hatched🤩🐣

After our unit on plants and pollination and diving into pollination process, these scholars were challenged to make their own hand pollinator!
They were given a list of materials and had to get creative on how they were going to get the pollen from one flower to the other!

These scholars got an up close view of what happens when you add baking soda to vinegar! They made predictions as to what might happen to the balloon and were surprised when it didn’t explode 😂 #Science #handson

How adorable are these Christmas cards?! We wrote about our favorite Christmas Memory and turned it into the perfect Christmas gift for their grownups🤩🎄🎅🏼
