Gumdrop structures using the engineering design process. The goal was told hold a Harry Potter book off their desk with an original structure made of only gumdrops and toothpicks.

Hands-on learning is always the best way to start a successful year in mathematics! Check out these amazing arrays my students were able to make to match their multiplication equations.

Our refraction and reflection labs are always my favorite of the year because the kids like to say it's magic. It's not magic, it's science 🥰

Setting class goals before every topic assessment is just one way we keep ourselves motivated to use strategies and always give our best effort. So proud of their growth and sucesses so far this year!

And "sow" it begins... Each day is exciting to see whose sown seeds are beginning to germinate.

When your teacher loves plants... Growing many different types of plants with my two classes so we can study their growth, structures, and practice classifying them by their attributes later on 🥰 #handsonlearning

Had fun watching the kids compose and decompose numbers today. Loved watching them make the connections of being able to represent numbers in different ways.

It's always sad to see these beautiful informational essays go. I love reading about my students from their own perspective.

Had so much fun this afternoon watching the kids share their observations from their science lab and comment on each other's ideas.

We had so much fun yesterday with our STEM challenge. Students created a prototype of a safety mechanism to help Santa oppose gravity in case he fell out of his sleigh and land safely upright on the ground. They then communicated their designs with the Elf to be shared with Santa

Excited to have the opportunity to offer feedback on these possible curriculum options for our future 3rd grade learners.

When you have to send home students' writings but it is hard to part with them because of how cute they are! Love helping students gain a love of writing.

Cheers to 11 years!
Had a great meet the teacher, and I'm looking forward to getting the year started. Here we go third-grade!

[Kali Hurry @STREAMTeacher1]

I am so grateful for my amazing class this year! It was hard to say goodbye to them on Friday, but I am happy that not only did they learn and grow so much, but they also knew they were loved. I will miss them ❤️

Had a fun afternoon learning about currencies from around the world and studying the history of money.

This came up on my memory feed from when I taught first grade. It was so much fun creating. Starting to think of ways I could do this again in the future.

Equivalent fraction pizza projects are in! Proud of their creativity and hard work. My favorite equivalent fraction set was 8/8 = 90/90 = 1,000/1,000 😋

[Kali Hurry @STREAMTeacher1]

Students "planted" radish seeds today so we can study their structure, growth rate, and their response to different environmental factors.

[Kali Hurry @STREAMTeacher1]

It has been a fun week listening to students present their equivalent fractions pizza projects. Love seeing their creativity shine!
