For today’s #STEMchallenge students had to make a carrier to help the #CreepyCarrots escape down a zip line #grade2

Today’s #Halloween themed #STEM challenge was to make #creepyunderwear for a stuffy #grade2 📕 Creepy Pair of Underwear ✍️ by Aaron Reynolds

#grade2 students explored a variety of ‘how to’ texts and shared what they noticed before we dove into learning to write some of our own. #writing #literacy

Today we implemented #flexibleseating . Two rules: 1) It must be safe 2) You must be getting your work done My #grade2 s were happier and more productive. #winwin

Today we talked about captions. We learned they are a text feature found in some non-fiction texts. Then students got to choose a picture from a magazine to write a caption for. #grade2 #captions #textfeatures

My grade 1 student: What do you call a cat teacher? Me: idk, what? Student: Mrs Purrrrrocter! 😂 #teacherlife #joke

#grade1 students had a rich discussion about our shared responsibility to care for the land and water and what Mother Earth gives us #landacknowledgmentwork

Me: You can’t wash a croissant! 🥐 #grade1 #thingsteacherssay #tweetablekids

Kids have been off the wall. I recently read a quote, ‘they can’t be off the walls if there aren’t any’. I decided today what we needed wasn’t to plow through more work, we needed to make memories. We went outside and played soccer. No regrets. #grade1 #buildrelationships

Some of my #grade1 mathematicians hard at work exploring #patterning

We started our #patterning unit by going on a patterns scavenger hunt. Today students worked in pairs to describe the patterns they found. #grade1 #math
