We had a “tea party” to discuss all the wonderful things we are learning from our nonfiction books.

We always start our day singing my Learning Target song to get us ready to learn. Check out my kiddos and their reading goals and habits! #FutureReady #Contribute #FISDelevate #OurAllenLegacy

We had so much fun learning about coding with @MrMcDaniel13. #FISDelevate #HourOfCode #OurAllenLegacy

We are using our research on nonfiction topics during reader’s workshop to write “Teaching Chapter Books” during writing.✏️#FutureReady #Design #FISDelevate #OurAllenLegacy

First grade won the spirit stick today at GMA! #OurAllenLegacy #TeamONEderful #JingleBells

Today we reflected on our first semester and created our own “New Year’s Resolutions” ! I was blown away by the goals my kiddos set for themselves, and can’t wait to see them achieve them this semester. #AllenEmbracesChallenges #FutureReady #OurAllenLegacy #FISDelevate

During reader’s workshop today, we reviewed partnership expectations by doing a “fishbowl”! We observed & discussed what makes good partnerships. Then everyone got to demonstrate these expectations. #AllenEmbracesChallenges #AllenEngages #FutureReady #OurAllenLegacy #FISDelevate

During Writer’s Workshop, we co-created criteria for writing sentences and drawing illustrations. We did this by comparing anonymous samples and discussing the strengths and weaknesses amongst them. #AllenEmbracesChallenges #AllenEngages #OurAllenLegacy #FISDelevate

After co-creating criteria, I gave my kiddos a chance to demonstrate what they’ve learned. With this data, I’m able to assess what my students need and form new writing small groups. #AllenEngages #AllenEmbracesChallenges #FutureReady #OurAllenLegacy #FISDelevate

We finally completed our vowel towns. These towns were created using blueprints from our phonics mascot Rasheed. Each item created includes a vowel team in the word. #AllenEmbraceChallenges #AllenEngages #OurAllenLegacy #FISDelevate

In math we do a lot of collaborating! One of our math games requires students to work together to solve story problems and give feedback when something is wrong. This video showcases a partnership showing us how it’s done! Allen Elementary #AllenOlympics

Today during writer’s workshop, my students used their writing rubrics to decide what area of writing they can improve on, and personally selected a goal they want to work on. Allen Elementary #AllenOlympics

We did the March Citizenship Nearpod! The kiddos enjoyed talking about ways to be safe online. Allen Elementary @MrMcDaniel13 #AllenOlympics

I created a playlist for my students to practice identifying and reading words with vowel teams. The warm up, read, and review options were differentiated to meet my student’s needs. Allen Elementary #AllenOlympics

I got to observe Ms. Chhabra do a small group lesson for math today. I loved the way she prepared her small group table with materials to limit transitions, gave examples, and checked for understanding. What a rock star! Allen Elementary #AllenOlympics

I used the QSSSA method to structure conversations in math today. This method allowed for me to clear up misconceptions my students had when justifying their reasoning for comparison statements. Allen Elementary #AllenOlympics

My kiddos enjoyed doing shared reading with Ms. McGee. In today’s lesson we read with fluency and identified rhyming words. Allen Elementary #AllenOlympics

Congrats to Mrs. Johnson, Ryann Craft, Kelsey Storm, and Natalie Kucsan for reaching silver medal status for #AllenOlympics! #FISDelevate #OurAllenLegacy

I always love going into Mrs. Johnson class and hearing their chants to hype them up for learning! Allen Elementary #OurAllenLegacy #FISDelevate
