Jitterbugs? Yes, please!!! #Grade3Kauffman #butlerinnovationday Butler Elementary Bridget Augustine

We observed our caterpillars as they grew, formed chrysalises, and emerged as adult butterflies. Today we said goodbye to our little friends! #wewillmissthem #authenticlearning #Grade3Kauffman Butler Elementary

We are wrapping up our novel study this week. We focused on character development and traits. The books were very engaging and ss loved that they were able to choose which book they read! #cantputmybookdown #Grade3Kauffman ⁦Butler Elementary⁩

My week was made when five students from my first class EVER visited me today during their senior walk. I can't believe my first group of first graders graduate this year! There will always be a special place in my heart for that class. #timeflieswhenyourehavingfun Butler Elementary

What’s more fun than playing math games? Creating math games, of course! These ss had a blast collaborating to make a math game that reviewed a third grade skill. Who’s up fo some “Lattice Ladders?” #Grade3Kauffman Butler Elementary

Hero Inquiry Projects were a success! The best part, the high levels of excitement and engagement from my kiddos 👍 Butler Elementary Michelle Kauffman #Grade3Kauffman DoInk Tweets #makelearningfun #moviestarsinthemaking

We’ve got CRAZY socks in honor of Read Across America Week and the beloved book, Fox in Socks. Butler Elementary #Grade3Kauffman #ReadAcrossAmerica

Thanks Dr. Seuss for inspiring us to think ahead to all the places we will go! Such a perfect opportunity to set goals for the future and plan for how we will meet those goals. Butler Elementary #Grade3Kauffman #ReadAcrossAmerica #OhThePlacesYouWillGo

We practiced our measurement skills today by working with a partner for body measuring and creating Gallon Man to answer questions about capacity. #Grade3Kauffman #CBButlerElem

These third graders used DoInk Tweets to film the presentation portion of their Hero Inquiry Projects. We had a blast conducting research, organizing and synthesizing the information into pamphlets, and using a green screen to film our presentations. #Grade3Kauffman #CBButlerElem

Let the games begin!! Butler Elementary #Grade3Kauffman #factfluencyfun #multiplicationmarchmadness

Brain Break Time! There’s nothing like some fun dance moves to help us reenergize and refocus. #Grade3Kauffman #movementmatters #GoNoodle Butler Elementary

Planet Projects this year were all about collaboration and student choice! Ss projects consisted of posters, #poplet, #bookcreator, film w green screen, and even an essay. Their creativity never ceases to amaze me! #Grade3Kauffman Butler Elementary

Great teachers focus on how they can bring learning to life, no matter what they teach. #InnovateInsideTheBox #InnovatorsMindset

This. Always my goal 😊

Thanks Butler Elementary for this authentic learning experience! We are excited to help the Butler garden grow and flourish as we learn about life cycles. #CBmkauffman #schoolgarden

These third graders LOVE using Seesaw to explain how they solved a math “scoot” problem.

Having a wonderful time hanging out with the third graders at Butler! Thanks for having me in Michelle Kauffman #cbsdpd #TitusButlerPride

Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day for Field Day this year! Becky Engart did an amazing job organizing this day and teaching the kids about sportsmanship! Butler Elementary #Grade3Kauffman
