This week I am so excited to introduce our Writing Folders (a GREAT resource to build independence and stamina!) and our individual Bag of Books full of our favorite read alouds for all my Kinder Cubs!

Room 12 Cubs are the BEST! Earning 20 Positive Paws from our great choices at lunch and specials classes earned us a Stuffy Party! (And offered a great opportunity to practice rote counting, graphing, data analysis, and foundational civics through voting! #WinWin)Creekside ECS

Room 12 Kinder Cubs are so supportive of their friends! We all worked together in our small groups to practice numeral formation and help our friends that were stuck on tricky numbers! Creekside ECS #WEchooseLakota

Intentional grouping allows for our Cubs to practice helping others. Writing numbers can be tricky - but our friends can help us learn! Creekside ECS #WEchooseLakota

Room 12 Cubs learned about the document that guides our nation's laws today for #ConstitutionDay. Creekside ECS

Room 12 Kinder Cubs had SO much fun at our Walk-a-Thon! Thank you to our fantastic PTO for organizing such a fun event! Creekside ECS #WEchooseLakota

We loved our time at the Kindness Station and, of course, BUBBLES! (But then again, who doesn't?!) Walk-a-Thon was a day to remember! Creekside ECS #WEchooseLakota

Marvel and DC better look out - we've got some NEW super heroes coming your way Creekside ECS!

Writing Workshop is such a special part of our day. This week, we practiced using our letter sound knowledge and invented spelling to add labels to our work. I love seeing our Cubs so focused and hard at work learning how to express themselves through writing and illustrating!

We have LOVED using our super cool special bracelets to help us practice using a correct pencil grip! Creekside ECS

I was SO excited to introduce Book Baggies and get our independent reading time started this week! Room 12 Kinder Cubs did an amazing job retelling old favorites and searching for letters and words they learned! Creekside ECS

Building relationships is paramount. After that, the learning comes naturally. ❤️

Room 12 Cubs were so excited and engaged with our Learn About the World books! Non-fiction books let us learn about some our favorite topics from both the words AND the pictures! Creekside ECS #needtosuceedCECS

I absolutely LOVE. MY. JOB. ❤️ Creekside ECS

Room 12 Cubs have been labeling machines this week! We can read and write everything around us! Creekside ECS

I loved watching as our friends used their growing letter sound knowledge to stretch the sounds they hear in words! I am so proud of all my cubs! ❤️🐻 Creekside ECS

I love getting to work with Kelly Garver - she fills everyone's buckets! 😀❤️ Creekside ECS

Every Wednesday highlights the favorite snack of a staff member at Creekside - what a fun (and delicious!) way to encourage and support our wonderful teachers! Creekside ECS
