Area and Perimeter is always a challenge but we are using manipulatives and grid paper to solidify our understanding of these challenging concepts!

The Poinciana Elementary Day of Awesomeness was….well…AWESOME! Except the part where my own awesome kiddo smoked me in the obstacle course!

It’s Test Season…So we took a few moments to color some motivational phrases and remind ourselves how awesome we are!

The Poinciana Elementary Dash Competition was a smashing success! These fabulous fourth graders worked so hard and did a wonder job with the challenge! Thank you to the Fifth Grade teachers for being judges.

This is always my favorite end of year science project! Students did an amazing job turning their science vocabulary into illustrated words! Check out some of the creativity for the words Magnetism, Energy, Lifecycle, and Inherited.

We’ve been working hard creating our own Math Board Games. From coming up with directions to writing our own math problems, students have been flexing those math brains! Today we got to play all of the games across fourth grade!

Teaching 4 Blocks of Reading is a new adventure for me…by the end of Day 1 of Launching our Module, I was so excited to see all the different Circle Maps each class generated while brainstorming the meaning of identity! This is going to be an amazing year!

Today students categorized and sorted Figurative Language examples using their Tree Chart Thinking Maps! I can already see their brains expanding! What amazing work these fabulous fourth graders did!

I am thankful for Florida Center for Reading Research Morphology games keeping the kids engaged and learning! This was a great way to review before our assessment!

Have you ever had a a lesson where the students do EXACTLY what you had hoped and render you almost useless?!? That was me as students dived into their Figurative Language Bridge Maps with Kitoto the Mighty. I looked around the room at engaged students and just grinned!

Today my students were investigators gathering evidence against the criminals Problem-Solution, Description, and Sequence. They created an artifact to show all of their evidence before diving deeper into the paperwork.

Congratulations to all of these amazing educators! A special congratulations to one of my best teacher friends Ms. Ruggiero for the well deserved recognition!

Ending October with a fun-filled spirit week! 🧡🎃 Collier County Public Schools Poinciana Elementary Kristi & Celine Robyn Cruz

Our Story Book Character Parade is always a favorite event Poinciana Elementary! This Hermione found plenty of other Harry Potter characters in the plethora of creative outfits!

When using The Declaration of Independence as a primary source one MUST charge taxes to the students and crown themselves Queen. How else will the students understand the Central Idea of the text?!

On Word Relationship Wednesday we studied synonyms, antonyms, and homographs with a NY Times style Connections board. Students were tasked with taking 16 words and grouping them based on a common relationship! It was voted a favorite activity by students!

Students working hard to design Text Structure posters to present to the class. They had to define their text structure, create text and graphic features that help explain their text structure, and write a sample paragraph showing their text structure in action!

Yesterday I got to take all 4 Blocks outside to read in the fresh air to celebrate Literacy Week! It was such a treat and loved by all students!

F.A.S.T. Review but make it engaging…. In fact this was %100 engagement and had students begging for more! Who knew a game of Capture the Flag could turn multiple choice questions into incredible engagement!
