We can’t forget a special good luck to our partner Chelsea Mecanko who is student teaching Toll Gate Grammar School!

I recently attended a Bitmoji Classroom PD at Bear Tavern E.S. by my co-op for student teaching and another teacher. And here is my beginnings of my #bitmojiclassroom #BearTavernPride If you don’t have one, I 100% reccomend it. It’s addicting but fun!

Celebrating Groundhog’s Day and six more weeks of winter! ❄️ Dolores Van Name Mayan Ahmed #beartavernpride

Here is my completed groundhog for Groundhog Day that we created in class with Liz Machado and Dolores Van Name. #BearTavernCares #BearTavernPride #GroundHogDay

Let’s take a moment to appreciate this beautiful fractured fairytales board. All credit goes to Maura Telfer. I helped create and put up the castle but she did the rest. Amazing job Maura!

Today I completed my first literacy lesson! The students learned how to compare and contrast similar stories. So glad I had that opportunity and I am excited to teach more lessons! #beartavernpride #studentteaching

Thank you Mr Umstead for sharing your fractured fairy tale ‘Humpty’s Hide and Seek Adventure’, and for inspiring us as we launch our new writing unit of study ! #beartavernpride Dan Umstead Dolores Van Name Mayan Ahmed 🥚📚

I would like just like to say a huge thanks to all the parents and students that were kind enough to think of me when they were preparing valentines. Thank you so much, I am so touched! Liz Machado Dolores Van Name #BearTavernPride

Mrs.V teaches division (12/3.) Uses magnets and draws the teachers. A student asks what happens if there is 2 (teachers). So Mrs.V erases me and says let’s say Ms.Ahmed went home early. Students say awe. One went “No, I want Ma.Ahmed back” Dolores Van Name Liz Machado

*class goes outside for a break* One of the students is on the spectrum. As most students on the spectrum, he is not very social. The entire class decided to play a game and one of the students asked him if he wanted to play with them, so he played with the class. My heart:

It’s really a heart warming experience when your students ask you if you’re going to be a teacher at their school. ❤️Liz Machado Dolores Van Name #beartavernpride

Hello #PLN! Do you have recommendations or recources on how to better understand balanced literacy? How would you explain it to a new teacher? Any tips on breaking it down? All feedback is welcome! Thanks in advanced! #edchat #edutwitter

Everyone can succeed in their own way and in their own time!🙌
