This morning we shared our costumes, played Halloween bingo, and even made two crafts! I opened our Meet a little earlier this morning and I caught a couple students sharing stories and giving each other the sweetest compliments. It's the best part of the job.🥰

After playing Halloween bingo yesterday, the students had prizes (Play-Doh) waiting for them on their desks this morning. We used the Play-Doh to practice our sight words during guided reading and students loved it!

It was great to share our research at #OurPACTEFA20! Helena McKendrick, Miss Megan Cziraky, Kristen Kain, @Miss_Miller31 & I use an inquiry lens grounded in Brené Brown's work on vulnerability and resiliency 2 explore our teaching & learning during the Spring 2020 shutdown. WCU CESW

Rasheed returns from his trip from NYC tomorrow! We have so much to teach him about building words!

These past two days Room 127 has been working hard building Vowel Town! We had to decode words with vowel teams to make our city! We even had to figure out how to spell words that had vowel teams in them from the blueprints that were left by Rasheed.

My hometown tonight. You Matter. Don’t Give Up. You’re Loved. ❤️

We ended our camp-read-lot day with the best camping treat!

That’s a wrap! This group of kids will always have a special place in my heart! 💛

Partner reading in 1st Grade today! They loved reading to buddies so much we could barely put our books down to go to recess!📚

They said they were thankful for our classroom family so I told why I was thankful for each one of them 💛

We’re very excited for more winter weather!

We learned all about energy and electricity this morning during a live stream assembly from the energized guy!

These first graders filled up their pompom jar and chose so have lunch with Miss Kain as a reward 💛 I thought a movie and donuts would be a nice surprise for them

Today I was asked if we could have 100 more days of first grade… they have a love for learning I hope never goes away ♥️
