Yesterday I showed the kids one of my favorite math games from when I was a kid at Bear Tavern, 24! #beartavernpride #firstgrade #math #24game

Poetry! Over the years I’ve seen many reluctant writers really blossom and gain an enormous amount of confidence when writing poetry. The approach is so different from the other genres and allows for lots of creative thinking. #beartavernpride #firstgrade #poetry

The kids were having trouble remembering when to use -ic and -ick to end words, so out came the guitar. Please excuse my terrible voice and guitar playing. This one should stick w them for the rest of their lives though. #beartavernpride #phonicsfun #firstgrade #fundations

And that’s that! Thank you to my families this year for all of the love and support! Have a great summer, everyone! #beartavernpride #firstgrade

Yesterday we discussed the significance of a name, the beauty in being unique and the importance of being kind. Today, we started making our name rainbows, an interactive craft w a QR code. We can’t wait to show you the finished product! #beartavernpride #firstgrade

Chrysanthemum name rainbows done and on display! Hope you all enjoyed them during BTSN, the kids were so proud and excited. #beartavernpride #gratefuldead #chinacatiknowyourider #firstgrade #chrysanthemum #kevinhenkes

Identifying different types of addition number stories and strategies for solving each, rather than relying on certain keywords and phrases to tell them what to do, as this does not allow kids to develop a deep understanding of the problem. #beartavernpride #math #firstgrade
