Special visitor in our class today! Home from college and put to work. Ms. Cole's daughter, Sarah, read us a book and then answered lots of our questions about playing the flute in marching band at JMU.💜💛 Malibu Elementary #WeSwim2gether

A visit to see our 4th grade buddies! We love being book buddies with Mrs. Moody's 4th graders.❤ Malibu Elementary

Special visitor today! One of our students' grandmother and a published author! We were so excited to hear Mrs. Betty Oliver read and talk about her newest book. ❤ Malibu Elementary @MBH_Lead2Learn

Our "new normal"- teaching from home. Was able to video chat with some of my students today and they were so excited....and loud! 😀 Malibu Elementary @MBH_Lead2Learn

The new look to our small group tasks and feedback. They are even telling me why they sorted their words that way! Yay! ♥️😀 Malibu Elementary Bridget Buchinger @MBH_Lead2Learn

So many smiles today. Warms my heart to see my students together. They loved chatting with each other, too. I had 11 of 16 students on with me today. That is a record. 🎉♥️

Another successful week with my sweet first graders.❤ Amazing slide shows done by my students, 2 FUN Zoom meetings, and more. My kids and parents are amazing. And guess what... I am learning this world of technology right along with them! 😀 #VBAlwaysLearning Malibu Elementary

First graders creating their own 3-dimensional maps and slide shows galore! Watch out 2nd grade teachers, these 1st graders will keep you on your toes next year! Malibu Elementary @MBH_Lead2Learn #VBAlwaysLearning

What's better than having a class Zoom meeting? Having our School Counselor, Mrs. Taylor, join us! My first graders were so excited to see another familiar and friendly face. Sharing proud moments- the best way to end our week! ❤ Malibu Elementary @MBH_Lead2Learn #VBAlwaysLearning

Another fun Zoom meeting with my sweet 1st graders! Best quotes: "How can you be old enough to be a grandma??!" "You're the best teacher in the whole wide world!" "Is our classroom still there?" "I miss you. I want zoom meetings, on the weekends too!" Malibu Elementary @MBH_Lead2Learn

My first grader working hard to measure things after reading the book that started our non-standard measurement unit! He explained it all to me. ❤ Malibu Elementary #VBAlwaysLearning Amie Wetmore

Closing Circle outside in the sunshine = fresh air, smiles and giggles under those masks, while each shared the best part of their day today! (So many said "Being with my friends and my teacher.") ❤❤ Melting heart. Malibu Elementary #WeAreVBSchools

Our Virtual Snow Day was shared with much excitement by all! One child brought a snowball to our morning meeting, which then prompted the whole class to run out quickly and make one too! Seize the moment. ❄⛄❄☃️ VBSchools Malibu Elementary VBCPS Safe Schools

We had a special reader today! A previous student (2nd grade virtual student) read to our first grade class. We were so excited to see him! He read to us from his bedroom. Wow! Amy Siverio #MESwim2gether

Thank you Malibu Elementary PTA for the fun recess activities. We love them! ❤🙂🌷🌸🌻 Malibu Elementary

When you tech first grade and you break your arm, your students show you love by signing your cast. We hope you heal quickly Julie Cole

Year 30!! Have I really been teaching that long? Yes...even longer actually. Brand new class of sweet first graders today. A couple of my girls told me they didn't want to go home today because they were having too much fun! ❤🙂 #ILoveFirstGrade
