We had an amazing time during our fall celebration and parade! Washington School #district63 #fallcelebration

There are so many reasons I’m thankful this year which includes having an amazing group of students who make my day, and being part of the Washington Wildcat community 💕 Washington School

Students had a great time figuring out antonyms in a Word Study game! Washington School

Today was a whirlwind day: a half-day before winter break, a winter themed sing along, and we were stem scientists working on the Not a Box challenge! It’s been such a crazy first half of the school year, but I’m excited for all the fun yet to come! Washington School

Diving into our historical fiction book club unit by visiting Starbooks Cafe and doing a book tasting! Washington School

Photo dump of the week: crazy hair day, game day, and we put on some amazing reader’s theaters. Happy Spring Break! I hope everyone has a good one! ☺️

Yesterday, we learned the importance of adding details and being specific in our writing by making a jelly sandwich! This showed us that we need to make sure that our readers have a clear picture of what we are writing about by adding more detail!

It was a gorgeous day today! So after IAR we went outside to do some reading! 📚

There is something so magical about reading a book for read aloud that a teacher read to you when you were about the same age as your students. My 5th grade teacher read this book to me and it forever had an impact on me. Today, my students finished reading it. Full Circle 💕

Washington School we celebrated our colleague Ms.Junaid 💍Bridal Shower today thrown by our Sunshine Social Club! 🐾☀️🐾 Wishing you lots of love and a lifetime of happiness! #Wildcatfamily ♥️

Too many pumpkins? Not with the innovative inventions my 5th graders came up with to harvest them! Thank you Mrs. Sandine for helping me facilitate this fun activity 💕 #steam

Happy Thanksgiving ❤️

We in 5th grade are working on becoming our best selves! As a class we want to be: kind, friendly, caring, motivated, and positive! Now we are going to focus on the question: what strategies can you use to be your best-self right now? #RULERSEL

Solar Eclipse 2024; such a precious memory 💕
