Pushing kids to take a break from reading online based books, instead selecting a physical text off the shelf. It has done wonders for reading stamina. The book talks have been incredible and they love it a little more and more each day! 📖 💜 👩🏼‍🏫 #MrsObieGrade3 Ellis Elementary

Surprised me to hear how many students connected Patricia Polacco to Ukraine and the current events going on in our world. Fitting time to build empathy & realize how something so far away from them is actually very close to home. Enjoying our author study this week. #ThirdGrade

Part1-After NWEA testing, Ss earned free creative time. Started with 2 Ss building a tower. Before we knew it the whole class was collaborating how to build the tallest tower w/ a goal to reach the ceiling. These are my favorite learning moments.🥰 #MrsObieGrade3 Ellis Elementary

Challenge accepted, challenge met. These kids are pretty dang proud. What they don’t realize is the amount of collaboration and problem solving skills it took to make it happen. So much fun to watch 🤩🤜🏼#MrsObieGrade3 Ellis Elementary

Some students made these for teachers. I love it so much! Perfect bag to carry my papers home on the weekends 👍🏻❤️🖤 Ellis Elementary

Thank you CCMS Tigers 7th grade for sharing your Wax museum with 3rd graders today. What a great opportunity for our younger kids to be inspired by you and your work. They were really impressed! Our kids enjoyed it SO very much! #MrsObieGrade3 Ellis Elementary #TigerLegacy

Always love sharing our class Bearded Dragon with other kiddos around the building! Bowser loves to show off 😜

My son and I are about to start spending a lot time in the car traveling around for soccer. Looking for audiobook or podcast recs that would be appropriate for him and me to listen to together. Bonus if they are conversation sparking, inspiration/motivational for a 13 yr old boy.
