We are on a B.R.E.A.K. Happy summer! So excited for next school year 😎✌️🌴🍎 #summerbreak #teacherlife #friends

Absolutely loving everything I've learned about teaching the "Secret Stories" by Secret Stories Phonics Cannot wait to implement this in 1st grade! #readingisfun

Helped #clearthelist for a few more teachers this morning. Teachers: keep sharing those lists! (Even though your shouldn’t have, but that’s a topic for another day.) Twitter friends: please consider helping out the teachers of Twitter #clearthelists. Even a single item helps!

Let's get kids excited about reading! 📚 I just added the new Florida SSYRA Jr. books to my wishlist. My 1st graders will earn rewards each time they read these awesome books! #clearthelists2022 #ThankYou Florida SSYRA amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

Douglas' Detectives did an investigation today by looking for differences and similarities with plants, flowers, and pinecones. They loved getting an up close look with their new Magnifying Glasses that were donated by a class parent 🕵‍♂️🕵‍♀️🔎 Old Kings Elementary School

After learning about how living things grow and chance, we did a cool craft to show the stages of a butterfly life cycle! First, a tiny egg turns to a caterpillar, then to a chrysalis, and finally a beautiful butterfly! The kids loved this one! #okesowls

Yesterday our class learned about the Kennedy Space Center & the space shuttle Artemis! We got to try on an "official" space suite & even got a mock boarding pass to Artemis! We can't wait to watch history as it launches (hopefully Friday🤞) #NASAArtemis #StemEducation Old Kings Elementary School

The ship has been sunk! FPC 41 Matanzas Football 6

Our little detectives had so much fun comparing the traits of pumpkins! We made inferences on why we think pumpkins can look so different & learned that they turn orange because of a substance called carotene! It was a great day. 🕵‍♂️🕵‍♀️🎃 Old Kings Elementary School #science #1stgrade

Celebrating Dias de Muertos today in 1st grade! We are learning the differences between Day of the Dead & Halloween. I loved sharing happy stories about my grandparents to help them understand that today is not meant to be sad but a day to celebrate their life. Old Kings Elementary School

Mrs. Douglas' 1st grade learned about the importance of voting yesterday during our mock election! We voted between our favorite book characters and majority decided that Pigeon is the best! Just don't let him drive the bus! Old Kings Elementary School #vote

Today we became engineers and designed a bridge for 20 bears using only paper cups and popsicle sticks! We learned that not all of our ideas work, but every great engineer keeps pushing to find a solution! They loved this one! #1stgrade #stem Old Kings Elementary School HMH Education

This week, we made "snow!" Most of these Florida babies have never seen the snow, so we decided to make some! They were amazed that it actually felt cold! This is one for the memory books! ❄️☃️ #science #STEMeducation Old Kings Elementary School

One of my favorite assignments! I didn't tell the kids they were going to have a substitute. They had to write where they thought I was. "On vacation, eating hotdogs by the pool" is my favorite 🤣 "Target buying stuff" & "she lost her voice" were also the best.

Our Pirate lesson was a huge success! We learned that the letters "AR" say arrr like a pirate! Students went on a treasure hunt around the room for words with AR & had to write a story about a pirate using some of the words. Old Kings Elementary School Wilson Language Training #1stgrade

So true. 🧡
