Connecting with all families no matter the distance ❤️ Technology can be magical 💫 #mysteryreaders

Analyzing our math work to help us set goals for what we need to work on! We are using this data and setting specific goals to share with our families at student led conferences

Our second grade family ❤️ #firstday

Trust and feelings of belonging can lead to learning, suggests P Jay Billy:

Index card challenge- fit your whole body through an index card with only using scissors! Today we learned the importance of teamwork, persevering, being flexible and having a positive attitude! Accomplishing hard things is the best feeling 🎉 Cuyahoga Heights Schools

Our classroom family web- each of us plays an important role in our classroom! Everything we do impacts others- if 1 person is having a bad day, it’s up to all of us to pick them back up again! Together we can do anything ❤️🕸

Learning how to talk as mathematicians- helping people in our group by giving strategies, not giving answers! Also looking for patterns to help us be more efficient instagram.com/p/Ch226xiv4wJe…

Mathematicians can draw pictures to help them visualize math tasks. We are sharing our thinking so that we can see there are many ways to solve a problem- not just one way! Cuyahoga Heights Schools

Thinking about how to describe characters & focusing on the difference between attributes we can see vs their character traits that describe who they are on the inside

We are helping each other solve challenging math problems! My favorite things I heard were “what’s your idea?”, “what if we tried…”, “can we draw this”, “what does this mean?” We are learning how to communicate about math so that we can all work together! Cuyahoga Heights Schools

Working on our fluency by recording ourselves reading poems on Flipgrid 📚

Introducing the human pin ball machine- we practiced communicating calmly & using teamwork. After we made rules for our new game & made sure to include words that had our focus word patterns in them. Sometimes the best learning happens through student led experiences!

Learning how to add on a number line using base ten blocks to help us visualize how to add tens and ones ➕

To help us with our opinion writing, we are working on using more descriptive words to describe things we like instead of just nice and good. To help us think of more descriptive words we ate some 🍿 for inspiration! Words we found- crunchy, greasy, salty & so many more!

Brainstorming descriptive words about fireworks🎇

Beginning to set personal learning goals for ourselves! Thinking about ways we can intentionally work on our goals to help us feel confident! #goalgetters Cuyahoga Heights Schools

We worked with our PREK buddies to help them brainstorm ways to keep their eggs safe. They were working on how to take care of things during safety week & we worked on how to be leaders when working with younger peers #leadership #communitybuilding Cuyahoga Heights Schools
