Got to play a game of Battleship with my 8 year old over break! What a fun way to recharge! 🥰 #bssdorangefrog

This tree by my patio is one of my favorites. Love my little view of nature! ❤ #bssdorangefrog

I don't have a favorite song...any song with a good beat to dance to is A-OK with me! This Pandora station never disappoints, and today is no different...the songs today are 🔥. Spending my lunch break with my earbuds in and having a jam session! #bssdorangefrog

Our last get together had to be postponed, but 🤞 for a night out with friends in May! #bssdorangefrog

Summertime means making games and activities for my classroom! This week's project is differentiated math facts Jenga! 😍 #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

On day 1 of 3rd grade, we practiced one of our 6Cs...communication! We played See, Run, Do, and then discussed the importance of good communication and gave examples of what that may look like in different scenarios at school! #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Day 2 of 3rd grade brought discussions of collaboration and critical thinking! We individually brainstormed answers, then collaborated to come up with a great collective answer! In the afternoon we used critical thinking to build index card towers! #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Day 3 of 3rd grade...who says multiplication facts have to be boring!? We learned "8 x 8 is 64, now we're going out the door!" and recite it anytime we leave the classroom. Then we played blooket during the last 10 minutes of the day and had a blast! #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Today we became party planners! In math, students had to design a layout for a game night, with several different games that each allowed for a different number of players. They used manipulatives and collaborated to decide on the best design! #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Who knew the moon could taste so good? 😊 Students loved using Oreos to illustrate the phases of the moon. Many thanks to my colleague Mrs. Barwin for sharing this super cool idea! 🥰 #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Many thanks to a generous sponsor who got our school some Kona Ice! We all enjoyed it yesterday on the most gorgeous day of 2023 so far! #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

So proud of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who presented their genius hour projects during our gallery walk today! So many cool projects that students were passionate about! #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Third grade made posters to kick off our community service project! We can't wait until those pennies for paw packs start rolling in! ❤️. #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Today my students received their books from their book sponsors! It was a great tie in to our discussion about the benefits of having people supporting you! They were excited to have a book (or 2...or 3!) to keep! Thank you to the sponsors!! ❤️ #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Ended up matching with these 2 beautiful humans today without even planning it! Blessed to call them coworkers and friends! #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

3rd graders got to use Scholastic News magazines to identify text features and discuss how each one helped them understand the article. Each group read 1 article, marked the text features up with sticky notes, and then shared out to the other groups! #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Where did all the numbers go!? 3rd graders strengthened their critical thinking skills by practicing numberless word problems. Students had to figure out what operations to use BEFORE the missing numbers were revealed! #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Love my job!! The entire school out with signs, pom-poms, and lots of cheering as our varsity basketball team drove through on their way to Hershey for the championship game tonight! So proud of our boys! Let's go Bulldogs!! ❤️💛 #bssdproud #OakFlatProud

Today we ended Read Across America Week by sharing some stories with 2nd graders! Thanks for visiting, Mrs. Brenize! What a wonderful way to begin our Friday! ❤️ #OakFlatProud #bssdproud

Eclipse glow day learning was a success! We practiced main idea with an eclipse passage, made diagrams of the parts of an eclipse, worked on our eclipse WIN projects, did our math using highlighters, and ended our day watching the eclipse happen! 🌖😎 #OakFlatProud #bssdproud
