Using alphabet arcs to practice letter recognition and letter sounds. 🌈K students match uppercase to uppercase while 1st match lowercase to the correct uppercase partner. At the end we recite the alphabet backwards! #LongfellowBears 🐻#WeAreD97

K students worked on subitizing and organizing on five frames today. Roll the dice and build your number on the five frame! 🎲 Which set of dots doesn’t fit on a five frame? Why? 🤔#LongfellowBears 🐻 #D97

Third graders explore multi digit numbers using numeral cards and craft stick models. So many great discussions on place value and number sense including “how many to the next decade?” The Math Learning Center #LongfellowBears #D97

This K student came dressed perfectly for our first day of practicing letter formation with witch fingers. 🧙‍♀️🧙Tis the season! 👻🎃#LongfellowBears #D97

It can be tricky to differentiate the sounds that n and m make. So these K students took a look in the mirror to watch their mouths form each letter sound. Do you know the difference? 🤔 #LongfellowBears #D97

Happy Halloween! 🎃🐈‍⬛💀

Kindergarten students had fun playing a math memory game today with numeral and dot cards. They practiced subitizing and number recognition. And had so much fun doing it! #longfellowbears #d97 #cutestmathematicians

First graders use dominoes to practice ways to make ten as well as their counting on strategies. #LongfellowBears #D97

Fourth graders show how they can make multiplicative comparisons using construction paper strips. They answered: How many times as long? How do you know? #LongfellowBears #D97

Second graders are shifting from using base ten blocks to a one hundred chart to model two digit numbers. This is moving our understanding of place value from concrete to representational. From there we can compare, add, and subtract these numbers. #LongfellowBears #D97

Kindergarteners work together to put mixed up numeral cards 1-10 in the correct order. If they get stuck, they can use the ten frame to help visualize the number. #LongfellowBears #D97

These second graders were all ready in their snow gear today, but now we're wondering...Where's all the snow?! #D97 #LongfellowBears

The first graders did an awesome job as digraph detectives today when they found the digraph CH on their shirts! A real world connection always helps solidify learning. 🕵️‍♂️ #LongfellowBears #D97 #evenpokemonhavedigraphs

K students know our routines. These two friends came in and immediately started grabbing magnetic numbers from our warm up bucket to put in the correct order on the board. It’s a quick way to get in the math mindset for learning! #LongfellowBears #D97

Happy to work in a district that has recognized the benefits of academic intervention for years, even prior to the pandemic. #ProudInterventionist #D97 washingtonpost.com/education/2023…

Opening ceremonies for Olympic Day at Longfellow School! #D97 #LongfellowBears #cutestolympians

This #PrideMonth, let's celebrate diversity and unity and spread love and acceptance. Together, we can make the world a kinder place for all. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

The Kindness Market continues to be one of my very favorite events at Longfellow School. Thanks to the 2nd and 3rd grade teams who organize it! #LongfellowBears #D97

Some fourth graders made a friend at recess today! 🦋#D97Joy #LongfellowBears 🦋

First graders are working on ways to make ten using ten frames with bear manipulatives and a memory matching game. #LongfellowBears #D97
