Lucky the leprechaun destroyed our room last night. However we wrote letters as a class, so hopefully he will come back and clean up after himself. 🍀🤞🏻 #ExcellenceInMotion Nichols Sawmill Elementary

Thank you for coming to read to our class Constable Jones! #ExcellenceInMotion Nichols Sawmill Elementary

Lucky came back and apologized for the mess he made and even brought treats! We started writing our personal narratives today based on this shared experience.🍀✏️#ExcellenceInMotion Nichols Sawmill Elementary

Today we had our first student read aloud! He did an AMAZING job and his classmates were so respectful and kind. #ExcellenceInMotion Nichols Sawmill Elementary

We adopted peeps! We read a story about the responsibility of owning a pet. Then we made them a home, took them on a walk to see the 2nd grade hall, and filled out their adoption paper work. We also hunted for phonics easter eggs & ate a special snack! 🐣🥚🐰Nichols Sawmill Elementary

All week students tracked their self management & we recognized a student who went above and beyond showing this social skill! #PositiveAction #ExcellenceInMotion #SELMatters Nichols Sawmill Elementary
