These friends started playing “school” during Academic Choice. 🥰 #ltps #lesltps

Readers used their story structure slides to help retell the stories they read! #ltps #lesltps

I wish you could hear them laughing! 😂 They did a “The floor is lava” dance/freeze brain break and it was pretty awesome! #ltps #lesltps

Readers have been visualizing this week! For this book, Fireflies, I read the entire book and did not show friends the pictures, tell them the title, or say the word fire flies throughout. They listened to details to figure out what the story was about! Amazing! #ltps #lesltps

We took Fundations into the halls today for a fun scavenger hunt! 🔎Friends identified singular nouns & then wrote the plural of that noun. Felt good to move around while learning! #ltps #lesltps

Students created their own rubrics, researched an ocean animal of their choosing, & created informative posters about the animal. So engaged! The posters came out so well!! #ltps #lesltps

We had so much fun visiting and coloring with our Preschool Buddy Class! 🥰 #ltps #lesltps Melissa Lockett Melissa Wall

Listening to books on iPads at one of their Guided Reading centers: They love walking around the room to scan the QR code of the book they chose. #ltps #lesltps

Look at these readers! #ltps #lesltps

Today, I am feeling “sappy”: Sad this is my last day with this incredible crew, but so happy that I was able to teach them, get to know them, & play in the SNOW with them! #ltps #lesltps ❄️ 🥰💕 I know they’ll do awesome this year & cheers until next year!

Gave my friends their February gift books a couple weeks early 💕 #ltps #lesltps 📖

This is accurate. 💯

Definitely my motto! Love it Laura Edwards It is on its way to you! ❤️

Our students need recess, unstructured play, physical education, all the Arts, and their extracurricular activities! That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority.

Having to take an unexpected leave mid-year due to no childcare for my son was not easy, but I’m so glad I got to zoom in with my class on the last day! Look at them! Shining ⭐️s ready for 2nd grade! So proud of them! I 💚ed this class so much! Enjoy your summer! #lesltps #ltps

Have an amazing first day of school tomorrow to all my #lesltps friends and coworkers! 💚 #ltps It is strange for me not being back in the classroom (Room 224 & LES were my home for 11 years!), but know that I’m sending lots of love & fun your way!
