Kindergartners are using all that they know about letters, sounds, and sight words to write about their reading! Look at them go! #growingreaders #geneva304 #Kindergartensuperwriters🦸

There are some new books for January in our Bitmoji Classroom. Martin's Big Words: The Story of Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of our favorites. We think you'll love it as much as we do. #happyreading #growingreaders #Geneva304

Check out the great books in this month's Bitmoji Classroom! In 10 days, we will add some new titles for March. #growingreaders #Geneva304 Have a wonderful weekend and happy reading!

Writing simple sentences is one easy way to help your kindergartner gain confidence in their abilities. Watch your child’s independence grow as he listens for and writes sounds in words. Focusing on just a couple of letters at a time provides just the right amount of challenge.

3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are enjoying the graphic novel, Stuntboy, by Jason Reynolds. They spent some time thinking about characters last week as the protagonist's superpower was revealed. Then, they imagined what superpower THEY would have if they were a superhero. #GRA2022

Today, Kinders listened to Two Homes. This book served as a mirror for some of the kids (reflecting back what they see in their own life) and was a window for others (to learn about others' experiences). We learned that sometimes kids have 2 homes but each one is filled with 💙.

2nd grade writers joined writing seminar groups today. They explored mentor texts to gather up ideas about: 1. How to end stories and, 2. How to tell stories in order using transition words. #growingwriters #super2ndwriters #mentortexts

Our students listened to The Last Stop on Market Street and learned from the main characters, CJ and Nana, how important it is to have an attitude of gratitude. Some of the most important lessons can be learned from books! #mattdelapena #christianrobinson #globalreadaloud2022

4B students learned how to amplify their voices using persuasion during their writing unit. Then, they had some fun putting their skills to use in a class debate. They presented strong reasons to support their arguments about why people should or should not eat candy!
