Guided reading

Kids work independently readying and working on their words while I meet with small groups to do some guided reading. We read leveled books and talk about comprehension, spelling patterns, connections, and more!

Staff portraits

We worked hard today making beautiful drawings of our teachers to hopefully get chosen for the yearbook. Here are some works in progress. :)

Goodbyes are hard...again

Friday was one of our friends' last day at Eagle Heights before he moved to Ohio. We made cards for him and he read them all out loud to show how much he appreciated it. We'll miss him!

Independent math work

How great is it when kids can be responsible enough to work on their own and be productive and proactive? Love the vibe that's set up in my class!

Rock sorts

We worked as scientists today using screens to sort river rocks by size. Tomorrow we'll talk about the different sizes and what they're called.

Real life word search

We're studying words that have closed syllables...syllables that end in a consonant instead of a vowel...so the kids worked with a partner today to find words in the classroom that fit the bill.

Thank you paraprofessionals!

We started a poster today to hang up by Sr. Sullivan's desk saying thank you for everything he does for us. We are thanking everyone that helps us throughout the day because we couldn't do it without them!

Recess!

We're getting a lot more efficient putting on our winter gear for recess so we can get out there with enough time to play in the snow. :)
