Kindness
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Mother Teresa
Measurement
Ms.Black's class measured objects around the room and solved equations.
Independent Reading Response
Ms. Halbrook sent me this great idea: "I found these on TPT and thought they were pretty cool for independent reading conferring. I am attaching them so you can share with whoever you think would like them. I just taped them to a styrofoam cube but to make them last you can modge podge them to a wooden cube from Hobby Lobby. I take my ipad and the kids roll them, scan them, and we discuss the question that pops up. It's a good start and way to ask questions randomly...just thought I'd share."
PK/Kinder Roundup
We had 50 new students register for Crippen so far. My little Presley was one of them. I cried! My little girl is all grown up! :) She is so excited to be an astronaut!
