Thank You!
Thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcomed at UES! These first few weeks have been really fun! I wanted to comment on how well behaved the students are overall, what a difference a school wide behavior system makes! Thanks for holding them accountable and following through with expectations. They are great kids because of their great teachers!
Here's what we've been up to!
Mrs. Maenner's class doing a kahoot about call numbers!
Kahoots and Pear Decks have been used with 4th and 5th grade over the past two weeks to assess what they already know and discuss digital citizenship.
PreK feeling fleece to go along with our Baa Baa Black Sheep Story
England Acres farm was gracious enough to allow me to borrow a fleece and a bag full of wool. Kindergarten also got to experience it in connection with their economics unit.
1st and 2nd grade used a capstone ebook to build background knowledge about elephant seals!
We will read the Black Eyed Susan picture book Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas next time.
