I can't remember where I first saw it but it was probably twitter or instagram. Students become Kings of Ing when learning the -ing word family complete with crowns. I'm not particularly good at following a curriculum in the right order at the right time but I do like repeating some fun and valuable lessons …
We were so lucky that Ms. Madelyn let us participate in the Trout Release on March 26th. The big kids were in charge of them from egg to fry but there were enough that most lower school students got to carry one from school down to the stream and release it into the stream. My …
Back in early September, I was thrilled to find out that I'd been accepted into Cohort 1 of the Empathy Project Fellowship. I loved being a part of the America Achieves National Teacher Fellowship in 2014-2016 and felt so honored to join this new fellowship.

The main part of this post was to show how much I love this time of year in kindergarten. I have a group of active and social boys this year and am thrilled that they've learned enough independence to work these fun centers on their own. I really appreciate all the TPT teachers who make …
For kindness! Kindergarteners help with our school food drive by labeling collection boxes and delivering them. Yesterday our 4th grade buddies helped us illustrate our lines in the kindness song.

Zack sent this video to me today. Lots of nostalgia. A young and strong Molly, a big winter and Zack speaking so many words so fluently. Today was a fun day in kindergarten. 😊
Lots of tweets about using the Seesaw app in elementary classrooms focus on seamlessly it connects school to home. And I agree. But I often use it in my kindergarten classroom to increase engagement and buy in. Today a guided reading group was a little squirrely. It seems Halloween is right around the corner and …
I tried a couple fun and pretty simple math games with my class in the beginning of the year. I probably didn't do an adequate job of explaining and modeling them because they were sort of failures. Not knowing or understanding exactly what to do, the kids interpreted the rules to suit themselves and had …
Today we started to dismantle our How to Make a Friend Board today and I realized I hadn't posted pictures of the finished product. The best part is how well the students knew all the books and how proud they were of their work! (I read The Important Book to the class and we wrote …
I have pictures from Fall Break that I want to add but for now here are some from Monday (yesterday) and today.
