Yesterday was Day 8 and I feel like I'm in a little bit of a rhythm. I took Sunday completely off from school work and only panicked a little. Mostly, I loved trying to sleep in, making waffles, going for a run in a new spot while Zack mountain biked on a dirt single track …
Gerald and Piggie made special appearances on zoom this morning!
I'm trying to spice up our Morning Meeting on zoom to make them more interactive, fun and potentially educational.Look at their cute little faces! We're so lucky that Ms. Shari and Mrs. A joined us. 😊 Today, they brought their whiteboard, markers and eraser from their Bags of Home Learning and we played a guessing …
I've used Seesaw with my kindergarteners for several years. I probably learned about it during an #ecechat (early childhood educators Twitter chat) with Heidi Veal @vealheidi, Nancy Alvarez @techwnancy and Jessica Cabeen @jessicacabeen in 2015 or 2016. And thank goodness. While my school is using Zoom and Google classroom as our platforms in common, the …
It's hard to believe that just a couple weeks ago, we celebrated Super Hero Day together. At school. In quite close proximity to each other.

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 …
Lower school students can enter anytime between 8:00 - 8:15 and be on time for the day. That rolling entry and different work speeds of kids mean that some are finishing morning work when others are starting on password (quick academic check in and high five before coming in!). That means that nearly everyone has …
My #oneword2016 is UP and over the past couple weeks I had trouble feeling it. Life had me all twisted and turned and I wasn't sure which way was straight. But TODAY is the day I get to start moving into my new classroom at the Lake Tahoe School. I won't start setting things up …
