Our first two days of school in room 11 were great! We enjoyed reading some stories together, getting to know each other and our classroom space, and students enjoyed exploring different work choices together in the classroom. We've also already celebrated two birthdays in the classroom! We had gym outside on Thursday and Friday and are looking forward to joining Ms. Zimmer's class for gym next week!    We talked a lot about different expectations at school and why it's important to follow the classroom expectations. I always use my cat, Eli, to show listening expectations on the carpet.  A notice from School Council came home today!

Hello families,  My apologies again about not making a blog post last week! Here's what we got up to this week:  We enjoyed spending lots of time with Elder Shirley on Wednesday morning. She walked students through a smudge and talked about some of the sacred medicines. She taught us how to hoop dance and how we can tell a story using our bodies and the hoops.

Hello families,  Here's what we got up to this week!  In social studies, we are wrapping up our learning about the Seven Sacred Teachings. We read the story, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox" by Danielle Daniel. Students then got to pick the Sacred Teaching that they connected to most for their own writing. Students used a graphic organizer to plan their writing. This included the character traits of their chosen animal, a time they demonstrated that sacred teaching, and lastly, students used Pebble Go to research one scientific fact about their animal. Students completed a 1st draft after sharing with a peer. They also underlined any words they felt may be spelled incorrectly so we can edit their work together. On Friday, students worked on some Sacred Teaching Art to accompany their writing.  In math, we wrapped up our learning about fractions with a little quiz to see what students know. They did awesome! We did an addition and subtraction check in and refresher. I was hop...
