Last Week in Photos


We began to work in our handwriting


Outside mask breaks feel wonderful!

We’re finding things to do since we can’t use the playground...yet.

First graders are quickly learning the ins and outs of SeeSaw.

Mask down just for a smile - he wanted to show his work.

Our self-portraits this year are modeled after Todd Parr’s artwork in his children’s books.

We practiced writing ‘red’ words on our boards and then got to draw a Crazy Critter.

Math games are always more fun with a friend.

First Day - Round 2

Again, I am amazed by our class! Truly, this is a special group of kids I can already tell. They were so so patient with me and each other and all of our new rules and routines. 

Coloring first day crowns

Working so hard to figure out different features of SeeSaw

This divider makes me laugh. I keep telling kids they look like they’re in a TV set.

Another Great Day!


We went outside for guidance today with Mrs. McCleary!

We took a mask break to learn a new song.

The VIP got to circle all of the ‘cans’ he could find.

First Day (#1)

Today was amazing! Systems worked, kids were prepared, and I think we were able to squeeze some fun in! I tried to take some pictures today without showing student faces. Once the blog release forms are back I’ll post their awesome smiling (Even under a mask) faces!

We started our new journals.

We began to explore with SeeSaw.

We enjoyed some Jitter Juice and then graphed the results.

We had our first mystery name.

Everyone quickly learned where on the rug they should sit.
