I let a few students pick out books to order in their native language. They arrived today, and I can’t get them to put them down! #cpsELbest

Super late post: We took our incredible ELs to Bradford Farms to finish out our plant unit! It was amazing to see them using the vocab we’ve been working on. (Shout out to @CounselorOMS frolicking in the pumpkin patch in her pjs!) #cpsELbest

These @ParkadePanthers put all of their knowledge of opera together by planning the story elements, characters, and setting for their own mini operas. Then we got to go outside to perform! You haven’t lived until you’ve heard first grade opera. #playpke

We had a special visit from a @utahopera resident artist (my sister) this morning! After learning from her, we listened to opera music and decided whether we would rather be in an opera or go see an opera! @ParkadePanthers #playpke

When it’s the week before spring break AND pajama day, you get to write on the tables! #playpke

Spirit Week Day 1: Pajama Day! #playpke

We were so excited to celebrate our first birthday (and create a boomerang😂) since returning to in-person! **Masks were off only while we were eating.

Just take some deep breaths, Mr. Grinch. That's how we get through hard times❤ @ParkadePanthers

He was definitely looking for details in the illustrations😂

Sometimes you have to just let kids be kids🍁@ParkadePanthers

Keeping our masks on and remembering to stay in our “bubble” can be tricky, but these firsties didn’t let that stop them from having a fantastic first day! @ParkadePanthers

Managed to snap a picture of some of our firsties during our pajama and stuffed animal day! Who would have thought that wearing pjs at home could feel so special? @ParkadePanthers

Highlights of my day: 1. Swapping out bags of read alouds with @Ms_Elam1st and @seigelsfirsties 2. Meeting these sweethearts through the window🐶 @ParkadePanthers

I’m so thankful to have seen these sweet kiddos tonight. We wished each other well, shared what we’ve been up to and movie recommendations, and laughed about my recent run-ins with angry birds. I’ve missed having these beautiful smiles in my life. @MrsButcherEL @ParkadePanthers

First grade team is wishing you well! Missing these ladies💙 #cpsbest @ParkadePanthers

Love is the last thing we need to ration right now❤️

We’re ready for Sunday in room 305 #chiefskingdom

We took some time to learn about Lunar New Year this week after we discovered our in-class experts! @ParkadePanthers

As we read and discussed why we celebrate MLK day, we challenged ourselves to come up with ways to make the world a kinder place. These firsties have the biggest hearts and the most open minds💙 @ParkadePanthers
