Asked this question this morning and got this answer: “Children are not grumpy like adults.” Kinda true and made me giggle!
Starting the year with a focus on #ATLSkills #CommunicationSkills - Students made small presentations about choices they make based on our #WWA unit and were assessed by peers, their teacher, and themselves - shared with parents. #HumanSkills @FISSharks
One of my colleagues created this amazing camp fire for their early years summer school class. I wish I didn’t have to teach today so I could join! @FISSharks
Learning about #Space through a #RolePlay #Gamified adventure! Ss learned how Earth's movement & position affect life on Earth. Passed a @quizizz to show their knowledge. Earned pilot wings on a fun & silly adventure, writing in a journal to develop writing skills.

Developing #ATLSkills by teaching & assessing in 1 unit, then practicing in next, while focusing on a diff one. Practicing #ResearchSkills from last unit & teaching & assessing #CommunicationSkills now. Students research a change maker, then present by being the person.@FISSharks
I read a book to G1 for their unit and received individual written thank you notes (which were so cute) and chocolate. @jeni_leich is really teaching these kids some valuable lessons on how to express gratitude. @FISSharks
The #gamified #multiplication & #division unit really motivated students to learn their facts and support each other in the process! @FISSharks
We recently did the #saidisdead lesson, "killing" the word "said" so students learn about synonyms and use different words in their writing. One student asked me today if it was really dead. He wondered if it was dead all over the world or just in Japan. Maybe I oversold it...
Started our #gamified mult & div unit. Ss work as a class team to earn points & get prizes like class games, free time in class, outside play, etc... every 50 points. Motivating learning and also encouraging the class to support and help each other learn! @FISSharks
