Do you remember learning to type? Gone are the days of Mavis Beacon (or AOL instant messenger- which is really where I learned to type! 😂😂)
2nd graders are practicing this important life long skill! 💻


Math work in first grade! Our teachers spend 1:1 time with all students during math workshop. We all belong in the math classroom. Everyone is a “math person” with the right teacher! ✖️➗➕➖🧮


Strong, respectful voices.
We continue to teach students strategies to prevent bullying behavior. We must grow in our confidence, and with help from teachers we can curb mean behavior.
Keep practicing those assertive voices! 💪🗣️
