👋🏻 It’s been a while, but we’ve been busy! Recently my first graders finished CKLA domain 9, fairy tales. They showed some independence and collaboration during this unit. Also, I love a good pinch card for engagement! #CKLA #MCPS #LanguageLearners #1stgrade #workinghard

I was so worried about CKLA and how challenging it’d be when we started. While it is difficult my 1st graders are really trying! Loved using pinch cards to review learning. #watkinsmillelementary #CKLA #MCPS #languagelearners

WMES First graders have traveled back in time to use Cuneiform to write their names on clay tablets! Of course I’m an archeologist there to guide them through their time travel. #WMES #MCPS #CKLA #languagelearners

Monday we had our final pause day for K3:Similar Stories, Different Lands. Vocab posters for the review win! So please with my hard working first graders! #watkinsmillelementary #ckla #MCPS #languagelearners

I’m liking the pause days in CKLA and how we have some time to work the kids on projects to support and review learning. Differentiated passports was today’s project. #MCPS #watkinsmillelementary #CKLA #multilinguallearners

My first graders have now wrapped up their reading unit on the human body. One of my awesome co-teachers worked on this project with the kids recently. They did AMAZING work! #MCPS #watkinsmillelementary #CKLA #languagelearning

I’ve partnered with Dr. Wellbody from CKLA to teach my first graders about the human body. Of course I came prepared with my own lab coat, a body model and some model organs. #watkinsmillelementary #ckla #mcps #firstgrade #multilinguallearners #eldteacher

"In lieu of an 'icebreaker' to launch the new school year, think about having each grade or team in your building put their accomplishments together and share them with colleagues, students, parents and the community." (Via leader @Schoolguy)

No better way to start the week than having students collaborate and practice their speaking skills. #teacher #collaborativeconversations #languagelearners #elementaryeducator #firstgrade

Just over here making WIDA-like assessments that correlate to the curriculum for my ELD groups this week. How are you getting ready to return to your students tomorrow? #teachercreator

After reading The Gingerbread Man, we used our senses to create a list of adjectives we can use to describe characters and events in texts. Ss did a fantastic job of creatively and collaboratively coming up with a list of adjectives. #languagelearning #relia #the5senses

Today had a sweet ending! Two of my students from last year transferred to Watkins Mill ES. Today, while monitoring the hallway at dismissal they found me and were so excited. They greeted me with the biggest smiles and warmest hugs. Thankful for moments like this one. ❤️
