One of my favorite holiday traditions
🎁 Compliment Present Trees🎁
Students write a compliment to each other on a personally designed paper “gifts” and add it to each other’s trees. The final product brings joy & fills each kid up with a reminder of what makes them special 💫

EE “buzz” was a hit this morning. Kiddos practiced reading EE words and eventually had to define them in order to keep their cards. “Buzz” cards meant all the cards they collected went back in the bucket—it was anyone’s game! 🐝

In honor of Election Day, we read “Vote for Our Future” and the kiddos created their own ballots with things they would want to vote for. Then they explained which one would be their top choice if they had to pick just one!
