Last night’s Animal Wax Museum was a huge success. Students dressed up as animals and taught parents what they learned about habitat, movement, body covering, and adaptations.
I love getting morning hugs and hellos from former students. Once a Mighty Moose, always a Mighty Moose!❤️

Last Friday was a Snowy Day in our room. We listened to snowy read stories and created a snowman STEM project: snowmen in a bag. We sorted buttons and eyes by size into a bag, made fluffy slime, and added it to our bags.

Using multi-sensory strategies to learn new sight words. We write, say it, and read it. We like to remind ourselves to “say it for the magic” when we are learning new words.
