Today while talking about what we are grateful for, a student says, "being at school!" Another one jumps up and yells, "My grateful meter is so high right now!" It makes me so happy to be back and hear things like this from the kids. 🥰 #usdlearns #teamaltavista

You have to love walking into a classroom on a Friday morning and being surrounded by the smell of apples and cinnamon. You guessed it - our first graders in Mrs. Phillips' class are making applesauce! #usdlearns #TeamAltaVista
Today we learned which liquid will keep the apple from turning brown. #usdlearns #teamaltavista

Mrs. Phillips’ first graders take a mind and body break as they do some yoga after a math assessment. A wonderful way to regroup and bring calmness into the classroom. #TeamAltaVista #usdlearns
Today we used @Seesaw Activities for the first time. Students loved sorting "short i" words and recording their results. #usdlearns #TeamAltaVista
