This week we are celebrating Dot Day!! The Dot by Peter H Reynolds is one of my favorite books! It is also one of my favorite times of the year when we celebrate that we all have greatness inside us, we just need to make a mark and see where it takes us!!
After a couple of days out for the hurricane and finishing testing for 1st, 3rd and 5th graders, we are finally back to normal days! This week we are celebrating Dot Day!! The Dot by Peter H Reynolds is one of my favorite books! It is also one of my favorite times of the year when we celebrate that we all have greatness inside us, we just need to make a mark and see where it takes us!! After listening to the story, kindergarten students are turning a dot into a picture. The older students are using Quiver to color a dot that they can move in virtual reality!!

It was wonderful to have an extra day off this weekend!! I got to spend it with my family and closest friends watching my beloved Gators play (and not win!)
I was excited to come back on Tuesday to try something new with my classes. I had Nearpod lessons for K, 1, 2 and 4th grades this week. Nearpod.com is great tool to turn slideshow type presentations into interactive learning. Kindergartners did a lesson on Fall. They learned all about the season and got to draw and answer questions as we went along. 1st graders had a landforms lesson. We visited different landforms, as well as drawing pictures, answering questions and even playing a game. 2nd graders had a lesson on Sequoya. They got to learn all about this Cherokee Indian, and explore and practice the Cherokee alphabet he created. 4th graders took a virtual field trip to New York City to practice map skills. Overall, every class loved this fun way to be an active part of their learning. We will definitely be using Nearpod many more times this year!! |
Mrs. PszczolaI have wanted to be a teacher since I was in 2nd grade, but I have always loved visiting the library. After teaching for 11 years, it was time to follow my heart- straight to the library! I love books!! I read as often as I can, all kinds of books. One of my proudest accomplishments is raising four amazing, book loving children. Archives
