In the Classroom...

•    First Wheel Spin!
• Every time we have a classroom visitor, they get to spin our WHEEL! This is just for fun, but it truly builds a fun community! If the visitor lands on the star, everyone earns a Jolly Rancher. It's harder than it looks.
  
  
• We are still LOVING our rolling standing desks.  They are so versatile and we all use them daily.
  
  
• Morning Meetings are a favorite time of day!
• We LOVE playing Morning meeting games. We play all of the games in this morning meeting game pack from TPT.
• VIDEO of the activity we did in September. 
  
  
• We started the ROCK of the Week! 
• The Scoop: This award will go to a student who is steady, dependable, and strong—just like a rock. Whether it’s standing firm when things get tough, supporting classmates, or showing consistency in their work, this student reminds us that being solid and reliable makes a big difference.
• Snag the ROCK on Amazon!
