When your friendship reaches this level, there's no going back;) Had a blast dressing up as a coconut tree today with the teacher bestie! The kiddos LOVED re-telling the story of "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" while sticking letters on their teachers. #kindergartenteacher #kindertribe #kindergartenlife #iteachk #teacherbesties #bestiegoals #chickachickaboomboom #concordpride #setthestagetoengage #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram

Stop! Grammar Time!!! Today was all about nailing down those tough grammar concepts! We formed teams, earned points, and learned together. We began the day in a whole group setting!
1️⃣We played “Are You Smarter Than a 2nd Grader?” to review/reteach the 9 skills we were focusing on today.
2️⃣Then, students rotated threw 9 content rich games to apply and practice each skill.
3️⃣After each game students completed a short independent quick check to hold them accountable for their learning. This flow was so beneficial for reinforcing these tricky grammar skills! ☀️Although,At 6:00am when we were rolling into school we thought- “we have lost our minds yet again” but then at the end of the day .... this is what we live for!!!!

❤️Do your students LOVE games or is it just our group

Kristin says: “We know in today's world how important it is to build strong relationships with our students… it can literally make or break a child. So, my challenge to any teacher… is to start to build those same kinds of strong relationships with your fellow teachers.” YES. TO. THAT!
