Today was early out for the kids, which means squeezing lots into our day! When we have early out the kids have to leave right from PE, which makes things interesting each week. Today not only did we have that to think about, but we had Mrs. Beckel coming in, Spanish starting (taught by Mrs. Hasbargen), and a couple high school hockey boys were coming in to read to our class!
Our math block is right away in the mornings,
and today I taught the kids how to use "Spin-It's". These are great for practicing different skills in a game style! This year we will be doing guided math, which is where the kids will be broken down into groups so they get more of a one-on-one teaching of our daily lessons! While they are not meeting with me they will be doing stations and fact fluency practice! Below is a video of a couple of the boys playing the spin it from our station! This was our first shot at them, so the kids worked with partners, I think it was safe to say they LOVED them.
After math we had Mrs. Beckel! This was the first time she was in the room this year with us. She will be coming in every Wednesday! Below is a picture of a couple kids who already knew the different types of breathing we can do.

Here is the high school hockey boys reading a story to the class! After they handed out youth hockey flyers to all the kids! The kids really enjoyed them coming in to read to them.
Overall we had a GREAT busy Wednesday!!
What a great thing for the hockey players to do! Is it a one time thing or do they come in throughout the year?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know it was just a one time thing! I love that they were involved in the classroom and would love for more people to come in and read and participate with our class!
