March Madness is so much better with books! @barrick_mandy and I loved choosing great books to share with our classes! “The Day The Crayons Quit” was our CHAMPION! Most importantly though, our students experienced some great literature! @jenniferfetner @SemmesElem

Best day in 2nd grade! Today we had an Easter Egg Math Hunt! We hunted for eggs while reviewing for the ACAP! Sure made my heart happy when I heard how much fun math was! We’re ready to do “eggcelent” on the Math ACAP! @jenniferfetner @SemmesElem

Can’t wait to watch @jamesbriscione kill it tonight on Beat Bobby Flay! @bflay, you’re going down! Also, if you’ve never been to @Angelenas_Pcola do yourself a favor and GO!! Celebrate our local chefs! #alabamachef #bestrestaurant #beatbobbyflay

Working on our measurement skills with gummy worms! We also decided to go one extra step and measure our gummy worms AFTER a yummy bite! @SemmesElem @jenniferfetner #AMSTI #gummywormstretch @jenAMSTIUSA

Writing our dictation words is so much more fun with shaving cream! @jenniferfetner @SemmesElem #phonicsfirst #bossyr

Today we reviewed data collection, bar graphs, and picture graphs with multicolored goldfish! We also read “One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish” to tie in Read Across America! Heard several times how fun math is and that it was the best day ❤️@jenniferfetner @SemmesElem

2 minutes and 22 seconds dance party to celebrate TWOSday!! @jenniferfetner @SemmesElem

So true! Maslow before Blooms!!

What a great day for America, teachers, and women! It has been nearly 100 years since women were given the right to vote, and now we will have a woman as our VP! We will also have a FLOTUS who is a TEACHER!! #bidenharis2020 #WomenForBidenHarris #teachervoice #ByeByeTrump

My 2nd graders blew this #numbertalk out of the water today!!! I was so excited I had to go straight to @JohnsonValAL office to show her! Sure made this teacher’s math heart so happy!! #semmesational #remotelearning #wevegotthis #welovemath @jenAMSTIUSA

So excited for this training! #phonicsfirst #day1 #semmesational #learningleading #2ndgrade @Mrs_Douglas1 @steph_malcom @JDay3rd

So excited to read these new books to my babies this year! Whether it’s online or in person, we will be working hard to build those relationships and instill a love of reading!! #2ndgrade #welovebooks #everyoneiswelcome

Phenomenal dinner at @Angelenas_Pcola! @jamesbriscione is an incredibly talented chef with the most amazing cuisine! If you are in Pensacola and craving something delicious, Angelenas is the place to go! If you are not in Pensacola, it is worth the drive! Great wine list as well

Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes!! Happy summer! #jimmybuffet #beach #summervacay #teachersonvacation #lostshakerofsalt @jimmybuffett

Halloween math fun! We reviewed 1 and 2 step word problems with a Halloween twist! Welcome to Math or Treat! So much learning, fun, and collaboration went on and the Halloween prizes were the cherry on top to a fabulous math lesson! #semmesational #learningleading #mathortreat

Working on our mathematical practice standards through our Prove It posters! We loved critiquing work and being able to prove each one correct and loved it even more when we proved it incorrect! #semmesational #learningleading #proveitposters

Working on partner collaboration, math talk, practicing our place value, as well as comparing 3 digit numbers with some delicious snacks! We used a decahedra dice to make our 3 digit numbers then built our number with our snacks! Math is so fun! #semmesational #LearningLeading
