Took my students on 2 virtual field trips this week! One student sent me a picture she drew from our field trip to the Australian Zoo! Too good not to share! #newpalproud #elearning #virtualfieldtrip @SouthernHancock

After reading “Most Marshmallows,” by Rowboat Watkins, the students wanted to know if Rowboat was his real name. After some research, we decided to reach out and ask him. Can you figure out what his real name is from his response? The kids get to try tomorrow! @SouthernHancock

This week we are reading about firefighters. Jacob and Sloane both have dads that are firefighters. Jacob’s dad sent in some gear and emailed us to answer our questions!! So much fun! Thanks Mr. Walker! #newpalproud

Today was a STEM favorite for my class! STEM stations including some of their favorites, @PlayOsmo & @_Cubetto 🥳 #newpalproud #STEM @SouthernHancock

Today we signed our classroom agreement. Each week, we’ve thought of rules that would make our school and our classroom a comfortable, happy place to be. We think about our actions and do things because they are the right thing to do! #newpalproud @SouthernHancock

Mrs. Seib & Mrs. Keesling visited our class to share a lesson about social thinking. We talked about considering others thoughts and feelings, as well as how to handle strong emotions. #newpalproud @SouthernHancock

We decided that mathematicians work with one another, communicate, and try to do math in many different ways. Using these traits, we partnered up to build LEGO creations! #funfriday #newpalproud @SouthernHancock

Our principal @JKehrt_SCE stopped by with a book to share! Thank you for letting us join you in rhyming! #newpalproud @SouthernHancock

That’s a wrap for cooking camp! We’ll be back next year!! Yesterday we made Asian Lettuce wraps. Today we enjoyed some berry yogurt popsicles and baked homemade sugar cookies! #newpalproud @SouthernHancock

Day 3! Spaghetti squash with meat sauce and take home pizzas for lunch! *Pizzas not pictured, I think we were having too much fun ;) * Pizza was topped with veggies, turkey sausage, and turkey pepperoni! What will we make tomorrow? #newpalproud @SouthernHancock

Day 2! We made our veggie egg cups. Students were able to add red, green, or yellow pepper, mushroom, spinach, and turkey sausage! They topped them with cheese they grated themselves. We prepped for tomorrow’s spaghetti squash with meat sauce! #newpalproud @SouthernHancock

Today’s first day of Cooking Camp with @mskmcqueen and I went so well! The kids got to make breakfast smoothies (with spinach!!) and prepped for tomorrow’s egg muffins by chopping veggies! #newpalproud @SouthernHancock

Using shapes to compose new shapes & showing how they did it with iPads! #newpalproud

My class got 15 compliments so they voted to play GaGa ball! (I may have joined in... it’s great!! Thanks @Jason20670988 !!) so much fun!!! #newpalproud @SouthernHancock

Couldn’t agree with this more

Me: Hands student spring pictures. Student: “Mrs. Swhear, this is so weird. In all of these pictures I’m wearing the SAME OUTFIT!”

Partnered up with @mskmcqueen and her class to hear the books they wrote. Then my students read one to them! Thank you Miss McQueen for inviting us!! #newpalproud #futurefirstgraders @SouthernHancock
