Preparing our notebooks for writing workshop! These will hold all of our stories and inspiring ideas this year so we take time to personalize them at the start of the year! #NevadaCubPride

Today we built our social contract. #ckh #capturingkidshearts #NevadaCubPride

During the first days we play games to learn each other’s names. This one really had us giggling! #NevadaCubPride

Reading around the room! #NevadaCubPride

Happy first day of school! #NevadaCubPride

First day fun! #BeKind #firstdayofschool #NevadaCubPride

Join us for '𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚' night! 🗓️ Oct. 13 ⏰ 6:00-7:00pm 🥪 5:30-6:00pm (PTA Meal) 🏫 Central Elementary #NevadaCubPride

We got to visit our buddy class, the Palmer Pals, today! We did a get-to-know-you activity and made some artwork together. #NevadaCubPride

Today we had pair conferences to get feedback on drafts we want to publish. #WritingWorkshop #NevadaCubPride

A few more photos from yesterday!

In the afternoon we got to learn about the entire prairie habitat @StoryCoCons with Ms. Bekah. Our awesome chaperones led the students through stations and we ended the day with a hike! #NevadaCubPride

Ms. Jess with @StoryCoCons had the kids try to hide in the prairie like insects would. Then she was the bird and tried to spot them. Last she had the grown-ups go be the insects and then let the kids be the birds and come find us! #NevadaCubPride

We had a great time learning about, finding, and studying insects with Ms. Jess this morning! Thanks @StoryCoCons! #NevadaCubPride

The fabulous Britt from Dog-Eared Books helped us kick off our book rec wall! Using “shelf talker” cards from the store, she taught us how to share key ideas about a book without spoilers and we wrote some shelf talker cards that may be featured at the bookstore! #NevadaCubPride

Happy Homecoming week! #NevadaCubPride

Our wonderful art teacher, Ms. Sandra, engaged students in an amazing project this week! #NevadaCubPride

Today we learned about the writing process by sculpting with Play-Doh. After playing with ideas, drafting, revising, and editing, students had the chance to take a gallery walk to view our final products. #NevadaCubPride

Excited about our finished products! #NevadaCubPride

Getting ready for writing workshop by decorating the notebooks that will hold all of our wonderful writing! #NevadaCubPride

2nd try at the paper chain challenge: Teams adjusted their strategies and made improvements. The best part: instead of being worried about whose chain was the longest, they were discussing how huge the chain would be if we connected each part as one big team! #NevadaCubPride
