In 2014, I worked as an IA at @WillRogersSTEM alongside Mrs. Urias, a one-of-a-kind teacher. Though she retired in 2019, we have remained close friends. We have shared many moments together over the years in @SMMUSD & beyond. Today, she met my baby (the twinning was accidental)!

I feel like I should keep a pocket-sized version of this article on me at all times to hand out every time someone asks me, “What grade do you teach?” followed by… “What is TK?”

As an early childhood educator expecting my first baby (any day!), revisiting favorites and finding new books and authors while organizing the nursery bookshelf has been one of the most exciting parts of this journey. 🩵

Today, we read Most Marshmallows by Rowboat Watkins and challenged ourselves to make marshmallow structures using mini marshmallows and toothpicks.

In TK, we’ve been setting goals for 2024 and talking about what it means to “put your best foot forward.” 🎊

After reading Latke, the Lucky Dog, one student mentioned that latkes and pancakes are “like the same but not exactly.” A double bubble @ThinkingMaps was the perfect way to organize our thinking about that!

Liquid watercolors from @Blick_Art are probably my favorite art material to use in TK. 🎨 After discussing and sorting warm vs. cool colors, we tested out some of our warm color watercolors using Q-tips. The results were beautiful! ❤️🧡💛
