Our morning walk destination was our middle school! Seun and her class met us for hot cocoa! Firsties got to introduce themselves to a middle schooler and it was such a thrill for them! We also mapped some streets along the way! @CPSCNC #walkingcurriculum #mapproject
I love talking to kids when we prepare food together. Today Ss cut up celery, peeled potatoes and carrots for vegetable soup. @CPSCNC #cookingandfoodinvestigations
We are thrilled to be back together again after a break! One student came in and said “I got up early this morning because I could not wait to be here!” @CPSCNC #walkingcurriculum
Today is the last day of the quarter! Whew! I taught firsties what the word reflecting means and had them take a few minutes to reflect on the quarter. @CPSCNC #Mindfulness #reflections
Did some belly breathing first thing today. One student said “that was awesome”. @Mindful_Schools #mindfulnessintheclassroom

Dropped into @CPSCNC and went for a walk with @AnnasClass noticing shapes. Also got to see 4th graders consider force and motion in their design of playgrounds. #learninghappenseverywhere
A few pics from our day with yoga, a great read aloud encouraging mindfulness, an exciting tree find and number-line work. @CPSCNC @Mindful_Schools #mindfulnessinschools #treeproject #readaloud #thisisfirstgrade
Today on our Morning Walk, our focus was finding vowels. “This is actually really fun,” one first grader said. @CPSCNC #walkingcurriculum #literacyoutside #placebasededucation
Today we read Another by Christian Robinson. We discussed perspective, mattering and creativity as we enjoyed this amazing wordless picture book. We appreciated your work @theartoffunnews You inspire us! @CPSCNC #readaloud #Blackauthor #BlackGenius
We had a comic party day today! @CPSCNC #justbecause #followtheirinterests #firstgrade #mindfulteaching
Mattering. It is a big but needed thing to unpack with students. I recommend this book by @csingleton__2 illustrated by @tbeardraws Our class read it yesterday and I think we will read it again and again. @ATN_1863 @learnforjustice @CPSCNC #antiracistteaching #mattering
It all started with one kid being inspired by the book Ghosts, now half the class is making comics. @CPSCNC #comics #firstgrade
Every morning we go for a walk. Today’s focus was sound! We heard cicadas, a helicopter, cars and much more! We even found a live cicada! @CPSCNC @NorthCarolinaEE #walkingcurriculum #getoutside #placebasededucation
