Who says you can’t still have fun while socially distanced?! Getting our 4th graders pumped up for their reading SOL- they’ve got this 💪🏼 @JohnJenkinsEle1 @PWCSNews

Love that @Janeth71242054 has so much fun with her students 🤪 @JohnJenkinsEle1 @PWCSNews

Shout out to @asmialekgmu! So impressed by this lady when I pushed in today! She asks all the right questions to get the kids talking ❤️ As she juggles her military life and teaching, she somehow made time to host a movie social for her class tonight! @JohnJenkinsEle1

These guys were excited to read their first chapter book! They said they missed reading and holding a “real”book now that we are reading from a screen all the time. So yesterday we started a silly chapter book about reindeer 🦌@JohnJenkinsEle1 @PWCS_Elem_LA @PWCSNews

Last week we worked on finding unknown words using context clues and dictionaries, then practiced stopping and jotting. I’ve been with these guys for 2 years, and their growth amazes me everyday! ❤️ @JohnJenkinsEle1 @Marlene44790981

Monday’s are for book drop off 💁‍♀️ My students wanted to make sure they could read over Winter break, so they asked if they could borrow some books. Why not?! So excited that they love reading so much 📖❤️ @JohnJenkinsEle1 @PWCS_Elem_LA @PWCSNews

I’m always so impressed by @MsKnight44 and her students! She does such a great job of scaffolding- between word banks, sentence stems, and modeling. Look how hard they’re working on their writing! ❤️ @JohnJenkinsEle1 @PWCSNews @PWCS_Elem_LA

We were excited about seeing @jackiyoungblood on our vocabulary slide today in small group 📚📖 @JohnJenkinsEle1 @PWCSNews

Mrs.Pene’s 4th graders are having a great time in reading group working on comparing/contrasting characters! #reading @pwcsela @PWCSNews @JohnJenkinsEle1

Our 4th grade teachers enjoying story book characters 📖 @JohnJenkinsEle1 @asmialekgmu

Teacher win for the week! Book character day- this guy here picked a rabbit because he loved the story as read last week called Too Many Carrots! He even made his own costume 🐰🥕 @JohnJenkinsEle1 @MrsShpil @jackiyoungblood

So proud of how hard these guys are working in their ESOL groups! This week they are recording a book review about their reading group book. With a few sentence frames, they took off on writing their script! They are so excited to record 🎬 @JohnJenkinsEle1 @pwcsela @PWCSNews

These two ladies worked hard all week, so we spent our lunch together, showing off their pets’ tricks. In case you’re wondering, the bird knows how to shake 😂 @JohnJenkinsEle1 #lunchbunch

Friday morning dance party with @ofishallyMissB’s class.... so much fun! 🐝 @JohnJenkinsEle1

Virtual groups require lots of tech on the teacher side, but we’re in a great routine now! Everyday as they get on Zoom, they get @myONreader pulled up in a tab with their reading group book, and we practice our word work using an old iPhone as a doc cam 👍🏼 @JohnJenkinsEle1

Groups today are off to a great start! Thanks to @UFLiteracy for providing the sound boxes- they’ve been a lifesaver! In Zoom, I’m able to give a student control of the remote, so they can drag and drop- such a cool feature that makes it much more interactive! @JohnJenkinsEle1

Who says you can’t do a reading group virtually?! We did sight words, word work, and guided reading. Looping up with these guys allowed us to pick up right where we left off! Week 3 is going to be great! #fourthgrade #reading #janrichardson @JohnJenkinsEle1 @asmialekgmu

This guy here has been a great leader! He has worked so hard and followed directions. He always makes the right choice, even when it can be hard to do! @MsFay8 @JohnJenkinsEle1

Going through old photos and videos- these kiddos reminded me that we are going to figure it out and make it through this! #thirdgrade #elementary #HallOfFame
