We had some Friday fun working on phonics skills today. Dice games, Go Fish, Bingo, and online Wordwall games are some ways we reviewed short vowels and blends. Have a great weekend everyone!
Welcome back to school black bears! I’m excited to start my 26th year of teaching. Let’s make it our best year yet.
What a fast five weeks! Thank you to all the students & families who participated in our summer program. I was lucky enough to get to work with all 50+ preK-gr 4 students each week to review phonics skills. Enjoy August and see you in September! 😻
So much fun at our Summer Success program! We are reviewing phonics skills through lots of engaging games, books, and activities.
It’s been wonderful to watch my kindergarten students “bloom” this year. Today we went outside to practice all the letters & sounds they’ve learned with sidewalk chalk. 👩🏫
I’ve only been on twitter since 2009 but have been teaching for 25+ years. It’s been a wild, wonderful ride.
When you’re learning about consonant +le syllables, of course you want to do some nonfiction reading about turtles. We learned the biggest turtle can weigh around 2,000 pounds! And check out these awesome guided drawings. 🐢
What a treat to find an envelope in my school mailbox today from @YoungWritersUSA. Inside it were letters announcing that ⭐️9⭐️ of my fourth grade writers had their poems chosen for the Wonderverse anthology. Congratulations to these students! Big Cross is so proud of you. 📝
Hope everyone enjoyed the winter break. We’re headed back to school tomorrow for the last week in February…which means spring is coming soon, right?!
Come see me and @Mrscapozucca tomorrow at the 7th annual Battle for the Bridge basketball game to benefit @shmdnow. We have 14 amazing baskets like this one to raffle, plus 50/50, concessions, and cheerleaders from both schools. Will this be the year @GlensFallsCSD gets the win?
These awesome kids have worked hard to master vowel teams like “ai” in “brain,” “oe” in “toe,” and “ie” in pie. To celebrate their efforts, we read a funny book called “Crows Share a Pie” and then we ate some 🥧. I’d say the chocolate pie was a hit!
The Big Cross Thanksgiving breakfast is one of my favorite traditions each year. A shared meal in our cozy pajamas is such a fun way to kick off the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃🍽️
One of my favorite yearly projects - “thank you” cards and letters to our local veterans from the kindergarten - fourth graders at Big Cross. @BCMorcone

My fourth grade friends practiced the “Stop and Jot” note taking strategy for nonfiction as they read about bats. 🦇 They’ll turn their notes into a summary paragraph to share their learning.
October is here and we had a little pumpKin fun to practice spelling words with c or k. We learned the rhyme “K gets i and e and C takes the other 3 (vowels).” 🎃 Happy fall, everyone!
