Creative Students engaging in learning opportunities that THEY create!

Brooke enjoys learning about birds so she collaborated with her Dad 

and made a bird house.

Eleanor made a "Fork Friend"  which I think could be a good reading pointer.

I spy her hundreds chart behind her which makes me happy.

From a distance....

   FREE WRITE FRIDAY.................Hopefully, you will join Isaac and write about anything you want today. HMMMMMM......I can't make up my mind.  I'm deciding between castle adventure stories, summer adventures that I love, make believe sleepovers at school, taking a field trip with my class to a waterpark, or writing about my wish of wanting to return to school as soon as it is possible.

Just a few Smiles to share..............

Did anything make you smile today?

A mix of snow, sun, iPads, maps, daily schedules, set 2 word wall words, and an email that sent you links to a read aloud I recorded for you all!

Learners Everywhere: facebook, emails, photos, bedrooms, dining rooms, outside, in the garage, on the couch, and on OUR blog!

Hi Donald

Hi Isaac

Hi Jake

          Hello's from all your K friends and teachers!

Have you thanked your parents today for learning with you?

I hope you do.  Love, Mrs. Topchik 

We will sing to Lily when we return to school and she will get to choose if she stands on the chair or the stool when we sing to her.

Do you think she will stand on the chair or the stool?

Which did you choose?  Do you remember when we sang to you?  Remember if you have a summer birthday we will celebrate in June before summer vacation.

WE LOVE BIRTHDAYS!  WE LOVE OUR CLASS!

Have you....................

finished your leprechaun puppet?

 written me a letter?

documented the weather?

made daily schedule cards to use at home?

read with your siblings and/or parents?

Rae has set up a nice, little work space at her house too.  I am so proud of all my K learners practicing school work, reading books at home, and sending me letters (well, hopefully sending me letters so I can write you back)!

Few More Learners for you....

Noah decided it was Spiderman Day at his house for his learning.

March 18th

School closed on Monday due to the world pandemic.
We are all facing the unknown and the unimaginable.
Many precautions have been put into place including connecting with our students while we are absent from school. My hope is to connect through work packets, emails, videos, phone calls, and snail mail as well as any other creative ideas any of us may have or be inspired to do.  This blog will allow our students to see each other.  Evelyn sent a video yesterday and she gave me the ok to post so you could all see her reading the St. Patricks Day poem.

I will be sending an email out later today to see if you are okay if I post some of the learning experiences you are participating in at home on this blog for our classmates to enjoy.
