Happy Super Bowl Sunday! We hope that you have had a great weekend and that you are now getting ready to relax and snuggle up on the couch with some good food and family. Although many of us may not be super sports fans, the Super Bowl is a fun time to enjoy a little competition and some very creative commercials! This reminds us so much of school. Our students enjoy a little competition and some creativity too! In some of our formal observations in the last week we have seen so many of you finding creative ways to engage your students in purposeful practice. Some of these practice opportunities have involved games. In Mrs. Uebelacker's room students worked to put themselves in number order while playing a game called "Where Do We Go?" In Ms. Racioppi and Mrs. Baldwin's lessons we say students play Kahoot, but also engaged in reteaching and discussion around questions that several students got wrong when then data tables popped up. In Mrs. Angelo's room students played a "Slap" game to practice sight words. After their word was slapped they had to share what consonant digraph they saw that helped them figure out that word. Practice can be fun too! In Mrs. Hertenlehner's kindergarten room we saw students have an opportunity to "change" matter by smashing, tearing, cutting, and crumbling paper and dough. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Ierfino both also let students practice by getting on and off a "bus" that was marked with tape on the floor or by hopping on and off a paper "log" as if they were a frog. We love seeing you all find ways for your students to practice that keep them engaged, but very aligned to your standards and the critical content of the day! Keep up the great work!
We will keep the rest of this memo short so you can continue enjoying the last bit of your weekend and the game tonight! Please let us know if you any questions or needs this week!
