School year kick off

 I was uber nervous to start this year...more than normal.

Children are resilient and adaptable.  90-95% just wear their masks like it has always been part of their wardrobe.  Everyone is wearing a mask correctly.  They sit at desks and try their best. Super impressive!

Internet Safety is a big topic at the start of the year for my curriculum.

1st and 2nd grade used the digital citizen curriculum by Common Sense Media.

In addition, 2nd grade did a project to make snowflake gears.  Those now are in our main hallway.

3rd and 4th grade made concept mind maps about Internet Safety as well completed a "Think Outside the Box" project.  Again, these are hanging in a long lost hallway at the senior high school, but student work hanging is a big important part of the school experience.

Here are a few of our mind maps...we talked about what personal information not to share, what to do/not to do when "gaming", and how to interact with peers. Then these are posted in TEAMS for future reference. We use TEAMS to share information. 

Day 1 did a slightly different lesson, but I decided to modify for the other days! I will upload another image for those students.

Kindergarten are learning about STEAM.  We have done tin foil boats, shapes, and bubble wands.  We have had to work through not sharing and social distancing, but it is working out!
