Weather Week Lesson Plans

This week is weather week! This is one of my most favorite weeks that I have with the kids. Here are what my plans look like. Here are my books for the week! People always ask me about the books. I let them read the books off the shelf 🙂 I get my books from […]

Day and Night Sky with Moon Experiment

Whew… I am exhausted! Getting back in to the swing of things has been an adjustment for sure…but we have been learning lots of great things this week! The first thing we did this week for day and night sky was read about it (I mean…how else do you introduce a topic!?)   The students […]

Peek at My Week {back at it}

November BUILD Math Tubs

We got started on our November BUILD tubs today and I loved watching my kids transition so seamlessly this time around. Last year, since I started BUILD in December, it really took a few months for my kids to get their groove. This year, since I started in August, I feel like they really got […]
