Retropost: New Beginnings in Sight...

     This post has been a long time coming. As I work in my new classroom, I reflect on the past and how awesome my experience was at Liberty Grove. I have truly enjoyed and I will always remember every family that I have been in contact with. There are some people you meet that will forever be a part of your heart. That is what I feel for my Liberty Grove family. I am always but an email or DM away...so see you later my Liberty Grove family..

     My reflective state of mind also gives me a chance to prepare for what is to come. I am so excited to be joining this new team in a new position. Who ever would have thought I would leave 5th grade for 3rd grade! I can't believe it myself, but I believe this move is for a purpose. I can't wait to meet all of those little faces that will be working with me on this new journey. If you are reading this and you are one of my past Gators...or Gators who I never had the chance to have in my classroom...please know that I STILL LOVE YOU and I am ALWAYS here if you need me. If you are reading this and you are one of my current or future Panthers...LET'S GET READY TO ROCK AND ROLL my little Superhero! This is going to be a new beginning for all of us and this is going to be an awesome year! 

Life Cycles, Structures, and Functions...Oh My!

What a week we have had! New rotations, new behaviors, big disappointments. There is always a new day though. I have learned and always lived by the fact that when we mess up, we can do things differently tomorrow. We must learn from our mistakes. I try to instill that same spirit into these amazing students that I see everyday. Yes, our routine has been completely changed, but that is no excuse to change and resort to negative behaviors. I hope that after this break this weekend, students will come back ready to grind even harder. Today was especially tough. It is my hope that students have learned from this event. Whenever the consequence is administered, I hope students accept it and adjust so that we can move on with our leaning...especially since I only get to see them for 1 hr and 30 now. Things have certainly changed... Check below for updates!



Quick game of "Predator vs. Prey." The "predator" got upset when when the prey started using their structures and functions to survive.

 

This group broke out of our STAAR Review Escape Room...Congrats!

A couple of our superheroes received awards from the district this week. Congratulations girls! You deserve this recognition for all of your hard work and effort!

Students worked on animal hybrids this week. Each hybrid was labeled with inherited traits and learned behaviors.

Stay tuned for our research on animals, their environmental effects and their structures and functions.









Lots of things going on this week. Can't wait to see what happens next!
