Safety Drill

Today we did a massive safety drill.  All our students in the district got an extra day off for MEA break because our district decided to do an active shooter safety drill.  Below are some links to the articles and news piece on the drill.  Hearing gunshots in a school is a scary thing even when you know they are fake for the drill, it still makes you think.  Glad we did this and got the chance to debrief after.

Helpers in my classroom

Tonight I had to run back to school to grab a couple things for the long weekend and I was watching my niece and nephew tonight so they came with me.  I think they had a little fun in school after hours 😁  Of course we made a pit spot at my moms, we also did all the things that students are doing that most teachers are being driven crazy by!

Stepping Stones

This activity took my group a while to figure out, but once they actually starting using the skills on the papers and working as a team they did awesome!  Fun activity to watch and observe and I enjoyed taking the stones when they didn't follow what they said but they figured out how to earn them back!
