My teaching profile

This week we will be working on introducing the elements of drama to our friendly neighbors. Students will identify, imitate, mirror, and create feeling and expression by using the face as an expressive tool. Students will also take turns participating in a short play in the classroom. Below are some pictures we took from our first try.

Be prepared to have our students ask Santa to bring them a telescope next Christmas! We had an amazing fun day filled with the many phases of the moon. Here are some pics to share from what our students have learned and will try to talk to you about today during dinner.

Once again thank you to all the parents and families that helped our wonderful neighbors bring their visualization to real life. Today we have some special volunteers showing off their amazing work. Happy 100 days of school from our neighborhood!

We know our little neighborhood has been working with numbers 0-120. This week have been reviewing numbers from 0-50, then  numbers 50-99 and lastly numbers 99-120. Today we our little neighbors received random numbers and together our neighborhood worked together to create a number line from smallest to the largest number.

Students and teacher are currently working on creating a list with words that include -ink and -unk

Thank you to the wonderful parents and families that have helped make this Winter Concert possible. Our neighborhood is so jolly and our little neighbors are beyond excited to perform.

We are getting ready for the holidays. Our students want to begin to decorate our classroom. There is only one condition.....there has to be learning involved. Please see our beautiful and colorful number sentences with 3 addends that equal 10.

Before our wonderful Fall break. Students and teacher will have time to learn and reflect on our celebration of Thanksgiving. This year I have decided to focus on how this holiday was created for us to slow down and appreciate all the things that we have and make us who we are. Today students had an opportunity to learn about the meaning of being thankful and reflect on the things they are thankful for. We also made colored our own turkeys! I am thankful for this wonderful neighborhood we have created and for the kind neighbors we have become to each other. Happy Thanksgiving to my friendly neighbor and their families!

Procedural texts tell us how to do something (step by step). I am excited and looking forward to do following with our students. We will also follow recipes as an example of procedural text. We will watch videos on "How it's made." Warning* Students may come back home wanting to back a pizza. Have a great week!

Dear families, This is one of the most wonderful times of the year! It is a pleasure to have your child in our classroom. Our students are embarking on a new adventure of fun learning. To start of the year I will be sending this parent survival handbook that has been assembled to help you understand our homework requirements and other important information that will enable us to make this a very positive and rewarding year. We feel as though open lines of communication between the parent, student, and teacher are the key to promoting our educational climate to be successful. We are looking forward to working with you and your child. Together we can make a difference! Sincerely, Ms. Ontiveros
