Learning about emotions in Kindergarten!
Mrs. Porter's Kindergarten students read The Kissing Hand and talked about the different emotions we experience. Then they used Play-Doh to mold different emotions from the story while strengthening their fine motor skills.
Learning Text Structures in 4th Grade
Students in Mrs. Quarles’ class at LUES are learning how authors organize information. They explored compare-and-contrast by reading articles, identifying similarities and differences, and organizing their thinking with Venn diagrams.
Learning how text is structured helps students better understand what they read, and they had a great time doing it!
