⛵#ELB21 5th Grade SEL: Shrinking Vessel🦈
5th graders had to use teamwork to figure out how to get the entire group in a rectangle on the ground surrounded by sharks. After much trial and error, they needed a little help from Mr. Littrel to come up with a winning plan. After reflecting on the activity, students felt they could’ve done better by incorporating the following healthy habits: Beginning with a Plan in Mind, Thinking Win-Win and Seeking First to Understand and Then be Understood.
🎈#ELB21 1st Graders Synergizing!🎈
1st Graders learned about habit #6 Synergizing. Students played a balloon game where they had to work together to keep the balloons in the air. They had a great time and learned working together is better! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
#ELB21 Synergizing Second Graders!
Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Fauser, and Ms. Thompson are having their 2nd graders work on healthy habit #6: SYNERGIZE! Students were given the task of engineering the tallest tower they can while working with their tables buddies. Check out the student collaboration and design! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
#ELB21 Kindergarten "What is it?" Game!
Last week, the kindergarten class played a game call "What is it?" They used the listening and attending skills they learned to guess the mystery item. Can you guess the mystery item? It lives in the garden, it has 2 body parts and 8 legs. #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
#ELB21 Growth Mind Set Portraits
Last week, the 5th grade students made self portraits using construction paper to go along with their growth mindset lessons. #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
#ELB21 First Things First w/ 1st!
1st grade learned about Habit #3 today: Put First Things First. We made rock jars and learned the importance of prioritizing, time management, and organization. The big rocks represent things that are the most important and urgent (ex: Family, health, school/work). The smaller rocks are things that are important, but not urgent (ex: Watching TV, playing games, talking to friends). The sand is the remaining small stuff (ex: toys and material things). #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
💦#ELB21 3rd Keeping Fred Dry! 💦
3rd graders have stepped up to the challenge of trying to Keep Fred Dry! Check out the instructions and all the hard work/team work these innovative students have! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
🐟#ELB21 3rd Graders Think WIN-WIN! 🐟
3rd graders in the Extended Learning Block practiced one of the 7 Habits of Happy Kids today. Habit 4 Think Win-Win! They used the story The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister to practice this habit and created their own fish! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
⚽***#ELB21 Kindergarten Crew Having a Ball!***⚽
Our kindergarteners practiced their team work and problem solving skills when trying to pass the ball with their feet to their classmates. The students could not use their hands or letting it touch the ground! This was a challenge but they all worked together and found the most efficient way to pass the ball all the way around the circle. They did so well we thought we would share some pictures with you! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN

🎡Farmington Central Final Week Fun! Part 2- Mrs. Collins' Class🎡
Although there were only 4 days in our final week of the 2020-2021 school year, it was jam packed with memorable moments.
Mrs. Collins' class read the book Mr. Ferris and His Wheel. Afterwards, they worked to design & build their own ferris wheels! It was quite impressive. We definitely have some future engineers in this classroom! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
Extended Learning Block Rocks!!! 🎨
2nd graders in the Extended Learning Block are "rocking" it! In between lessons, Mrs. Colllins, Mrs. Fauser and Ms. Thompson's students came together to paint their rocks. It looked like they were having a blast! Don't just take my word on it...the attached video shows what the kids think! https://youtu.be/I2JjBcXkfyI
5th Grade Extended Learning Block SEL Activity
Along with the enriched learning our students are receiving in the classroom, time is being taken for social-emotional learning. The 5th grade team worked on some team building on Monday. The students were put into teams of 2 and then given 2 pieces of construction paper and glue sticks. (No scissors) They had to see which team, and then which class could create the longest paper chain. #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
