Ms. Shalabi is our permanent substitute at Lieb School and is a gift! She is flexible, professional, and a great problem-solver. She never hesitates to jump in where needed. Thank you!
Ms. Schmitz and Ms. Garoufalis do great work alone AND together! Whether it's supporting students speech and building their confidence to helping families who need more assistance, this duo is not to be stopped! This week, they were teaching how to show good manners.
Ms. Ghosein is working with her students using our new phonics curriculum, FUNdations. It's so FUN!! Ms. Ghosein can switch out one letter (ex: rap and rat) and the students tap it out to read the word. It's amazing!
Ms. Freeman and the 5th grade students are working hard this week, making edits to each other's work. Thankfully, our technology helps make this an interactive, real-world practice. Students use google suite to edit each other's work.
Ms. Grela was reviewing "unique" as a vocabulary word. Students got to draw and explain what makes them unique as an individual. Ms. Grela teaches academic and important self-love and kindness concepts. Thank you, Ms. Grela!
Ms. Reed not only teaches dribbling and coordination, but she also reminds kids about their left vs. right hand. PE covers so many important concepts while keeping kids active and healthy! Thank you, Ms. Reed!
1st grade students are working with Ms. Shehadeh on matching pictures and vocabulary that rhyme! Students sound out the word using the tapping technique in Fundations. Ask your Kindergartner or 1st grader to tap out a word to you today!
Mr. Volpe is doing close reads with students this week. Today, students were learning how to use context clues to interpret different vocabulary.
Ms. Meyer does a great job pushing into classes and pulling students for small group attention. You can see her and Ms. Devries giving "unicorn" signs with the students to show they are finished with the problem and ready to move on. Ms. Meyer is such a good sport!
Ms. Litchfield never hesitates to work with students all over the building! You will see her in the classroom, in a corner in the hallway, and even in the cafeteria. No obstacle gets in the way of our teachers being there for our students. They are awesome!
Students work hard to learn their multiplication equations with Ms. Liceaga completing an Equation Hunt Challenge! Ms. Liceaga loves working in small groups with her students to push their academics.
Major fun happening in in 4th grade Science! Mr. Kooyman's students are learning about circuits, energy, batteries, voltage, and so much more! Students are loving creating their own circuit and learning how energy travels.

Kindergarteners dressing extra special for lunch. Happy New Year from Mrs. Hussein’s class.
Our P.E. classes are always incorporating cross-curricular activities. They talk about the different seasons, months, and even do multiplication! This student is holding up a dice that the team multiplies to play a scooter game!
Ms. Queenan and Ms. Pfiffner's class were super cozy! Students embraced the theme of not letting others judge you and believe. They look like they had fun and got the message!
Students in Ms. Wrobel's Kindergarten room participated in a "mystery reader". A parent reads to the students via zoom and the students don't know who the parent will be. They were so excited! We love incorporating parents into our day, even if they can't be in the building.
We had 2 busy days before Winter Break. Students in Ms. Green's Second Grade Class did an ornament/gift painting craft to give to their loved ones.
We had 2 busy days right before Winter Break. Students in Ms. Joudeh's K room learned the importance of playing board games at home. Board Games are so important in developing executive functioning: organization, sequencing, prioritization, etc.
Ms. Joudeh is our most veteran Kinder teacher. She often takes a leadership role in planning activities & curriculum. Today, her class was working on #5. Students write the number 5, tally it, use ten frames, draw pictures, identify the number by circling it, & so much more!
