Classroom Sneak Peak 10.20.16

Check out what's happening in some of our elementary and middle schools...

Students work toward their "goals," identifying their personal fitness focus for the year.

6th graders determine how salt impacts the consistency of gummy bears...and what that tells them about their own bodies.

Conjugating verbs in Spanish has never been so fun...a little competition requires students to build their automaticity.

Working as a team, each student must still demonstrate their knowledge of the French cardinal numbers using Quizlet.


Ground rules...literally...students can't forget their expectations when they step on them everyday.

Visual reminders reinforce character education throughout the school.

Students understand the purpose behind their collaborative work and how to do it well.
Math talk in action!

Sharing ideas and asking questions about solving problems.

Students support one another, having rich math conversations, but are still accountable for practicing independently.

The power of small group instruction:  everyone's engaged and working at the level appropriate for them.

Sharing topics for how-to papers ensures everyone has a topic and gets them thinking about what they will write.

October is Caine's Arcade Global Cardboard Challenge where students engineer these recycled materials into something with a purpose.  These gentlemen were proud of their Eiffel Tower game (they even let me play).
