More to Come...

"Playing" in our Strategies Lab

Playing alone, with a partner, or in a small group - honing problem solving skills through games.

Wading into the Ocean

Building models of the ocean floor.

Layers of the Earth (through cake)

A multilayer cake was cored for samples to measure and study the various layers of the cake. Many, many thanks to the science fellow working with our school (in the pi shirt).

Pentominoes

Reading The Wright 3 by Blue Balliett led to much fun with pentominoes.

Teaching in an Election Year (Wordless Wednesday)

(I can take no credit for these. They were created and are maintained by the phenomenal first-year teacher across the hall.)

This may not look awful to an outsider, but it is painful to me. All of our hard work and learning throughout the year has to be covered up for the state test.

Weekly Visit to the Library

Wordless Wednesday

Traffic Jam - attempting to move students from one end to the other. They can only jump past one person at a time and can only move the direction they are facing. Very challenging!

Marshmallow Madness

For details of the story, check this out.
