This might look like a big mess, but this is the result of a deep, engaging discussion about nearly a year’s worth of phonics and grammar skills. 😍

After a long week of testing, we spent the morning doing some Which One Doesn’t Belong plus some Steve Wyborney activities like Estimation Clipboard, Esti-Mysteries, and Splat! 5th graders had so much fun and loved discussing their strategies!

Fifth graders put their knowledge of matter to use during Wonder Wednesday. They made predictions and mixed substances to see what dissolves. In a few days we will come back to see which liquid cleaned the pennies! #wwhrt HRT LMC-Sara Aitken

Last week 5th graders participated in “Which One Doesn’t Belong” activities. Today they created their own original WODB posters and had to create a list of possible answers with reasons.

Fifth graders loved spending our morning working through Jo Boaler Big Idea 6 about multiplying fractions. Looking at numbers and fractions visually led to a lot of engaging work and discussions! @bvmathematics

4th graders got off to a strong start with the challenges given to them in Unit 0! Loved hearing the collaborative conversations and the perseverance through the challenges! #4thHRT

My 4th graders LOVED the folding challenge to turn a rectangular piece of paper into other shapes! The conversations they were having were full of engagement and excitement to share! #4thHRT

My favorite quote from yesterday’s math activity: “I know a strategy to win the game! It’s going to allow my partner to win but I want to share it anyway!” #4thHRT
