Why do tweens spend a colossal amount of time in their rooms? You used to be close, but these days it probably feels like you’re being ghosted by your kid. Don’t worry, advises @michelleicard. It’s not you. It’s them. kqed.org/mindshift/5742…

Practicing making inferences with an “Inference Carousel” around the room. Using our background knowledge to help us!

We’re reading lots of books…and loving them! #40bookchallenge Ogden Avenue School

Thankful for our class novel for bringing us together. Finishing #chasingvermeer before Thanksgiving Break. Spotted: a student’s Ecosystem cactus project, and a photo-bomber.

So thankful for this bunch! Ogden Avenue School

One of our favorite greetings…snowball! Students pick up a “snowball” with another student’s name, greet that student by name, and share a favorite holiday tradition.

We loved creating our own interpretation of Georgia O’Keeffe’s work today during Art Enrichment! So many artists in room 306!

We had a great day at the Science Center! We dissected a sheep’s eye, made telescopes that helped us read upside down and, of course, said hi to our animal friends. Ogden Avenue School

Filming and editing our 13 Colonies’ Commercials, trying to convince people to join their region of the New World!
