Can you use no more than 4 colors to color these maps? No colors may touch! Lots of critical thinking, collaboration and perseverance to make it work in #Investigators today! #GatorsareAmazing #WeareCrane #GiftedEd #CreativeThinking

Being a teacher is really, really hard right now. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

When you’re sixth grade Gowan Science come in begging to do a #mindfulness activity... Friday made! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 So proud of their maturity and understanding the value of nurturing our body and mind each day with Smiling Mind and Smashing Ideas ! #GatorsareAmazing #selfcare #Friyay

We’ve been learning about different types of plants and their different needs. To wrap up, we sketched and used watercolors to create our own cacti and write stories or explain how to care for them. Lots of fun science and art terms being used by Ss and such pride in their work!

Ever tried a #tanagram ? How about a stomachion? Gowan Science have! They’re great for covering concepts like reflection, rotation & working on approaching a problem from multiple perspectives! A great reminder that failure can lead to success! #WeAreCrane #CriticalThinking #GTE

Its starting to look a lot like the beginning of the school year! Can’t wait for our Gators to be back on campus Wednesday! #gatorsareamazing #wearecrane #TeacherLife

We created text self portraits! We challenged our brains to draw a non-symmetrical object (our faces) and then used words to describe us to create some fabulous art! Proud of these Gowan Science for being brave, trying something new and trusting the process! #gatorsareamazing

How do you help kids practice communication, teamwork and problem solving skills all at the same time? Blindfolded puzzles! Jamie Haines came through with this idea and rocked our worlds! Love a lesson that gets them learning through play! #gatorsareareamazing #wearecrane

Have you ever heard of the Fold and Cut Theorem? Yes! It’s a real thing! Essentially, any figure consisting of many straight lines can be made in one cut if folded correctly . Check out our Gowan Science testing it in class today! #gatorsareamazing #handsonlearning #wearecrane
