Our monthly Braille lesson is here! Today students learned how to type on the brailler machines, used Braille legos to make their spelling words, and checked out some brailled children’s books!

Working hard to prepare for the quarter 3 benchmark! The ‘This or That board’ and mini sessions are a nice change of pace from our usual playlists.

Thanks Katie Bittle for sharing this model match from iready! Lots of teamwork, good conversations, and a nice reminder that there are many ways to model our math thinking!

These teachers in training love sharing their thinking on the board in front of the class! So many paths to the same solution. 👏🏼

These Knights have been working so hard all week taking notes for animal research in small groups using a variety of resources: books, epic, pebblego, and Britannia!

Switching from playlists to choice boards in language arts. One group is working on their chromebooks while the rest are working through these offline options. Student choice is so important!

Students earned play money all December. Today they spent their money on materials to build a gingerbread house! Always a fun holiday STEM activity.

Social studies is a wrap for this year! Our culminating project was for students to plan and design a community with physical, human-made, and economic features. These turned out awesome!

For each new Open Court unit, we spend time building our concept and question board. Students cut magazine photos and draw pictures. This one is my favorite so far because families sent in photos of our students helping the community! 🤝

For every new Open court unit, students work together to create our concept and question board. I think they did an awesome job for citizenship! 🇺🇸
