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.

I love the shapes unit! So many opportunities for hands on and collaborative activities.

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!

We are already working hard to build routines and provide choice in our workshop block. ✨📚

I love how our new iready curriculum encourages students to use different tools and strategies to solve a problem! Katie Bittle

A gloomy Monday won’t stop these mathematicians from jumping into their math playlist!

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

Getting creative with going 1:5 with chromebooks. Tried social studies rotations today to apply learning about budgets and opportunity costs 💰

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! 🤝

Loving science so far! Play doh, magazines, books, matching, and online choices to review landforms and bodies of water. 🌋⛰️🌊

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! 🇺🇸

Loving getting messy in science; seed observations and planting this week! 🌱🌼

MPS Art Show tonight! Amazing work by our MPS artists and art teachers!

We got right to work on our fractions choice board today. Math games, geoboards, and retrieval while one group worked on a playposit and iready 💻

Students are loving their animal classification playlist! 🐄🦈🦜🐍🐞
