Had the opportunity to see ⁦Melanie Nebel⁩ put CGI into practice! Powerful connections made as Ss used a variety of strategies, built upon each other, and came to new understandings! ⁦Tita Cordero-Bautista⁩ ⁦Vista Grande Cajon Valley⁩ ⁦CajonValleyUSD⁩

Today we traveled back in time and got to see 32 presentations from some pretty interesting colonial figures like Thomas Jefferson and Martha Washington! 👵🎩🧓🏚️🇺🇸 Ss worked hard on their presentation literacy skills and absolutely made themselves so proud 👏🏽

Met my favorite author, #kristinhannah 🤩😍 Lifelong reader 📚💙

One of our very own parents came and taught our 5th graders about aquaponics. The Ss had so many questions for our expert… maybe one day they’ll grow up to be an aquaponic gardener 🪴👩‍🌾🧑‍🌾 World of Work™️.

Ss became geologists and learned about the rock cycle through our hands on Starburst Rock Cycle Lab. We were able to connect our learning to this natural process about how rocks are formed, broken down, and transformed into different types of rocks over time. It “ROCKED”!🪨

Last week we got to watch two of our classmates present their TEDED TALKS. Seeley shared her passion for cheer and Dexter talked about “the best day of his life… the day he was adopted”. There may have been some misty eyes in the audience! 🥺👏🏽 Talk about confidence! 👏🏽

We read, researched, and learned about Flora the Elephant. We virtually visited the Elephant Sanctuary (where F retired from circus) in TN. We learned how elephants are able to live in a place much like their very own natural habitat! Maybe a Ss will be a vet or care staff 🐘🌲

Ss completed their first informational writing piece all about Poinsettias. They are truly experts and know so very much about this beautiful “holiday plant.” They also created a replica of the flower using paper bags. Talk about some art skills! 🌺

These students are something else. 40 books read in 2 months ✅📚, a hoop shoot contestant 🏀, and last but not least… a school winner of the Beable Education contest 👏🏽. I am one proud teacher!

STEM challenge… how tall can you make a tower using only 100 toothpicks and 100 cranberries? We had a tie of 11.5 inches. We have some future engineers in our midsts!
