Taking time at the beginning of the day to develop positive relationships and to share their learning. Just look at how excited these students are about sharing their stories, math projects and reading. ☑️✍️📖🔢

Scientists have recently determined that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain—unless it is done with play, in which case, it takes between 10 and 20 repetitions! ~ Dr. Karyn Purvis

Vocabulary Building Activity: Our Cloud of Words is getting bigger each week! 🗯 We are sharing words from the books we read that are special to us. We are learning how to truly understand these words through reading, writing, speaking and listening new words. ☑️

Building mathematical thinking, making connections, problem solving Viscount Montgomery. How many smaller triangles with known areas can fit inside a larger triangle to calculate the total area of the larger triangle? Can you use the other shapes to find the area? I ❤️ Math Talk.

Which one doesn’t belong? We were busy finding the mistakes and sorting 2D shapes into correct families. ☑️👍

Struggling in an area outside your comfort zone doesn't crush confidence. It motivates excellence. Baseball data: after pitchers had unsuccessful at-bats, they were more likely to throw strikes & get the next hitter out. Failing beyond your expertise can fuel success within it.

Highlights of the 22/23 school year: Grade 3/4 STEM inquiry into process and problem solving of the stable structures. Amazing things happen when we plan how to bring the ideas and designs to life.

Highlights of the 22/23 school year: Grade 3/4 Procedural writing: We read The Dot and Duck! Rabbit! We started from the dot, draw pictures, then wrote step-by-step instructions. The readers followed a procedure to draw the similar picture. We compared results and wrote comments.

Highlights of the 22/23 school year, Grade 3/4 GIRLS IN STEAM: This school year many of my female students took a leadership role in sharing their team-work building products, as well as their own individual science STEM projects. They inspired the others to get engaged in STEM.

Congratulations Alex 👏 Amazing! We are so proud of you! 👍
