I had the wonderful opportunity to join the 7th grade for math today with a hands on lesson about proportional reasoning. There was a problem directly related to making popcorn at a movie theatre so Mrs. Russell created a real world learning experience for the students to discuss ingredient proportions and serving proportions related to the problem!
Students in grades 3 and 4 paraded through the multi-purpose room in from of the rest of the school and a group of parents and relatives last Friday. After the parade they stood by their displays and talked to all the visitors about what they learned during their integrated China unit of study. The students did an amazing job not only creating their costumes and displays but being able to then present what they learned to their audiences.
Get out your Hawaiian or tropical clothes, grass skirts and flamingo shirts because this Friday is a Luau themed day before we go on break! The afternoon will be full of tropical themed activities for the students because they earned yet another PBIS celebration for being safe, responsible and respectful. Shorts are permitted in the school building, but please make sure you have your winter gear when we go outside because while it may be a tropical mindset, we will still have lots of snow and cold temperatures outside!!!
