West Edgecombe Middle School
What are other classes like in the Micro School?
We love highlighting our students' Spokes projects because they're a different way to approach learning. But that doesn't mean our students don't get to enjoy Core subjects like Math, Science, Social Studies, and English as well.
Take a look at some of the pictures we've taken of classroom learning during Core subjects in Ms. Concepcion's English class, Mrs. Bradley's Math class, and Mr. Hughes' Social Studies class.
In Mrs. Bradley's class...
In order to help the students grasp the concept of decimals and time, she split the group up into walkers and timers. She had one student walk across the room both slowly and then quickly, while the other student measured their times. They then compared the two numbers, and learned how to say the decimals in "Math Talk".
In Ms. Concepcion's class...
She is seeking to help expand the students' vocabulary and word usage both in speech and in reading. That way they'll be more complex readers, complex thinkers, and complex speakers. Rumor has it that the next curveball she'll throw into the mix are suffixes, prefixes, and root words that will help students build their own words and more easily define unknown words they come across in their reading.
In Mr. Hughes' class...
