Thrively
The students completed an online survey about their interests using the website Thrively. Using the website, students can learn more about themselves, their strengths, and their interests.
Sharing Learning About Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome
Students shared out their learning that they did about Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome.
Significant 72
Snap, Clap, Twist: Students alternated counting to three in pairs but replaced one with a snap, two with a clap, and three with a twist. A fun little brain teaser to break up the day.
Pot of Gold Math
Students enjoyed time with their 2nd grade buddy with a bean bag "Pot of Gold" Math game. 6th graders asked students questions and the 2nd grader tossed the bean bag to the appropriate number. Fun was had by all.
FlipGrid Reflection
It was a pleasure seeing everyone at parent/teacher conferences and it was even more fun having students create a FlipGrid reflecting about what they were proud of, goals they have for the rest of the year, and ways we can continue to help them be successful.
3D printing
Mr. Lafferty has been opening our eyes to 3D printing and how to make prototypes of our Rain Barrels that we are creating for our Weather and Climate Challenge. Students had a chance to get creative when it came to designing a new rain barrel for dual purpose. You will be amazed at their creations!
