What's Been Going On?
Great Things Going on at Jefferson!
The LRC
There have been so many times I have been in the LRC with students abd they have been so very excited to be there and working with their collaborative groups. They enjoy having a space where they can talk and find books as well as other information. Check out a few pics below!
Health & The LRC
8th graders begin their design thinking health unit in the LRC with, of all things, OREOS! Great way to hook the kids to want to learn more!
Interviews
The second part of the beginning of the health unit was interviews. Partners asked each other questions about their health and wellness.
Checking out Artifacts
7th grade social studies students studied artifacts from the Revolutionary War. These "History Trunks" from Cantigny offer kids a different way to look at the war. It was awesome to watch them try the items on!

Rachel would agree, I know, with the premise of this article. It's about Math Practice 3! And it's about argument writing in ELA! I love the idea of cross disciplinary work, and constructing and critiquing the reasoning of others is perfect for that work! Hope you enjoy it!
