February Facts
- Richard Cadbury invented the first Valentines Day candy box in the late 1800s.
Black History Month- February is Black History Month. The students have explored several individuals who have impacted this world. Now it is time to research and find out the how/why these people left their stamp on the world. After the biography is written, it will be time to get messy!!!! Stay tuned for the next step of our project!
As we research, we use this safe site: SafeSearchKids
State Assessments- Yes, we will be taking State Assessments. We will take the writing part of the assessments as well as the math performance part before Spring Break. The math and ELA portions will wait until the end of March!
Just a Few of Our Favorite Things
Redesigning Schools
Good question! Basically, educators are constantly striving to find what is best for all students. The world is constantly changing, jobs that we are preparing students for now likely haven't even been invented yet. How do we prepare students for this ever-changing world? Is the classroom setting that was set up in the 1800's appropriate for students in this new technology world? What is the best way to prepare students to be successful?? By preparing students to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, collaborators, innovators in this ever changing technology driven world, we can send them out in the world best prepared to flourish and thrive.
