Raider News
This week I had the opportunity to visit several classrooms and saw students continuously engaged! From Google Classroom to hands-on science labs, they were learning by doing. Check out the pictures below from some of my visits.
Mr. Stephenson's class using Google classroom
Students analyzed documents using Google classroom. They provided text evidence while using tools to highlight and underline important information.
Mrs. Lindsey's class using Google classroom
Students were taking a test on Google classroom. Some students used the tablet mode while others used their device as a laptop.
Microscope Lab
Mr. Belovsky's class examined specimen under a microscope and identified patterns and differences.
