First Week Back
It made my heart so happy to see my Bronco friends again and meet new ones! We read aloud ebooks and learned how to check out ebooks on the Sora app located in the Library Resources folder on Launchpad. There were 445 Sora ebook checkouts! I'm excited about all the reading going on at home. Keep on reading Broncos!
Blinded Me With Science!
To support the classroom curriculum in grades K-5 in the second week of school we focused on how to think like a scientist. Students learned how to think like a scientist by creating a Sketchnote about their hand and formulating their own questions they had about it. Sketchnoting is a form of note-taking, it involves bringing more visuals into the process compared to typical note-taking, hence the “sketch” part. Hands down, it was a great and fun way to inspire thinking!
