Of course you have to SCAMPER your outfit when teaching SCAMPER for GT summer enrichment! Substituted my glasses for my contacts and put a belt to new use as a headband.
I LOVED seeing students via zoom today for an at home version of What’s in the (lunch) box! Looking foreword to seeing 4th and 5th graders tomorrow!! #Borchardtexpertlearners#FISDQUEST
One of my favorite things about Robotics is the critical thinking and problem solving. I love the notes these students made as they were tackling the Meet and Greet robot challenge #borchardtexpertlearners#fisdquest
After reading about the sound collector in The Phantom Tollbooth today, 4th graders learned what a Foley Artist was. Then they tried their hand at recreating a common sound using everyday items. We had crackling fire, thunderstorms, woodpeckers and so much more! #FISDQUEST
2nd graders discovered the 12 pantomime pieces by testing all the ways you can combine 5 cubes. The rules were:
1) they must share a side not a corner
2) no flips or rotations are accepted #FISDQUEST#Borchardtexpertlearners
3rd graders are showing their grit as the 11th Hour is well underway. Each team has three advice tokens they can use per class period to help ensure they are giving it their all!!
2nd graders blew me away with their mind maps this week! They knew so much as a class about the ocean and then showed what they knew about space with a small group. #borchardtexpertscholars#FISDQUEST
Teachers, join me in asking your students what’s new in the classroom and what in the room supports your learning and what gets in the way of it? Do this every TWO WEEKS to make use of the third teacher in the classroom - the environment #fisdlearns#ourfisdstory
