As an adult, I’ve lived in a number of places, but as far as I’m concerned, I’ve only ever had one real home. My home is my family. My home is Barack. #TheLightWeCarry

This week, Second-grade Scientists studied how a material’s shape can change but the amount of material will stay the same! Using clay was a perfect way to watch them experiment while they let their creativity fly! #room2whatsnew #cridgepride @TeachTCI

This afternoon was a School Improvement Day in CRSD 127.5. There were a lot of good sessions going on but I appreciated sitting down with the District Math Leadership Team and our partners from UIC CASPIR as they continue to discuss best practices in Math. #cridgepride

Room 2 engineers used the engineering process to design a bridge! We tested the properties of materials, planned a design, created models, and tested them out! It was amazing to see how they redesign as needed. #room2whatsnew @TeachTCI
