The third graders in Ms. Heena’s class took a deep dive into a math task to determine how many jolly ranchers they could share with 5 friends. So many different ways to show their thinking! @LynbrookES_FCPS
Our teams put on their structural engineering hats today to build the highest tower. Kindergarten team defended their title and won back the spirit stick! @LynbrookES_FCPS
When we find a cool manipulative hidden deep the math closet, we play with it! These first and second graders created some awesome 2D and 3D objects @LynbrookES_FCPS
Making and testing our predictions to try to light up the bulb. We noticed there’s so many different ways we created a closed circuit with just three materials! @LynbrookES_FCPS
Mrs. Kurtz’s class was eager to share all the fractions they noticed during today’s read aloud. They saw 1/4, 2 halves, and a whole! What are some other fractions you see? @LynbrookES_FCPS

So much math chatter today playing quick draw! A student re-named the 5 card pile the “panic pile” because he noticed he and his partner kept pulling cards from there when they were stuck and in a panic to keep playing!
Breakfast, morning meeting, and an Etsi mystery this morning! This mathematician revised his thinking and changed his estimate to 22 because “it’s still close to my first guess of 23 and it’s even” @LynbrookES_FCPS
Feeling excited and inspired for the 2021-2022 school year after today’s Leadership Kickoff! Still digging gold coins out of my pockets #R3BetterThanEver
These writers used dialogue, NF text features, and pictures to support their stories. It was so fun to participate in these writers shares over the past few days! Way to go authors from @NanciKurtz1 @TeachKratz Mrs. McCuller’s and Mrs. Gigliotti’s classes! @LynbrookES_FCPS
Our 1st and multi-age teams took on partner games today! Some takeaways were that we could use our social distancing strip as a sentence frame and that Treasure Hunt takes a lot of work to play but it is #worthit ! @LynbrookES_FCPS
Kindergarten mathematicians used the bead rack to show and explore different combinations of 5! One student shared that they knew 3 were hiding “because 2+3=5”
❤️”The past yr has not been easy on anyone, & to continually point out what our kids are not learning is to diminish everything they have learned. Maybe they are not on a certain reading level ...or math problem - yet - but they are doing the best they can”https://t.co/NqK37OZQdb
