3PA brainstormed ideas related to change, identified patterns, and generated their own categories based on their observations. They were then introduced to the generalizations of change and completed a whole class sort. I was extremely impressed! @GombertGators
PA classes celebrated World Kindness Day by writing kind notes to their classmates. We also discussed the importance of spreading kindness wherever we go! @GombertGators
5PA tried out a new Kagan structure called Centerpiece. This was a great way to review the elements of plot development. We amped it up by using the notes to synthesize and create a paragraph. It was great to observe their engagement and synergy! @GombertGators
1TD has been learning about productive struggle. We ended our learning with a STEM task that required students to use popsicle sticks (no hands) to build a pyramid using cups. Theyโre learning that failure does help them to be successful learners! @GombertGators
