Hosted a colonial open house where students showcased their Master Colonial Communities. Can’t wait to model for teachers how to create projects like these @TXCSS with @MsLHeath

Students collaborated to practice CER, and then utilized peer review to self assess and learn from one another. #strugglingislearning #firstattempt @MsEmilyEElliott @KISDSocStudies @THS_Mustangs

Students practiced their note taking and transfer skills with the Scribe Messenger strategy. It will take some practice but they all worked hard and we’re willing to try. #readingtoremember #skillsbeyondcontent @MsEmilyEElliott @KISDSocStudies
