One of our class Celebration Leaders designed this amazing poster to hang in our room to decorate for Thanksgiving. It is so fun to see the creativity and initiative of student leaders! #GoGullLake #GLCSRyan

Students were excited to choose a Who Would Win? book to read and then compare and contrast the two animals. Afterwards, they wrote paragraphs using the compare-contrast text structure and had the opportunity to share them with the class. #GLCSRyan #GoGullLake

We had a great field trip to the Air Zoo! Students took a Storm Chasers class to learn about tornadoes and hurricanes, which connected nicely to our study of natural disasters in Science. Afterwards, they had time to explore the exhibits and rides. #GLCSRyan #GoGullLake

The Tutor Leadership Group engaged in writing and speaking with purpose as they reflected on their peer tutoring experience so far. They were also very excited to get their new tutoring schedules and continue working with Ryan students! #GoGullLake #GLCSRyan

Teams worked together to read, write and speak with purpose to practice determining a story’s theme. After teams shared their story’s theme, every student responded with a number to agree, add or adjust, leading to great discussion and higher level thinking. #GLCSRyan #GoGullLake

Multiplication Swap was a big hit for practicing multi-digit multiplication! Partner up, solve, check, swap numbers, find a new partner, repeat! Math learners were engaged and having fun! #GLCSRyan #GoGullLake

Adding motions while reciting the Preamble enhanced students’ understanding of this important section of the Constitution! #GLCSRyan

Students loved solving multi-digit multiplication problems and self-checking their products with QR codes. They were so engaged in the activity and want to do it again. #GLCSRyan

We had so much fun in Lansing at the State Capitol! Some highlights included laying on the glass floor and being introduced in the House and Senate. Lots of great connections to our Government unit were made! #GLCSRyan

All teams received the same materials, yet each creation was so unique. Great connection to paradigms! #GLCSRyan
