My students are digging into Colonial Voices to determine the political stance of the colonist and to infer why they may have taken that stance. I love the conversations I am hearing!!❤️❤️#fourthgradefun. #@GreatMindsEd #wit&wisdom

Last week, the students participated in a math workshop. They rotated in small groups through a learning session with the teacher, a learning game in their devices, and practice with the US Standard Algorithm for addition. #MightyBears #fourthgradefun #mathisfun
