Another fabulous activity based on the Habits of Mind. This was based on creativity and the 3 language groups of the Virginian Indians. Ss created their own language and then wrote their names using their language. @MsFranz_ATS @APSsocstudies

@K_Walleck Great idea!!

[Ms. Franz @MsFranz_ATS]

4th Grade Mathmaticans practiced their awesome #mathcommunication skills with Project M3 10th Street Pet Sanctuary Think Deeply questions. I was so impressed at their ability to explain and elaborate their thinking! @APS_ATS @APSGifted

@CardinalRTG @APSGifted @APSGifted_Kat @APSMath @APSCardinalElem Ah! I just did this today with 5th grade Ss…but the old school way. I should have gotten in touch with you sooner because I spent way too much time making those cards! At least the kiddos really liked it 😝

[Katherine Partington @APSGifted_Kat]

Loved meeting with our RTGs this past Thursday! Amazing work in developing resources, professional learning, coaching strategies, and communication strategies! @APSGifted

@MyRedCooper @APSscience Right as I was leaving today and you mentioned to the class that it was time to transition into science and everyone cheered…I now know why! Haha…these are amazing!

One more for your grade 3 & up kids, and high-flying 1st & 2nd graders! All 135 of our lessons at every grade level include a "brain-building" activity that reinforces key skills while challenging kids (and teachers, too!) to think creatively and independently. Have a great day!

[Ms. Franz @MsFranz_ATS]

4th grade Ss begin their decimal unit with M3: 10th Street Pet Sanctuary! Great way to show pictorial representations of decimal numbers to the thousandths! @APSGifted @APS_ATS #mathematicians #mathtalk #keeganstrategies #mathworkshop

Kindergartners read “The Turn-Around, Upside-Down Alphabet Book” and practiced their visualization skills by imagining their letter of the week “K” into superhero’s, balance scale, seesaws, rainbows and much more! What would you visualize? @APSGifted @APS_ATS #CCT

[Ms. Franz @MsFranz_ATS]

Third Graders practicing written,standard,and expanded form up to the hundred thousands by playing M3 How Big is Big: Make It, Say It!! @APSGifted @APS_ATS #mathworkshop #unittworeview #mathematicians

[Nicole Davies @ATS_Davies]

We enjoyed the story Her Fearless Run today and learned about perseverance! Thanks, @CaitFranz for the fun read aloud! We can’t wait to talk more about persevering this school year! We can do hard things!!

[Ms. Franz @MsFranz_ATS]

How far would you travel to win the “Amazing Race”? Our ATS stars are willing to travel “Miles and Miles” to see how far they can travel. #M3HowBigIsBig #challengecards #thinkdeeply @APSGifted @APS_ATS

[Ms. Franz @MsFranz_ATS]

Ss excited to dive into our first Navigator Unit of the school year. After reading and responding to Jumanji these creative learners used clues from the story to develop and create a real life game board! #criticalandcreativethinking #RAFT #WMnavigatorunits @APS_ATS @APSGifted

[Ms. Franz @MsFranz_ATS]

ATS Stars dive into the week by completing @nearpod Project M3 How Big is Big and MoLi Stone in math! We loved using the collaboration board and our base 10 blocks at home! @APSGifted @APSMath @APS_ATS @MyRedCooper @ATS_4thGrade
