Hey @brainpop. Today, I reserved space in the @BRMSbulldogs library to do an Economics unit station rotation activity using the online resources (coding, make a map, challenge activities, etc). Students loved the technology component of BrainPop. Today was a perfect day! 😃

@LCPSOfficial: Time for another Computer Science Teacher Spotlight! This week, we highlight @MsHDay from @JML_MS_Official. To help her Ss review their unit on WWII, she incorporated the @iRobotEducation and had Ss work in groups to code their Root to find the answers.

We’ve had a lot of fun learning about the American Revolution in both reading and VA Studies. These kids got creative to “summarize” and celebrate what they’ve learned! @SSGSlcps

@JLSMS_Official 7th Gr History collaboration with @morvenpark introducing Ss to WWI propaganda by analyzing primary source material, identifying symbolism, and developing persuasive techniques. Great learning experience! @HerrinHistory @MustangHistory7 @ldacompton @SSGSlcps
