3rd year in a row doing author interviews using #CKLA curriculum. Students were so excited to write & publish their own personal narratives after reading narratives. We ended w/ a STEM project where students designed assistive tech after studying the Iron Lung in the unit.

Did you know that it only takes 2 weeks for plastics to enter the ocean from Cookeville? 3rd & 4th Graders in LEAPS learned about how to keep our community & earth clean. We heard a presentation from Ms. Lisa, then put our knowledge to work by cleaning up our campus!

Incorporating coding and Bee-bots into our math review today kept students motivated and engaged! Not only did they want to win in Mario Kart Math, but they also practiced multiple multiplication skills with fluency and accuracy. Every game question was purposeful & rigorous.

@Sandy4STEAM @GMASteam Love this!

Studying the poem, “Wishes”, by Ault Norman in CKLA. Adding movement & rhythm always increases engagement & excitement to learn poetry. After this, students were eager to make inferences, answer questions about the poem, and even make career connections about their own wishes.

Bringing #CKLA learning to life w/ station rotations in the Middle Ages. Every 9 weeks, we have a Positive Behavior Dojo Celebration & this is what we did for ours! They rotated from Middle Ages games, crafts, Reader’s Theater, & food. Thanks PTO for our hall transformation!

It’s an honor to be able to read with these students in LEAPS! We had a great time and the students were able to log their minutes for their classroom reading logs!

Ending #CKLA Unit 1 Personal Narratives w/ author interviews. Students observed an author interview of Dav Pilkey over Chicken Minis, then used A.P. 15.2 to interview each other on their 4 paragraph narratives that they wrote over the last few weeks. They’re proud of their work!

Celebrating over 4,800 collective minutes that these 4th Graders read in the month of August! For every 400 minutes (20 minutes a weekday) students read, they earn a snow cone on the last Friday of the month!

What do similes have to do w/ spaghetti? We’re learning to identify & explain similes. In #CKLA today, the narrator stated that when she had polio, her legs were like cooked spaghetti. We dove into this lesson & into a pot of pasta to explore the meaning! @PSES_Pups @Amplify

Neuroscientists provide a glimpse into what happens in a student’s brain when they're given a break (hint: it’s not downtime). 💡 🧠

When you read, “How to Eat a Guava,” in #CKLA to learn about sensory details, why not bring the experience to life? 4th Graders tasted guava, juice, & bars, while learning how to put sensory details into their narratives. @PSES_Pups @Amplify
