5th graders in Ms. Rodriguez’s class use tile circles to compare fractions with different denominators. Great hands-on review of Covid learning. #theGarinWay#weareBUSD
I just observed a phenomenal 6th grade Socratic Seminar in Mrs. Baldwin’s classroom. Students were engaged, utilizing their tools, and having a powerful collaborative conversation where they were building meaning through collective student learning. #bristowrocks
5th graders in Mrs. Steele's class at Mary Casey Black are exploring such theories on the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony. They are using evidence to support which theory is most likely.
Thumbs up all around was the verdict for the student created, led and solved Escape Room reviewing adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers. “Let’s do this again!” #TheGarinWay#WeAreBUSD
In honor of World Read Aloud Day, we listened to a female astronaut read one of my favorite books “Rosie Revere, Engineer.” Great messages about women in space, growth mindset, and the value of making mistakes. #theGarinWay#WeareBUSD
Check out this AMAZING anti-tobacco poster made by one of my 8th grade students! I’m completely blown away not only by her talent but also by the amount of time and effort she put into this! #health#healthed#middleschool#healthteacher @CoCoTUPE #nosmoking#TUPE
Partner sharing how to solve word problems using models of mixed numbers. Deepening number sense, increasing math discourse and practicing collaboration. #TheGarinWay
"I respectfully disagree" heard repeatedly as 6th graders debate the pros and cons of school uniforms in Mrs. Kemper's class at Edna Hill Middle School
Busy morning of deductive learning in K classes today. Students used context clues to predict the weather, learned about world farms, and practiced reading words by blending and segmenting letters.
