Using evidence from the text to determine the lesson or moral in the story. Ss collaborated and used a graphic organizer to show their thinking. #EESLearnAndLead

Ss sequenced events from a nonfiction text using timelines. Ss used a compare/contrast graphic organizer to identify how events in a text are linked. #EESLearnandLead

[Kaitlin Baird @kbairdees]

Ss ❤️ using @PearDeck during math! Ss are able to be interactive with the lesson and explain their thinking. #EESLearnandLead

[Kaitlin Baird @kbairdees]

Ss used QR codes to identify and name 2d and 3D shapes. #EESLearnandLead

[Kaitlin Baird @kbairdees]

@kcollazo @Seesaw The launchers were built with cut pool noodles, a balloon and duct tape. Super easy!

[Kaitlin Baird @kbairdees]

Ss used launchers to determine the amount of force needed to make an object move. Ss made a prediction on their graphic organizer. Ss recorded the experiment on @Seesaw and used the video to write about what happened on their graphic organizer. #EESLearnAndLead

[Kaitlin Baird @kbairdees]

Ss designed marble ramps for our force and motion unit. Ss recorded a video of their marble going down the ramp using @Seesaw. Ss were able to watch each other's videos to see how each ramp design made the marbles move in different ways. #EESLearnAndLead

@PearDeck is a great way to get immediate formative assessment data during a mini lesson! #EESLearnandLead

[Kaitlin Baird @kbairdees]

Ss learned about urban, suburban and rural communities. Ss wrote an opinion about the type of community they would like to live in using their graphic organizers from the unit. Ss built their community using @LEGOs and uploaded a picture and recorded their opinion using @Seesaw.

[Kaitlin Baird @kbairdees]

Ss created a question, surveyed their peers, created a graph and wrote about their data. Ss then created a question for their peers about their graph. Ss took a picture of their graph and uploaded on @Seesaw. Ss answered the questions in the comments. #EESLearnAndLead #mathfun

Ss loved having Ms. Kleinbrahm come read to our class yesterday! We can't wait for more parent readers in the weeks to come. #EESLearnAndLead #firstgrade
