So grateful for the opportunity to enjoy watching and working with students go through the engineering design process these past couple of weeks #changeisgood
I think it’s great that all of these companies r offering their services for free, BUT if an elementary school child has never used the tool b4 how do u expect them to get it right w/o your help?! Remember your WHY! Be INTENTIONAL about what u assign for remote learning!!
If you’re spending 100% of your planning time planning minilessons, you’re not ready for workshop. MLs are only 10% of the workshop. Spend your time planning how to differentiate. #tcrwp
Today is the birthday of John Dewey, an early proponent of experiential learning. Rejecting the idea of education as the rote memorization of facts, he argued that learning is interactive and that students should have a role in constructing their own learning.
Using a new format for the class to brainstorm what teachers & students do during sections of reading working. We're excited to see what Ss come up with! #tigerslearn#d100inspires
This month during our argumentative reading & writing units, 5KW Huskies are deciding whether we should keep or remove the Salt Creek Dam at Graue Mill. Today we got to hear both sides on our #FieldTrip to @dupageforest#FullersburgWoods and @GraueMillMuseum 🌲📝
First stop at #FullersburgWoods@dupageforest for some stream monitoring with our Naturalists. Water quality was “fair” to “poor” so we wonder if removing the dam would help the macroinvertebrates that we got to see today.
Our next stop was @GraueMillMuseum where we were able to appreciate the history of the grist mill & Underground Railroad station. Should we still remove the dam knowing that it’s such an important part of history?
It is always awesome when students want to share with their classmates things that they have been learning on their own. Students @kw5huskies learned a lot from one of their classmates today!
