Hey, come up here and teach our mashup math today! Sure, Mr. O! He did a fantastic job asking questions and leading our learning today. He did change his thinking from just shout out your answer to raise your hand! Way to go! #buildingleaders #mckinleystrong #studentsamazeme

4A had the joy of working with Ms. Wick from MNSU during her block 3 experience. She will join Mr. O for the fall semester next school year to finish her student teaching! She was a great addition to our classroom!

85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 haven’t been created yet (institute for the Future 2017) Creative thinking is one critical competency “soft skills” that will be needed in the work force. How can teachers help? Get students thinking! #mckinleystrong
