Tried something new today and I. LOVE. IT 🤩👏🏼 We used Google Jamboard to collect initial thoughts of the title/cover of our new Novel Study. A huge shoutout to caffeinateandeducate on Instagram for this idea and template organization. Social media is some of the best PD 😉

A huge THANK YOU to @pittstate ‘s Construction Program for making these kiddos day! Students had to write a letter to a college they were interested in and they were ecstatic when they received their own hard hats + other goodies in return! Proud alumna right here ❤️💛

Science RULES 🤪👩🏽‍🔬 Today we learned about density by layering some mystery solutions!

I look forward to my Opinion unit EVERY year because of this activity! Students participated in a “Blind Taste Test” to decide if they are Team Sweet candy or Team Sour candy!🍬🍫 They will then write an opinion essay based off their choice 😋📝

We have been growing MOLD for the last 12 days in Science! Every group had the same food, but had to choose one variable for their Mold Terrarium. Guess what variable a team chose that slowed down the mold process significantly?! GERM-X! So convenient for this time 😉👀👩🏽‍🔬

RTI can be FUN! We played Fraction Multiplication Bingo today to work on our multiplication skills! #wcpassport #swcpassport

[Mrs. Alex Grimaldi @mrsgrimaldi3]

2 activities happening at the same time? YES please 🤩Group A was working on stations around the room to create sentences and correctly place the commas(macaroni noodles). While group B was working on comma task cards. Then, we flip flopped activities! ✏️ #wcpassport #swcpassport
