Just a Typical "Core" Day

Check out the pictures below to get a peak into 6th, 7th, and 8th grade core classrooms today, April 6, 2015.


Flyertimes made MAP posters

Making science real:  spinning the globe while it circles the sun (aka, the students)

Research using multiple types of devices:  laptops, tablets, cell phones, and books

How fast can you go 30 yards?  Students chose their method, including walking on their hands.


Preparing for a gallery walk on ecosystems:  each group completes a part fo the whole.

Using manipulatives to study samples in science


Not your typical timelines...


eValuate Reflection

Getting students comfortable with upcoming MAP testing tools


Collaborative work:  applying knowledge of Lewis and Clark in a game

Engaging kids in why we learn

A good tool for "no name" work

Students become "Seedfolks," making their own plants to relate to the text

Science notebooking:  using the scientific process to make conclusions

Getting students to model problem-solving

Pi as decor?  Yep, those links are the "infinity" of pi.

Evaluation skills at work:  matching statements to graphs
