Guess who loved EOG prep yesterday? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Ms. Collin’s 5th graders! These mathematicians used Plickers to review and it was a hit! Students loved watching their cards get scanned, seeing the live percentage correct, and checking which answer choices classmates picked. The instant feedback turned review into a game and sparked great conversations about strategies. 🎯📊✨

During small group, first graders from Ms. Brunjes' first grade class practiced building complete sentences to strengthen their reading and writing skills. Students use decodable words, sight words, and vocabulary from the text to create and expand sentences. Then they practiced reading sentences aloud, stretching them with describing words, and checking for capital letters and ending punctuation.

Ms. Polster is teaching 2nd grade all about the xylophone. 🎶 They know that the metal instrument is called the glockenspiel. And the bigger the xylophone, the lower the sound. The smaller the xylophone, the higher the sound. 🔗 https://youtu.be/NoRx9rN8TjM

This week in Wit & Wisdom, Ms. Gruber's 3rd grade class read The Keeping Quilt and explored the beautiful traditions in the story. Students learned about challah bread, babushkas, and wedding huppas-and even got to taste challah and see a real babushka up close! They also created their own classroom quilt with pieces that represent their special class community. Such a meaningful and memorable week of learning!
