I caught the 6th graders in Mrs. Bergeson's class actively engaged with a math game last week!Concepts such as multiplication and area were reviewed in the game. Using dice to create multiplication facts, students had to strategize to figure out how to beat their partner by filling up the game board first.
As I left the 6th graders and peeked into the hallway, I noticed these 5th graders sitting down reading. As they were waiting for others to finish in the restroom, they picked up some "Weekly Readers" and started reading! What a great way to spend a few extra minutes!
Then I traveled down to the 4th grade rooms and caught Mrs. Baumgart doing a science experiment with Ms. Turner's kids. Learning about static electricity really came to life as Mrs. Baumgart demonstrated how a balloon, charged with static electricity, and water repel from each other. After the demonstration, students got busy reading and completing a graphic organizer over the chapter.
