Ms. Ripple’s classes used a short story “Eleven” to complete hexagonal thinking. Each student picked 3 important parts of the story and had to justify their thinking to connect it with other students’ thinking. Deep connections were made and students saw that people can have different perspectives of the same story.
Our first house Pep Rally of the year was amazing!! From undercover admin to pompoms and sunglasses, our Wolf Pack showed up today! So much school spirit! What a great was to end week one!
He's been dreaming of having one of these for years, and a student finally got him one! Congrats Mr. Johnson! Dreams really do come true! 🙌🏻
🌊🏝️ Day 3 on Survivor Island 🏝️🌊

Students in Dr. Gray's math classes practiced working in groups to communicate their thinking to one another. The student that held the marker does not write their own thinking. It's not a race nor about the correct answer (although they usually end up there with peer checks), it's about thinking through a problem and celebrating when they get it wrong because learning is taking place. #whiteboardsessions

The chorus room has been filled with fun this week! Classes played “Solfege Keepy-Uppy” by singing a note in our scale each time the balloon was hit.
7th grade advanced choir students were challenged to keep a steady tempo while chanting and moving with a partner through different meter changes.

Today Mrs. Fisher's classes played Class Rules Charades. While practicing their group rules and procedures, groups collaborated to write and perform a skit for one of the rules. The rest of the class had to guess which rule and whether it was a positive or negative example.
Our 6th grade math classes, dove into a fun and engaging activity called “Number Trouble”. This game not only sparked their enthusiasm for numbers, but also provided an excellent opportunity to enhance their collaboration skills!
