🌊🏝️ Day 3 on Survivor Island 🏝️🌊
Mrs. Landon’s 8th grade science crew 💡🔬 faced the ultimate challenge — escaping the island! Using the remains of their shelters 🛖➡️🛶, they engineered creative floatation devices to brave the waters. 🚣♂️💪 Only the strongestsurvived the epic journey! 🏆🔥
👏 Amazing job, students, for being innovators 💭 and rocking the Engineering Design Process from start to finish! ⚙️✨

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

Big shoutout to Ms.Dillingham and her class for such a creative and engaging way to review angles! By using their names, students are not only learning about different types of angles, but also personalizing their learning experience. Measuring and coloring angles found in letters is a fun method to visualize math concepts.
