Many of our students are tactile learners and it helps with retention of information. https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2175574339 2022-05-09 12:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2175574339 From Ms. Williams class: I love how my former preschool kiddo is not only learning about the environment, but is also working on her writing skills, as well as learning a new art process. https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2175603186 2022-05-09 12:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2175603186 I found this great I-Ready incentive chart outside of Mrs. McDevitt’s 2nd grade! This is a great way to encourage the students to try harder to improve those I-Ready scores!!

The students applied their perseverance learning while creating their OWN inventions!]]> 2022-05-09 18:01:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2176201275 Art meets literacy with haikus https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2176257909 I like this example of how we can connect all the things we learn, like they did here with writing/reading and art. The kids did a beautiful job on their poems and their artwork! I still remember learning haikus when I was younger so hopefully it is something interesting to them that sticks with them too!

The kids and teachers have done a wonderful job and are now literally seeing the fruits of their labor! I know Ms. Adams has also done a wonderful job making sure they stay nice and watered! As an added bonus, the kids LOVE watching the sprinkler as they walk into school. :)

Even though it’s tracking reading goals, it allows students to incorporate statistics and monitoring their overall percentage growth! Ms. Nova rocks for making this! ]]> 2022-05-09 18:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2176285613 https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2176287460 This is just one example of an i-ready motivation chart that I have found in the hallways. This is a 3rd grade math incentive. When the whole class climbs the mountain of success the class will have a choice activity of game day outside or board games inside.]]> 2022-05-09 18:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2176287460 Loved this iready motivation for K.

It sparks the imagination; as well as, providing statistics on a legend-an excellent comparison. ]]> 2022-05-09 19:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2176310330 Math https://padlet.com/mbennett120/v3z0nrbjhjk2dk0/wish/2176311306 Loved the multiplication bee competition that took place on Friday, May 6.
