Our 7th grade scientists started the year with an "Escape Room" as a way to get to know eachother and build teamwork and collaboration skills!
Today, Mrs. Helsel’s class began their first lesson in our reading and writing program, EL Education! They kicked off the new module by listening to a “Mission letter” and exploring some puzzle pieces given to them as a clue for what they will be learning about. Students had to solve the picture puzzles collaboratively then use the “think-pair-share” protocol to discuss with their partner what they noticed about the puzzle pieces. Great job, 1st graders!
