Mrs. Shaul’s 3rd graders have been thinking critically about fractions this week! After making fraction strips, they had some great observations about the sizes of each unit fraction. Then, students collaborated to place fractions on a number line. They had very meaningful conversations with each other as they attempted to place the fractions in the correct order. #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily
Faith and Adalynn made the highest ISIP scores this month. ISIP is a monthly assessment in an e-learning reading program called Istation. Congratulations to Ms. Fallin and Mrs. Fennell’s Super Readers! #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily
Most students hear the word "draft," and they automatically think about sports. Students in Mrs. Ikner's 6th grade Language Arts classes are reading Ender's Game, and they are learning what the government draft was. In class, they are collaborating with peers to research and answer the question, "Do we still need the draft?" Students are given a certain amount of time to research the question and put together a response that they present to their classmates. #4Cs #ProjectBasedLearning

Students in Mrs. A. Robinson's Biology classes began their unit on Genetics by exploring the properties of dominant & recessive alleles. Mrs. Robinson introduced the content, & students were able to complete some simple experiments. Understanding that dominant alleles always display, students proved this by using green & yellow water. When the yellow was poured into the green, the green displayed, & the yellow was covered. When the green was poured into the yellow, the green still displayed, proving that green was the dominant, & demonstrating Mendel's Law of Dominance. #Collaboration #CriticalThinking
