🎉 **Electric Wonders Unleashed in Mrs. Bullard's Fifth Grade Classroom!** 🎉 Our scientists have been busy, hands-on, piecing together the puzzle of **simple electric circuits**. Here's a sneak peek into their electrifying journey: 1. **Understanding the Essentials**: Every student became a mini-engineer, identifying key components like batteries, wires, and bulbs. It was like watching little sparks of genius flying around the room! 2. **Designing Masters**: With newfound knowledge, they sketched and then brought to life their very own circuits. The air was buzzing—not just with electricity but with creativity and excitement. 3. **Explaining Like Pros**: But they didn't stop there! Each young inventor took a moment to explain their design, sharing insights about how electricity flows and lights up our lives. 4. **The Redesign Challenge**: Embracing the true spirit of innovation, they reimagined and refined their circuits, proving that learning is indeed a continuous journey. The energy was infectious, and the pride in their eyes was brighter than the bulbs they lit up! 💡 A big shoutout to our little geniuses for lighting up our day with their creativity and enthusiasm. Your spark truly made the classroom brighter!
The PE department at Claxton Middle School was able to incorporate some digital learning into their classes by allowing students to watch part of the March Madness tournament. The students were able to see a modeled visual representation of what an actual, high-level basketball game looks like. They were able to see examples of communication, attainable skills, passing, and rules enforcement. The students practiced the skills after watching, and they will be assessed on basic rules and fundamentals of the game.
