Stimulating our brains by learning more about them! 🧠

Our 7th graders in Mrs. Daly's class for Reading & Language Arts are wrapped up their unit on brain science. This week, they participated in a classroom activity exploring a variety of neurological disorders.

The task helped our students focus on informative text and writing. After getting paired into groups, they each presented information about their assigned case study to the rest of their classmates.

They are making the most of every day they spend at our schools!

Using real-world applications and teamwork to help with our math skills!! 📝🧠

Last week, Mrs. Coronado's 5th graders worked in pairs to solve a handful of questions involving fractions with different denominators.

Then, each group presented to the class, explaining their method of solving the task at hand. If you can explain it, you can learn it! 👏
