Today, the 4th graders started their day setting up their digital work portfolios on Book Creator. At the end of each semester, the students will use their portfolios to guide a student-led conference discussing their triumphs and goals.

They then moved on to working on brain anatomy. They worked through stations to build a 3D playdough model of the brain, they played a game called -Ectomy, and some students had time to work on their blogs and comment on their classmates' first blog posts.

I'll have information available concerning conference options after meeting with the GATE Facilitator team on next Monday afternoon. Thanks for your patience!

Some students were interested in the recipe for the homemade playdough they used for building. You can find it here!
