The GT Literacy group is taking some time to deep dive into Roald Dahl, his history, the attributes of his writing, the voice, the themes, etc... I am having a blast reading through the classic CCF with them. They are also exploring other Dahl classics independently. 

Students engaged in multi-tiered problem based learning for this unit. Everything from price points to fractions to multiplying multi-digit numbers- this group did it all for the purposes of opening their own candy store. (The store may not have opened, but they did get to make candy!)

Autobiography study with 2nd Grade Literacy

Students have been engaged in a deep dive of Jane Goodall's life. In reading and engaging in expansive discussion about the events, cause and effect, comparing and contrasting of the chimps as well as connecting the text to their lives. In the end, we made a map of Tanzania (home to Gombe Preserve) using the Augmented Reality Sand Table. 

The second grade math enrichment group has had a blast measuring with fractions, solving for the unknown in equations and then constructing a scale model of their own city. I am so proud of the ingenuity they exhibited at the various stages of this process.
