We love reading with our first grade buddies!

We had so much fun testing out whole numbers using the hailstone sequence, testing out the Collatz conjecture! #4thHRT

My favorite quote from yesterday’s math activity: “I know a strategy to win the game! It’s going to allow my partner to win but I want to share it anyway!” #4thHRT

We loved the Bowl a Fact and Game of Totals math games! #4thHRT

@misslacy_6 @MillCreek512 This was my elementary school, and as a teacher now I absolutely love seeing these awesome things in my childhood classrooms!

Making science safety videos in class today to share!! Fun at the end of the first full week 😊 @MillCreek512

My 4th graders LOVED the folding challenge to turn a rectangular piece of paper into other shapes! The conversations they were having were full of engagement and excitement to share! #4thHRT

4th graders got off to a strong start with the challenges given to them in Unit 0! Loved hearing the collaborative conversations and the perseverance through the challenges! #4thHRT

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a class kickball game!

How did it ever become normal to provide teachers with only a 24 minute lunch time?!

Fifth graders loved spending our morning working through @joboaler Big Idea 6 about multiplying fractions. Looking at numbers and fractions visually led to a lot of engaging work and discussions! @bvmathematics

Last week 5th graders participated in “Which One Doesn’t Belong” activities. Today they created their own original WODB posters and had to create a list of possible answers with reasons.

We are so happy that reading buddies are back!

Fifth graders put their knowledge of matter to use during Wonder Wednesday. They made predictions and mixed substances to see what dissolves. In a few days we will come back to see which liquid cleaned the pennies! #wwhrt @hrtlibrary

After a long week of testing, we spent the morning doing some Which One Doesn’t Belong plus some @SteveWyborney activities like Estimation Clipboard, Esti-Mysteries, and Splat! 5th graders had so much fun and loved discussing their strategies!

This might look like a big mess, but this is the result of a deep, engaging discussion about nearly a year’s worth of phonics and grammar skills. 😍

Fifth graders LOVED learning about coordinate planes by playing Ship Shape Game! @joboaler #mindsetmathematics

So impressed with these students creating iMotion videos about parts of a plant! We love Wonder Wednesday! #wwhrt

HRT 5th graders love @PatrickMahomes and @tkelce! ❤️💛

Our first @GetKahoot of the year! It’s always our favorite game when reviewing for a test! #BV229Tech
