What a day we had cumulating the end of our W&W ocean module! We dissected a squid to examine its structures and functions!! We then created presentations using the text to teach others about squids! 🦑🦑🤩@JAE_stem @co_sumner

After learning all about the ocean in our @WitWisdomELA unit, we got a chance to talk with @aaus expert Dr. Derek Smith and have him share all about his work with ocean research! It was fantastic!!! @JAE_stem @co_sumner

Summer scholars used teamwork to complete a cup challenge today. They learned the importance of working together and communicating with each other. Love the emphasis on learning life skills in the midst of academics this summer. @co_sumner @JAE_stem

Summer Scholars have been reading all about Leonardo da Vinci this week and now are composing essays to share what inspired him. I’m so impressed with their writing skills! Wit and Wisdom works! @co_sumner @JAE_stem #summerscholars

I’m so thankful to work at a school where administration is intentional about supporting their teachers in both professional and personal growth! @JAE_stem @TressaSanders @kylecraighead85 #ROCvision

CALLING ALL SURGEONS!! Welcome to our Writing Operating Room! 😷🩺 Today, we completed “surgery” on all things writing to help us not slip into “code red” on our writing tcap tomorrow! 🥼 @JAE_stem

Today we started Test Prep Olympics to kick off some review before TNReady next week!! The kids did a great job working together with their “countries” to tackle hard concepts from the year! #preparelikechampions @JAE_stem

Nothing will warm your heart faster than sweet girls saying, “Ms. J, we are obsessed with this series.. we can’t stop reading!!” @JAE_stem

We were so excited to have time in our pacing to pause and expose students to another great text to tie in with our @WitWisdomELA Zathura lessons! Hearing the gasps and giggles while reading and comparing the two texts made my day! 🤩@JAE_stem @co_sumner

This week we had our 3rd grade annual Wax Museum! Students spent several weeks reading, researching, and creating a biography on a historical figure in history. Then they built a 3D figure to represent their figure’s contribution to society! @JAE_stem

This week we had a BLAST exploring the important events of the Apollo 11 mission, created a living timeline sequencing those events, and acted out the astronauts’ point of view with a tableau! 🚀@JAE_stem @WitWisdomELA

We worked hard learning about sequence and cause/effect this week, but we also learned about teamwork, courage, and celebration with the Boosterthon team! On run day, we wore pink in honor of our sweet music teacher! We are a school family! 💕@JAE_stem

We kicked off our @WitWisdomELA Module 2 with an “out of this world”Book Tasting to preview the module texts!! A student said, “This book tasting gave me a quick taste of learning what these books are about!” 💕🚀✨@JAE_stem @co_sumner

Today, we wrapped up our ocean module by dissecting a squid to identify the internal and external structures that help it survive in the ocean! Such a great visual to apply the knowledge we’ve been learning! @JAE_stem @co_sumner @WitWisdomELA @TressaSanders

Our final writing task was to create a didactic wall panel explaining why and how scientists explore sea creatures! This was a complex task, and they rocked it! If only I could post them all to share! 🦑🦈@JAE_stem @co_sumner @WitWisdomELA

@teach_with_bono @JAE_stem @co_sumner Absolutely! I’ll even send you the Google Slides we made to direct the lesson! ;) send me your email!

@JordanJAEstem @JAE_stem @co_sumner This is GENIUS!! Totally stealing...if that’s okay?? 🤪

To preview our new text, each group became “experts” on a different chapter and created a presentation to share with the class which included interesting facts, new vocabulary and an illustration to portray their chapter! 🦑🐋@JAE_stem @co_sumner

This week, we explored how text features add to our knowledge in our new text Shark Attack! Students then wrote paragraphs explaining how divers and swimmers stay safe from sharks, with their own added text features. @JAE_stem @co_sumner

This week, students learned the importance of illustrations and how they aid comprehension! Students wrote paragraphs explaining why and how scientists explore the sea, creating an illustration to support their writing. Great work! @JAE_stem @co_sumner

We have had so much fun diving deeper into “The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau” this week. We explored illustrations, quotations, and context to create inferences to determine the essential meaning of the text. @JAE_stem @co_sumner
