Focusing on being collaborative, problem solvers, creative, and optimistic in our Big Foot challenge. Lots of ingenious designs from our 3rd grade friends today! #weared34 #glengroved34

Using our @KaganOnline structures to engage learners in solving our problem in keeping Big Foot hidden! Thank you @JENEVANSatKAGAN for teaching Pair Share and Pairs Compare. The kids love having more talk time!! #weared34 #glengroved34

Focusing on the finer details today with our Big Foot challenge. Students created stairs to get into a shelter, a purple zipline for a quick escape, and green leaves on a treehouse. All important features of their designs! #weared34 #glengroved34

Students are working through the inquiry process to creatively help Big Foot who is close to being found! #glengroved34

Challenge time!! Students are working hard constructing different structures using @Rigamajig. Everything from cars to working cranes to a movie theater with slushy machine, these designs couldn't be more creative! #weared34 #glengroved34

3rd graders were busy today constructing their own sound structures. It’s been awhile since we were able to use these materials, but we’re back at it! #weared34

@jennasaurustech @Seesaw I used your Snowman digital escape room yesterday with 3rd grade. They loved it!!!!!

Using @Seesaw with 3rd-5th graders? Check out my Digital Escape Rooms in the community library! My students love these activities. I'm not sure how to share the answer keys through Seesaw, so I attached them below! Have fun! 🎄-app.seesaw.me/pages/shared_a… ⛄-app.seesaw.me/pages/shared_a…

@jennasaurustech Thanks for your quick response! I closed out of Seesaw and reopened everything again, and it worked.

@tslater02 Hello, I’m sorry that happened. I’m not sure why. I checked the form, and tested it out, and It worked for me. If it’s still not working for you I’ll see what I can do differently.

sites.google.com/usd109.org/sno… I created another winter digital escape room (and shared it to @Seesaw )! Check it out! This would be great for 3rd-6th students remote or in-person! Thank you @jmattmiller for the great @DitchThatTxtbk tutorial! I LOVE making these!

@jennasaurustech Hi! I'm having trouble with the directional lock. I'm putting in the answer from your key, and it just keeps telling me All Caps :) Any thoughts? Thank you!!

Answer Key!

@jennasaurustech @Seesaw I'd love to view a copy of this!!

When a teacher friend who can’t be at school next week asks you to find a 🦃🎃 Digital Escape Room to assign through @Seesaw you create one! Real exciting Saturday night😂 I just need to finish the interactive Google Drawing with her Bitmoji & I’ll be finished. Love making these!

Inquiry is alive in our #GOAL classrooms this week! Ss needed to design a solution to protect everyone from the bubble gum rain. So many creative ideas from planes that suck up the gum & transport people to their destinations to fancy umbrellas! #weared34

Inquiry challenges @GlenGroveSchool look a little different this year. However, the students continue practicing being resilient, flexible in their thinking, and creative in order to invent solutions to solve problems! #weared34

If students all learn differently, shouldn't we give them a choice in how they represent this learning? Here's 1st iteration of my Show What You Know choice board made for Ts & Ss. Stay tuned for links to innovation tutorials makedesigninnovate.weebly.com/1/post/2020/07… #distancelearning #TsGiveTs

@unrulycrow What zone is she? I want to listen.

Props to Amy still going strong today! This woman is amazing and deserves a everything! #DispatchQueen #ChicagoScanner

@kellelyn_mcg What zone is she?

Excited to be starting a new book on a rainy afternoon. Can't wait to read about design thinking from @ajjuliani and @spencerideas

Last day of our Paper Circuit Challenge at GG. Every student in the building went home with a working circuit! #weared34 #glengroved34

More paper circuits on the agenda today!! The kids are loving being able to take home a working circuit they created! #weared34 #glengroved34

Working hard on paper circuits today! We are definitely testing patience and resiliency of all kids coming through the challenge! #weared34 #glengroved34
