🔬🏗️ Teamwork, creativity, and a little bit of engineering were on full display in Ms. Ruopoli’s 3rd grade classroom! Our Twisters took on the challenge of building the tallest tower they could using only spaghetti sticks and mini marshmallows. 🍝☁️
Students worked through the scientific process as they designed, reflected, redesigned, and shared out their creations! We love seeing our students think, collaborate, problem-solve, and learn from one another. 🌪️💙💚
Who knew spaghetti and marshmallows could lead to such tall learning? 😉

✨ Learning, imagination, and creativity were in full swing in Mrs. Dechow’s first-grade classroom! Our Twisters used Instructional Empowerment to explore how we use our imagination when we play through writing and drawing. 📝🎨 We loved seeing their creative ideas come to life! 💙💚🌪️

Instructional Empowerment in action! 🌟
Our students stepped into the role of thinkers and decision-makers today as they worked together to explore a big question: Is it ever okay to break a rule?
Through meaningful discussion and collaboration, students shared their perspectives, challenged ideas, and did an incredible job explaining why they thought the way they did. 🗣️💭
It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they learned that strong thinking means being able to support your ideas and listen to the thinking of others. 👏
