"The value of one thing depends on another" Mrs. Neal's math students explore depth and complexity through big ideas. How can we relate big ideas to math, science, measurement, friends, family and life? See our class chart and student samples and find out! Students in Mrs. Hechtman's reading class explore several Big Ideas as they read the historical fiction novel, Island of the Blue Dolphins. While reading, students continuously and independently prove the big ideas with evidence from the text and post their observations on our Idea Wall. This collaborative body of student ideas allows students to learn from one another in a fun and interactive way! Students in Mrs. Hechtman's reading class learned how to ask great unanswered questions by combining the prompts of depth and complexity, key words, and content imperatives by creating intersections between prompts and coupled sets. Students went from asking basic factual questions to asking thoughtful analytic questions in a very short time period! Kol Hakavod! Students in Ms. Spielberg's reading class did a beautiful job displaying what search and rescue dogs do, how they are trained, and how they help their victims. Students in Ms. Spielberg's reading class synthesized the information they learned about search and rescue dogs and presented their learning in a brochure. Upcoming DatesFriday, 10/10 - No School
