Good week, a bit more progress made with current cycle. I met with the world language teachers who don't have a designated PLC time each day, and we went through a Flipgrid presentation I put together. I assisted in setting up their teacher accounts, and walked them through the options for creating a grid. The intent is to allow students to respond orally in their grids, as a form of assessment.
Math, the other content I'm working with this cycle had a fun and entertaining week. They "Barbie Bungee Jumped" in 8th grade. Yes, it is exactly what you're envisioning. Students calculated how many rubber bands they'd need to create a bungee cord, to have their barbie jump out of a second story window, but not hit the ground. It was a riot, and such a great learning activity!
Gearing up for round two of STAAR testing; math, science, and social studies are on deck. Rocking Reviews start mid-week next week.

Week of 4/2-6
Preparing for STAAR testing and some PLC groups looking at lessons beyond testing. Working with ELA to incorporate VR using Google card boards, on the topic of Anne Frank/Holocaust/WWII. Should be a neat experience for the students.
