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.
I want to know more about Barbie Bungee jumping! That sounds like fun! Hahaha. I'm glad that your teachers have been able to do great things and you're feeling like there is more progress in this final cycle!
