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

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

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.co… #distancelearning #TsGiveTs
