STEM Games

@Graphite: Go Car Go is a fun game that puts #physics into action. Find 6 more #STEM apps: http://t.co/oOognSWXLC http://t.co/IDdchuthAI

Maybe some of these would be good on a device for holiday traveling?

This is Athens!

One of the greatest compliments in teaching: your students asking to do it again tomorrow. I will see my fellow Athenians in the a.m. :)

Party!

Reminder- Holiday Party tomorrow at 1:00 pm. Please join us! Update: Mrs. Geary won't be able to come, but will see us right after break. :)

Big Ideas

Deep connections: students discussed the importance of the roles in Ancient Athens. They saw these make a system that includes structures.

Life in Ancient Athens

Learning about life in Ancient Athens through a mini-simulation. Students take on different roles to learn about government and more! Fun!!!

Free time this break? Visit a museum and make note of the design features. It'll spark ideas for our own creations! http://tinyurl.com/k978sqz

Snowball fight!

Quote of the day: "Mrs. Follin- You've stepped up your game since you've been gone! This is cool!" Ask them about the snowball fight!!!!

Jumping right in!

Great to be back. We're picking right up with the Greece research started last week. Ask your child what he/she learned from research today.
