Mrs. Turpin's and Mrs. Fischer's math classes are a bit like being in the creative environment at Google. Discussing rate and slope utilizing @next_gen_math; desks used as a whiteboard/group discussion; and taking @AVID4College notes in flexible seating. #1townschoolcommunity #BW
It has been full week of science activities at BW! On Thursday Jake and Beth Hunter from @StemTaught stopped by to lead a lesson with magnets, straws, and barbs. Imaginations galore with this NGSS hands on science activity for Miss Sturm's 3rd grade class. #1townschoolcommunity
