Students in Ms. Taylor's fourth grade class demonstrated how simple machines work through dance. This group is showing how a pulley works! #eureka
A fun surprise today—one of my students and I happened to be dressed alike! The class absolutely loved it, and it definitely brought some extra smiles, laughter, and a little burst of joy to our morning together
Third grade students are musical learners! Students are following chords symbols written in a song to play the chordal accompaniment on boom whackers. Students are also practicing building I, IV, and V chords on their own.
