Today was E for Experiments! We did some fun science labs like density towers & homemade lava lamps. What a fun morning!!! 🥳💞🧪👩🔬🧑🔬
The art & some of the artists! Chalk the Walk was such a thoughtful thing for the Murphy community to do! The rain might wash away the evidence- but your kindness is felt and appreciated! 🤍🫶🏻

Ss collaboratively working to complete a "color by time" sheet by using a variation on Fan-N-Pick! 1 holds up card, 1 pulls and reads, 1 answers, the last checks / coaches. Then they all color! So much fun! ⏰🫶🏻🎉

We have to let other adults make the decisions on how our young will be protected."

the evolutionary torch-bearers, worthy of utmost safety and protection. Every teacher I know would fall into this category, because we recognize the fragility and the vulnerability of youth. But in this unique situation- we are not the adults with the power.
Ss breaking a big group of objects into equal groups to answer questions like- what is 2/6 of 24?
So proud of my Math DEB friends & their collaborative efforts!
Ss use fraction tile #manipulatives & whiteboards to model & answer fraction related word problems in Math DEB! One partner is responsible for the tiles, one is responsible for writing. They switch each time we move to a new problem! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork 🤩📝
