Connected to the Science curriculum, we were able to walk around the trash to steam plant to learn about energy and conservation. The students got a tour of the facilities from the trash drop off to the steam towers. The students also got the chance to sit in the conference room to learn more about what trash to steam means and how it is embraced globally.
As you might have seen in a parent letter, "while particularly effective as a remedial or intervention program for struggling students, Think Through Math’s adaptive learning technology addresses the learning needs of ALL students, including students working at grade level, English Language Learners (ELL), those with advanced math aptitude, and students with learning disabilities." We have been using Think Through Math once as week as well as at home for extra practice. This has been supplimenting our math workshop and differentiated instruction.
We got to spend the week working with our buddies to create a beautiful fingerpainted sky line that was sold at the Auction. While the students were not painting they were reading, drawing and learning with their buddies. The students learned about Apollo 13 and how the crew handled the situation.
