Last Friday, 2/23, Candis Dean, Literacy Specialist provided professional learning for the Reading teachers at Bowling Green Elementary. An interactive professional learning designed for teachers to be able to take back and implement high impact learning for students around direct vocabulary instruction.
HEC is thrilled to share the exciting highlights from our recent Communities of Practice. We engaged in a hands-on and productive math struggle activity. Each participant was tasked with constructing a Pringle Ringle using only Pringle chips. This seemingly simple task required creative problem solving.
Our math content specialist, Stacey Hinson, had the pleasure of working with the math department at Bowling Green Elementary last week. We spent our time together investigating the importance of using manipulatives in moving students through the concrete, representational, to abstract process. Using manipulatives helps students' understanding and engagement with mathematical concepts.
Teachers at Country Oaks and Upthegrove Elementary spent time during their PLC's exploring a variety of no/to low cost manipulatives. Allowing students to create their own meaning from manipulatives they select provides opportunities for deeper understanding of math concepts.
It was a great evening with the families of Westside Elementary at their New World Reading Literacy Event! Families had dinner, each child received the book, "My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World," by Malcolm Mitchell and completed a literacy activity sharing their favorite book. #newworldsreading #loveofreading #staytuned
