Welcome Back: Flipping My Classroom

I am very excited about the new school year. I will be using Haiku, an online

assignment/course system, to create one place for student course content. All middle school students will be able to watch videos, read handouts, turn in digital assignments via one location. Last year, students used email, my blog, and Google drive/docs for these same purposes. This new site will create a more fluid learning environment. Delivering content this way is often referred to as flipping your classroom. I'm excited to be flipping. I will share more about this change in the weeks to come!

6th Grade Paper Brain Models

As my school joins the maker and stem movement, more and more of collegial conversations focus on student projects as problem solving. The need for students to understand and to manipulate materials is imperative. One such project incorporates all of these ideas. It is the origami paper brain model by Martin Pyka. Examples below are from my 6th gr. class. http://www.martinpyka.de/paperbrain/

Met Museum's Amazing Collection: Writing Systems

5th Grade students are studying writing systems. Today we looked at this beautiful tile that has calligraphic writing! Ramadan Mubarak to all who celebrate ✨ In honor of the start of #Ramadan , a look at this stunning #mihrab , or prayer niche. One of the earliest, finest examples of mosaic tilework, it was made by joining cut glazed tiles to produce intricate arabesque and calligraphic designs. pic.twitter.com/avvZ6DzQV0 — The Metropolitan Museum of Art (@metmuseum) April 13, 2021
