KNOT MY PROBLEM
For their first activity in the Innovation Lab, 5th graders worked on spatial awareness within the lab, effective communication, collaboration, and problem solving as a team while playing the “Knot My Problem” tangled rope challenge.
Teams had to untangle a rope while sticking to particular guidelines. Everyone in the group had to have both hands touching the rope at all times while trying to untangle the rope.
If someone accidentally removed a hand, the team would have to start over. Students were encouraged to develop a strategy before starting, use positive dialogue to communicate ideas and try different approaches until they figured out how to untangle their rope.
At the end of the activity, we discussed the importance of collaboration and communication within teams.

1st graders in Mrs. Peck's class work together to create a bar graph of which food each student likes most - giving them the ability to see and compare the different food preferences in the class.
Bar graphs are such a great visual tool for students because it shows information as an image or picture - for students who are still learning to read, this is a great way to differentiate instruction for them.

Pre-K loves puzzles!
Did you know a puzzle teaches young children the concept of a 'whole' and that each piece is a fraction of the bigger picture? It also helps develop essential skills such as shape recognition, concentration, goal setting, patience and a sense of achievement.

Students love STEM Bins!
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, in Mrs. Tidwell's class at Claremont students, use STEM Bins as a part of their morning routine. This activity is a great way to assist students in easing their way into the school day, allowing them space to get their minds thinking creatively and critically.

💜 Compassion 💜 Empathy 💜 Community 💜 Humanitarianism
GE Life Principles that create a climate of mutual respect in our schools. Last week Roosa Elementary students and staff demonstrated these principles and wore purple for Payge and Sage to bring awareness about Chiari disorder.
Chiari Awareness: Chiari is a severe neurological disorder where the bottom part of the brain, the cerebellum, descends out of the skull and crowds the spinal cord, putting pressure on both the brain and spine, causing many symptoms. Two students at Roosa Elementary, Payge Henderson and Sage Roper, have this rare diagnosis.

Music is excellent for academic success. Studies show that music lessons can enhance language skills, cognitive ability and even memory!
Mrs. Keener's 3rd-grade music students had a blast getting to play on instruments during class. Did you know xylophone means "sound of wood?"

Education spans far more than what a teacher teaches from the board. Mrs. LaValley’s 2nd grade class at Roosa took ownership of their learning by reading books on their level during “cookie bookie.” This activity requires students to select books in their range, find a spot around the room that meets their learning style, and enjoy cookies while they read. Students stay engaged and focused on reading when their needs are met academically, environmentally, and socially.
