Measuring unit continues in Eureka Math! Students are making the length of the string match the length of the shoe to find something that is longer/shorter than our shoe! #stemd69 msschumi

We are using the strings to compare the lengths of objects around the room. Making sure the end points line up and that the measuring tool is straight! #stemd69 Eureka Math msschumi

Using non standard units to measure different object lengths! We learned that the size of the units we use need to be consistent to be accurate Eureka Math #stemd69 msschumi

Level 1 and 2 of roller coaster creation…. Get our “coaster” in the stopper then 1 bump! #STEMD69

Level 3 is the loop challenge! #STEMD69

Writing sentences reviewing all of our #FUNdations rules!

A huge thank you goes out to the students at Bridges. They did a wonderful job putting together the CFC Kids Can Engineer (Music Edition) Class 1 Materials. In this program, students K-2 at District 67 and District 69 will be making their own musical instruments.

After testing our stencils, we recorded what we saw on our surface and discussed whether or not we needed to redesign to meet our goals #STEMD69

Testing our stencils, do they have all of our design goals? #STEMD69

#PublishingParty time! We showed grit and determination while writing these books and it is time to celebrate! Our non-fiction animal books have many different sections and we are excited to share what we learned!

Writers at work! Can’t wait to read these amazing memoirs! ⁦School District 69⁩ ⁦Edison Elementary⁩

Problem solving using the GCF for our thinking task in #6thgrademath today. Love seeing students apply a new concept when solving problems (especially word problems). #buildingthinkingclassrooms LincolnJrHighSkokie

Problem solving using the LCM for our thinking task in #6thgrademath yesterday. It was a great teachable moment for some groups about the difference between buying 40 of each versus 40 packages of each. 🌭🌭🌭#buildingthinkingclassrooms LincolnJrHighSkokie
