Friday evening EFA+ hosted the Science Fair! There were many amazing entries, including a kid (baby goat), and a hover board. Thank you to all who participated and attended.
Students in K03 used an Arts Integrated Cooperative Structure called "Snowball Fight" to complete math equations.
Parts of the equations were written on colorful pieces of paper, then students had a snowball fight with the papers, then they worked together to find the pieces of the equations and put them in order.
How do you get 5th graders excited about analyzing parts of speech? Give them (empty) boxes of food!
