Ms. Cole’s 4th graders at Village Green Environmental Studies School had some classroom fun comparing and contrasting life cycles of Florida plants and animals, such as those that undergo incomplete and complete metamorphosis, and flowering and nonflowering seed-bearing plants. Students were using their notes, science books, and charts to create Venn diagrams out of hula hoops of incomplete and complete metamorphosis of two insects.  They had to create 3-dimensional models of each stage and write the name of the stage and what occurs during that stage of the life cycle. Thank you Ms. Cole for an innovative way of teaching this … Read More

At Morningside Elementary School, Mrs. Wright’s 4th-grade students are diving deep into mathematics by exploring place value concepts through an engaging Wipebook activity. This hands-on experience allowed students to compare, multiply, and divide multi-digit whole numbers while actively applying their knowledge. As part of our commitment to innovative teaching, Morningside is embracing the “Building Thinking Classrooms” model—an evidence-based approach that empowers students to take ownership of their learning. By encouraging collaboration, critical thinking, and peer discussion, students are developing a deeper understanding of complex problems. At Morningside, learning is more than a task—it’s an adventure where every student SOARS! #SeizingOpportunitiesAchievingRealSuccess
