Take a look at Miss Wagor's 5th Grade class at CDES completing their Must Do/May Do assignments during Math!
Students have a list of assignments/activities they MUST complete by the end of this week. When they complete them, they MAY do any of the fun, educational options listed!
While this is occurring, Miss Wagor pulls small groups to teach the current standard. This allows for personal, differentiated instruction based on student ability! The Must Do/May Do models allows students to strengthen their time management skills, take ownership of their work and demonstrate independence. Way to go students!
STAR students at CDHS had an amazing opportunity to visit Howe Caverns last week! Students went on a tour of the caverns, went mining (and found gems!) ate lunch and did some shopping. Thank you to chaperones Mrs. Gori, Mrs. Lang, Mr. Higgins, Ms. Edwards and Mr. Hitchen!
