Collaborate, Communicate, Create, and Connect. Thursday, August 27, 2015. South Spartan teachers began their Monday by participating in the Spartan Scavenger Hunt. Teachers were divided into groups by putting a puzzle together. Once together the pieces were turned over to use a QR code to find their next location. With over 12 new staff members I thought this would be a great way to get to know each other as while navigating the halls of South Middle School. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Book Party on the Deck.

Friday, December 9, 2016. Despite winter storm Alivia in Grand Forks, we had an Hour of Code event at Schroeder Middle School. For several weeks prior to December 8, Mrs. Chandler and I had been working with her 8th grade students to employ a teach the teacher methodology with middle school students. So all classes at Schroeder were taught by students. The day was awesome and went off without a hitch! Here is our schedule. What I have learned from BreakoutEDU. Because after all of thes.

Sunday, May 17, 2015. The Case of the Missing Cookies! Officer DaLee Wilkinson created a wonderful activity for our 6th graders at South Middle School. She created a crime scene along with suspects and fingerprints. Students had to follow the steps that police officers would take to solve a crime. This activity connected perfectly with my language arts curriculum that focused on making a claim supported by evidence!
