Farewell 2024! Tune in as we chat with our very own @BennerBrainiacs. She motivates her students to self-assess on standards, visualize their goals more clearly, and achieve true mastery using learning progressions in her classroom.

Love seeing young scientists dive into sensory exploration. Pumpkins + bubble maps = perfect combo for sparking creativity and critical thinking!
What better way to learn about our 5 senses than some hands-on experience? These scientists were exploring pumpkins using their sense of touch and smell! We then described the pumpkin by creating a bubble map.
