Second grade readers know they have important jobs to do before, during and after reading to make sure they understand what they read! #ellingcen #ellingtonshines #tcrwp

Second graders are learning how a story arc can help them track and retell the key elements in stories they are reading. They are also using the story element icons to make sure they are including these elements in the stories they write! #ellingcen ##ellingtonshines #tcrwp

Happy Constitution Day! #ellingcen #ellingtonshines

Just in case anyone needs a reminder-for kiddos AND grown-ups 💕

These students just finished a Fiction Reading Quest. They are working to use the comprehension strategies we’ve learned in their independent reading! #ellingcen #tcrwp

Rm 10 celebrated 25 “Pawsitive” choices! Ss chose extra maker time and built with Magna Tiles, Brain Flakes and beads. Ss also pretended with fancy cloth remnants These Ss built a Bey Blade stadium. This purposeful play also provided guided social skill practice! #ellingcen

We are starting the new year with a growth mindset! #ellingcen

Informative video about what Science & Engineering Practices (#SEP) mean in #NGSS. Check it out and share with your fellow science teachers.

Our soft start Friday incorporated play, social skill practice, science and engineering. This learner led a group that designed, built and tested their own Bey Blades. #ellingcen

School spirit to the max! #ellingcen

Students collected leaves at recess. During snack they led a discussion that brought this month’s number corner to life! “Is it a pinnate or palmate leaf? How do you know? What is your evidence?” Living the STEM life! #ellingcen

We got a golden ticket! Thanks Center School PTO for all you do to make Center an awesome place to learn! #ellingcen

Is our corn real or fake? How is our corn changing? Groups of scientists are tracking the cob they put in water. They are collecting and tracking measurement data and their observations over time. #ellingcen #ngss

Oh no! Mrs. W dropped harvest corn and it got wet...and it CHANGED! The Room 10 scientists have to figure this out! We planned an investigation to see if dry corn is real or fake. Ss measured and sketched the dry corn. Then we put it in water to see what happens! #ellingcen
