Shout Out to Topsfield Fire Department

Topsfield Fire Truck

 The Topsfield Fire Department visited our Firsties today to launch our first Project-Based Learning module.  Our driving question:  How can we as engineers, teach our community about sound and light to keep us safe?

Back to School: TAKE ONE

 

Setting up the room; TAKE 1

Here we are...There is so much to do and it's so HOT!!!!  There's my old SMARTBOARD. What's happening to my room???

My old Smart Board computer in pieces parts

There is no longer a whiteboard or bulletin board 

The whiteboard needs to go away. Tears shed 0 vs. Heart-rate 150 mph.  The room still needs to lose the whiteboard, the walls need to be sanded, and painted, YIKES!!!!!

New things=creating new look

Calendar Corner is in the works...September books are displayed.

  

Day One is DONE

I initially thought the classroom space looked welcoming but it needed more appeal.
