Fun times at our faculty meeting where #teachers demonstrated strategies for #activelearning based on @harveysilver, Richard W. Strong, and Matthew J. Perini. 1.2.3.4. Hooks and Bridges.
We're so proud of our 5th graders for winning the #Artists and Dreamers Award from Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) #Buffalo for redesigning the vacant Kmart lot. They received $500 from @BuffaloYIMBY and Schuster's Construction for being visionaries!
