Ms. Franz

Starting the week off with the classic story, Master of Cats from our Junior Great Book series! Looking forward to our shared inquiry next week #vocabularydeveloment #causeandeffect #Socraticseminarprep @APS_ATS @APSGifted @APS_ELA_Elem

4th Grade Mathmaticans practiced their awesome #mathcommunication skills with Project M3 10th Street Pet Sanctuary Think Deeply questions. I was so impressed at their ability to explain and elaborate their thinking! @APS_ATS @APSGifted

Literary elements, inferences and concept maps to start off our Friday! #JacobsLadder #ReadingComprehension #Reflections @APSGifted @APS_ATS

4th grade Ss begin their decimal unit with M3: 10th Street Pet Sanctuary! Great way to show pictorial representations of decimal numbers to the thousandths! @APSGifted @APS_ATS #mathematicians #mathtalk #keeganstrategies #mathworkshop

Kindergartners read “The Turn-Around, Upside-Down Alphabet Book” and practiced their visualization skills by imagining their letter of the week “K” into superhero’s, balance scale, seesaws, rainbows and much more! What would you visualize? @APSGifted @APS_ATS #CCT

Third Graders practicing written,standard,and expanded form up to the hundred thousands by playing M3 How Big is Big: Make It, Say It!! @APSGifted @APS_ATS #mathworkshop #unittworeview #mathematicians

How far would you travel to win the “Amazing Race”? Our ATS stars are willing to travel “Miles and Miles” to see how far they can travel. #M3HowBigIsBig #challengecards #thinkdeeply @APSGifted @APS_ATS

Ss excited to dive into our first Navigator Unit of the school year. After reading and responding to Jumanji these creative learners used clues from the story to develop and create a real life game board! #criticalandcreativethinking #RAFT #WMnavigatorunits @APS_ATS @APSGifted

Shout out to @MyRedCooper 4th Grade class for using their #HabitsofMind #Metacognition skills for our first STEAM challenge of the year! #thinkingaboutthinking #knowingyourknowing #spaghettimarshmallowchallenge @APSGifted @APS_ATS

ATS Stars dive into the week by completing @nearpod Project M3 How Big is Big and MoLi Stone in math! We loved using the collaboration board and our base 10 blocks at home! @APSGifted @APSMath @APS_ATS @MyRedCooper @ATS_4thGrade

Hard to read through a screen but 4th grade students worked on Habits of Mind “Wanted” posters. One Ss shared they wanted to work towards thinking interdependently just like how @tkercounselor does! #helpeachotherasmuchaspossible #collaborate #habitsofmind @APSGifted @APS_ATS

Ss in @MyRedCooper class continued to work on defining their #habitsofmind! We took time exploring strengths and goals for the school year! @APSGifted @APS_ATS

@ATS_4thGrade students solved M3 Fermi Problems as they concluded their estimation unit. Once they reached a reasonable solution they created an iMovie to showcase their strategies! @APSGifted @APSMath #canvas #numericalreasoning

@ATS_4thGrade students working on Jacob’s Ladder on mindsets. What do you tell yourself when faced with a challenge? #growthmindset @APS_ATS @APSGifted
