Spotlight on UPark GT
Working with kindergarten through fifth grade throughout each week, each day is so unique, different and FUN! This week, third graders were challenged by using their strong conceptual knowledge of multiplication and division in a real world problem solving situation! Students had to tap into their curiosities and background knowledge and reflect on their own thinking and the thinking of others while determining strategies in a problem involving multiplication, division and measurement! They were sucked into the learning - willing to think, try, fail, adjust and apply....it was a great morning!
UPark Semantics Team Tryouts Coming Up!
Did you know that a "logophile" is a person who loves words? Do you have a kiddo like this at home? Does your child enjoy competitive experiences? If so, Semantics Team tryouts are coming soon!
