📏🔢 Tier 1 - MATH IN ACTION! 🔢📏

Learning Target: I can convert among units within the customary measurement system.

Students in Mrs. Pyle’s 5th grade math class tackled a conversion sort from the Georgia Department of Education’s Length Conversions lesson!

As students sorted and grouped measurements, they were challenged to explain their mathematical thinking, justify their groupings, and engage in collaborative math conversations.

It’s more than finding the right answer—it’s about understanding the WHY behind the math! 💙💛

Tier 1 Instruction in Mrs. Blackburn's Kindergarten!

📚 Today in Arts & Letters, we read Last Stop on Market Street and explored our five senses! 👀👂👃👅🖐️

We talked about how one of the characters uses his sense of sight while riding the bus. Then, we created a story map to identify the characters and setting and drew our ideas in our journals. We loved making connections between the story and what we can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch in the world around us! 💛🚌

📚 Mathematics Matters at WES!

Our teachers engaged in vertical collaboration to deepen their understanding of HB 1030: Mathematics Matters and its four strands:

🔹 Real-World Problem Solving
🔹 Procedural Fluency
🔹 Conceptual Understanding
🔹 Productive Dispositions

Teachers researched each strand and worked together to identify how these important mathematical practices are represented in our current Georgia DOE Learning Plan lessons.

Through collaboration, we’re strengthening our shared understanding of effective math instruction and finding ways to help every WES student grow as a mathematician! 💙💛
