The Case of the Missing Assistant Principal! 🔎🚧
Mrs. Bridges’ 5th-grade reading students at Starr Elementary transformed into detectives to tackle a hands-on crime scene investigation to sharpen their skills in identifying Primary and Secondary Sources. 🕵️♂️🗂️
The students did an amazing job gathering evidence, analyzing clues, and distinguishing between different types of information sources. This interactive activity made learning fun while strengthening their critical thinking skills! 📝👏
Mrs. Holbrook's and Mr. Metz’s English 4 students recently presented their career research projects! 🎓📚
Each student explored a potential career path, creating boards that detailed everything from job descriptions and salary expectations to education requirements and essential job skills. They shared their findings with district representatives and school staff, gaining valuable experience in communication and presenting their ideas. 🌟💼
This project prepares them for future career decisions and builds confidence and essential soft skills for the workforce. We’re so proud of their hard work! 👨🏻🏭👩🏽⚕️#CareerReady
