Another Jag WOW Moment: Ms. Allen’s Math Magic!

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Ms. Allen’s class, and I was blown away by her wonderful math lesson!

The objective was finding the unknown variable, and Ms. Allen skillfully modeled the concept using a tens frame. She then gave students think-time and invited individuals to share their reasoning.

To make learning meaningful, she connected the lesson to real-life examples, keeping every student engaged and encouraging rich student discourse throughout the activity.

👏🏽 Great job, Ms. Allen! Your dedication and creative teaching make learning come alive!

Kindergarten Learns About Axolotls during Library Time!
Our kindergarten students had an exciting time exploring the fascinating world of axolotls! Using Alabama Virtual Library and PebbleGo, they learned fun facts about these unique aquatic animals — like how they can regrow their body parts! Afterwards, our young scientists showed off their creativity by drawing their own axolotl illustrations.

BCES first graders participated in a fun and engaging addition activity called “Shake and Spill” with Ms. Creech, our Academic Interventionist!
🎉 Students shook their bowls of counters, poured them out, and created addition sentences to show how many counters were yellow and how many were red. This hands-on activity helped our scholars strengthen their addition skills while having a great time learning through play. Great job, scholars! 👏
