Blythewood High School Athletes
Several captains of different teams at BHS came to visit us today during recess and lunch. 

Winter Celebration

The students enjoyed making their edible reindeer during the celebration today! 

Snowmen Sequence
The students built snowmen out of Playdough and had to write down the steps (in sequence) they used to make their snowman.  They gave their writing to another student in the class to see if they were detailed enough for their peer to construct the same snowman. They also recorded their original snowman on Flipgrid to compare the two. In some situations we learned how important it is to be detailed and that a little revision might be in order! Fun lesson and activity!
