In room 106, we love using our classroom Promethium boards for all subjects.
The 4th and 5th grade students practiced editing paragraphs by adding quotation marks to create dialogue.
The 6th grade student used the board to convert linear equations to slope-intercept form and graph their equations.
The classroom enjoyed celebrating Valentine's day with a themed escape room challenge. In teams, they worked collaboratively with their classmates to solve language arts related challenges and find clues in oder to escape the candy factory they were trapped in.
