1st grade AIMers learned how ancient Egyptians told stories with hieroglyphics. We wrote our own on papyrus & clay tablets! We topped off the day with our favorite storyteller @LisaBoysen who shared more about mummies and the riddle of the Sphinx @ClarkCreekSTEM

Tried a new thinking strategy with my fourth grade AIMers. “Build a Brick”encourages Ss to build something representative of what they learned in a reading passage then share their summary & connections with others. Creativity + Critical Thinking = Big 🧠 @ClarkCreekSTEM!
