North Lamar ISD Kicks Off School Year

 

The first week of school at North Lamar ISD was an exciting and productive start, as students across various grade levels engaged in hands-on learning experiences.

In Mrs. Cannada’s class, students explored the concepts of vertical and horizontal lines in a fun and tactile way, using play-dough to reinforce their understanding. This creative approach allowed students to visualize and manipulate the lines, making the learning process enjoyable and effective.

 

Mrs. London’s first-grade class embraced the movement as a tool for learning phonics and building words through active engagement. Integrating movement into the lesson enhanced students’ understanding of phonics while keeping them energized and focused.

 

Meanwhile, Mrs. Creamer’s second-grade GT students took a deep dive into critical thinking with the book Sarabella’s Thinking Cap. After reading and discussing Depth and Complexity Questions, the students made their own thinking caps, a creative exercise that encouraged them to think outside the box and apply their newfound knowledge imaginatively.

Miss Bridgers’ science classes took a collaborative approach to learning. Students took turns teaching their classmates about various science vocabulary words and safety procedures. This peer-teaching method fostered a sense of responsibility and reinforced their understanding of important scientific concepts.

 

In Ms. Sillivan’s third-grade class, students enjoyed a day of reading and puzzles in the hub, combining literacy with problem-solving activities that engaged their critical thinking skills.

 

North Lamar ISD is excited to witness the enthusiasm and creativity displayed in classrooms from the beginning of the school year. The teachers have excelled in crafting educational and engaging lessons, establishing a positive and dynamic atmosphere that will continue throughout the year.
