On The Ridge
Grandma Rosie
This week our instructional coaches played "Grandma Rosie", a fictional character that gets students to deduce the location of this wise woman based on questions they ask her about weather and climate. Our 3rd graders had a blast with these special ladies. Thanks to Christine Skirvan, Sue Maciel, Shannon Bechard, and Lynne Phinney for making learning fun and engaging.
