STARBURSTING!


Starbursting is a method that is used to assist students in learning, understanding and implementing all of the details.  Many times, students try to get their work done quickly, while utilizing the Starbursting method, they require themselves to take the time to analyze and question what they are discovering, leading them to a better understanding of the content.  

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!


In honor of Dr. Seuss’ approaching birthday, we created scenes that would be in our own Dr. Seuss inspired writing today!  Using scrap paper and our imaginations, we were able to craft a scene inspired by the “The Cat in the Hat” author. Afterwards, the “artists” were able to create a story or poem surrounding their artwork.
