What's Happening Around Lyon Academy? September 5th, 2014

It may have been only a four day week, but there is still a lot of great work happening around our school! Take a look at some of the great postings in classrooms throughout the building that were spotted this week! Be sure to give these teachers a "high five" when you see them! If you know someone who has a great item  in their class or you have something you would like to share, please e-mail a picture to me at Tyler.Archer@slps.org! 

Mr. Bartlett's sixth grade students created an anchor chart to help illustrate how the eye perceives light and is able to see. 

Another of Mr. Bartlett's anchor charts is a student-friendly depiction of the states of matter and includes an explanation of the drawings. 

Ms. Colacino created an anchor chart of "Power Reading" strategies to help that students can refer to in order to become stronger readers throughout the year. 

Ms. McCord has created two posters that give students a visual reminder of thinking stems to use when speaking and writing testable questions and arguments. 

Ms. Cleland created an anchor chart for her students identifying characteristics of realism and fantasy, then had them participate by doing an extension activity with Post-It notes. 

Mr. Swanston has posted new student work with a rubric and SLPS Project Description sheet. Students completed projects about careers they wanted to pursue when they grow up. 

Finally, Mrs. DeLeon gave her students a framework for comparing two pieces of art by designing a Venn Diagram with higher level questions.
