🌍 Mrs. Acton’s 5th graders recently explored ecosystems with the help of AI, guided by Technology Coach Mrs. Klodor! 🐾 Using a choose-your-own-adventure AI tool, students traveled through diverse ecosystems like the desert, ocean floor, and rainforest—all in one day! 🌵🌊🌳 They answered questions, received real-time feedback, and deepened their understanding of these habitats. Teacher specific tools allow them to guage how well students have mastered complicated topics like commensalism, mutualism, parasitism. 🎉 While we can’t physically take them across the globe, innovative technology brings the world right into their classroom. ✨📚 Innovative learning at its best! 🚀 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls Note: To protect student privacy, identifying information has been removed.

Where do science, robotics, art, and ethics meet? 🤖🎨⚖️ At Case Western Reserve University's Human Fusions Institute! Mr. and Mrs. Salyers took their science and history students to explore cutting-edge technology with Dr. Dustin Tyler’s team. Students saw sensory prosthetics that let people with limb loss feel again, like holding a hand 🤲, and gaming gear that lets players feel virtual worlds 🎮🌐. They also explored how social responsibility shapes the design of these technologies and how researchers consider ethical questions throughout the invention process, inspiring students to think about future careers in engineering, robotics, and medicine. 🛠️🧠💼 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls

Professional Development Days aren’t just for classrooms—they’re for kitchens, too!

Along the way, they sharpened their knife skills (literally!) and enjoyed the delicious fruits of their labor. 🍴👏 It’s all about growing together—because teamwork truly makes the dream work! #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls

🕰️📜 Our first graders took a journey through time with the "Now and Then" unit! This hands-on activity lets students dive into the past to explore how everyday life has evolved, helping them understand the concept of time in an interactive, engaging way. Starting with a visit to Burton Century Village, students saw historical artifacts up close, then returned to school to create their own classroom museum. Seeing how families from the past met basic needs like cooking, clothing, and housing sparked curiosity and opened discussions about the changes that shape our world. 🌍💭 Activities like this build strong foundations in historical thinking, research skills, and cultural awareness, helping connect students to their heritage and setting them up for lifelong learning. 💡🧑‍🏫✨ 📸 Photo Credit: Stephanie Malley & Stephanie Lichtenfeld
