Students in Mrs. M. Pena’s 5th grade class have been updating their data wall after the Benchmark. Students get to see what Tier they are under and understand how much they need to work to get to Tier 1. The goal is for all students to be in Tier 1!
🎉 Students in Mrs. Pulido's Kindergarten class had a blast reviewing subtraction with Quizizz! 📚💡 It was an engaging and interactive way to reinforce math concepts. From timed challenges to leaderboard excitement, every question sparked enthusiasm and kept everyone on their toes. Plus, the instant feedback feature helped students learn from their mistakes and improve their skills in a fun and supportive environment. Who knew subtraction could be this much fun? 🚀🔢
