Steckel's Snapshots

Quarter 3

First day of class and students are already digging in and tinkering with tools. 

7th graders made games for the class to review concepts we did in chapter 5 before break. 

Reviewing adding and subracting linear expressions by playing the match game. 

Projects have started and already so many possibilities. Creativity overload in the lab. 

Quarter 2

7th graders made shoes and learned the process a business goes through when making and selling a product. 

These may not all be correct, but I am so impressed and proud of my students for wanting to show how they solved the problem. 

Creativity at it's finest. 

This may look like a mess...but to a student it is endless posibilities. What will they come up with?

Having a little competition. 

Creating apps. 

Percent Wall
Students made posters to see what percents are as a picture, simplified fraction, decimal and how to say the decimal in words. ​

The first day of a project is so much fun. What will they come up with?

Quarter 1

Learning how the brain works and makes connections when we make a mistake or struggle. Positive and growth mindset is key. 

We are not ready for snow, but this light up snowman helped brighten our day. 

Having fun with algebra tiles. Brain breaks help us recharge. 

New projects = creativity overload in the lab!

Our plane and helicopter are ready for take off. 

Stacking and transporting cubes with a Vex robot.
