Visual Behavior Chart
This has to be one of the most useful tools I have ever used in school. If students are having a particularly hard day, their clothes pin is moved to orange or red. This gives them a visual warning, and they typically change their way of doing things and move back up without me having to tell them to "stop" or "no".
Our class pet for the day apparently hitched a ride from piano lessons!
A tin home provided an interesting opportunity of nature watching.

Creativity at its best!

Let's take this pellet apart and see what this owl had for dinner!
Owl pellets are fascinating examples of nature.

It looks that way to Global Treehouse students.
Wait...give me that magnifying glass again!
Keeping track of our studies and learning to organize ourselves through the use
of a schedule is perhaps one of our most important and useful skills.
