đâš Learning in Action at BMS! âšđ
Our sixth grade English classes completed an exciting side quest with our librarians to practice using descriptive detail through the fun and interactive We Will Write platform!
Students took on the challenge of writing descriptively for three minutes in response to a series of prompts. Afterward, they read their peersâ responses and voted on the strongest examples to represent their teams.
We love seeing our Panthers grow as creative, confident writers! đđŸâïž #learninginaction #WeAreBenton

đâš Learning in Action at BMS! âšđ
Our 5th grade English classes completed a fun library side quest with Mrs. Burkes, our librarian, to review story plot elements!
During this activity, students acted out scenes from three different plays and then answered questions about key plot conceptsâsuch as how the conflict grew throughout the story and how it was ultimately resolved.
Seeing students bring their learning to life through movement, drama, and collaboration was amazing! đŹđ€©
Great job, Panthers! đŸđđ #learninginaction #WeAreBenton
