We all need a body/brain break, especially if we’re a #TeamAltaVista kindergartener. Go Noodle videos are the perfect movement exercise to squeeze in after Word Work and before Art Vistas. ⁦@TeamAltaVista⁩ #Usdlearns

Enjoying an afternoon with Mrs. Yates’ first graders during Math centers. Lots of learning and collaboration. A favorite activity was using dominoes to match numbers. It’s a lot more fun when we work together. #TeamAltaVista #usdlearns

An essential part of Common Core Mathematics is individualized learning. #TeamAltaVista does it right! Flipped learning - video lessons at home, whole class review & instruction, small group learning & individualized practice. #FifthGradeMath #usdlearns ⁦@missriley_21⁩
