When you think of school, you might think of working on your own at a desk in a tidy row. Maybe you sat in alphabetical order. Of course there still is much students do on their own, but they are also encouraged to collaborate, to share their thinking and respectfully listen as others share theirs. At these vertical spaces, students can show their ideas in action. Teachers are able to see thinking in real time and give suggestions and pointers. It allows teachers to quickly gauge how they can best help. Vertical spaces create synergy as students share their ideas and learn from each other. Building the workforce of tomorrow, one vertical space at a time. #FZEquipToExcel 📸PJohnson

Learning is more fun when we do it together. In Ms. Simon’s third grade class, students took what they had been learning all year to develop, build and test a pinball machine. Exploring the engineering design cycle meant they had to use criteria and work within constraints to solve a problem. After comparing ideas and using fair test strategies to test them out, they ended the unit with a pinball carnival featuring the working machines. Building the workforce of tomorrow one design at a time! #FZEquipToExcel 📸 C Simon
