Edgewood Middle School

US History Market Revolution Simulation to learn how supply and demand works. Students had to trade different products (bricks, clocks, flour, and shoes) and accumulate 5 of each product to win the game!

Game Day! The 7th grade social studies classes played their board games Wednesday and Thursday this week. They followed a round-robin style with about 10 minutes to play and evaluate each game. Each game had to teach and review one of our recent topics. Students evaluated the games based on clear rules, ease of playing, quality questions and facts, and creativity. Several teachers stopped by to either observe or actually spend time playing with the students. #ExperienceWCS #EdgewoodSTEM

Ms. Rhoades offered coloring time during Flex today. Students were happy to show their work, but not their faces :) #ExperienceWCS

The 7th graders worked on a second round of feedback for their board games projects by sharing them with a different team. Teams gave complimentary feedback and any final suggestions before they finish things up. They will play their games on block day. Approved visitors are welcome to come play the games with the students. Please email Mrs. Elizabeth Fisher or Mr. Kyle Holz if you’d like to come play the games! #ExperienceWCS #EdgewoodSTEM

Edgewood seventh graders are fully into building their board games now. They have defined the problem (how to build a board games that teaches a particular history content and is fun to play). They have generated ideas and concepts and proposed them to another team for feedback. Now they are designing their solution and building and testing their games models. Additional feedback is coming before the final presentation of their games. #ExperienceWCS #EdgewoodSTEM
