Students in Mrs. Bato’s class spent the week testing out new Cooperative Learning Strategies which allowed them to work with different groups in a more interactive approach. They were encouraged to move around, hold group discussions, and make the lesson their own. Mrs. Bato was excited to bring these newly learned strategies to her students, and they were excited to participate! #spartanproud
