Our middle school classrooms are transforming into Thinking Classrooms, where students don’t just sit and listen—they collaborate, problem-solve, and think critically every day! 🧩 Students work together in groups 🖊️ Solve real-world problems on vertical whiteboards 🤝 Share strategies and build confidence 💡 Take ownership of their learning journey. By creating spaces where every student’s voice matters, we’re fostering a culture of curiosity, perseverance, and deep understanding. 👏 We’re so proud of our students and teachers for embracing this exciting way of learning! #ThinkingClassrooms #ActiveLearning #MiddleSchool #StudentSuccess#FMSProud #WildcatPride #AcushnetSchools #FMS #BetterTogether #YouMatter #WildcatLearningTour #TwoSchoolsOneDistrict #NothingButNet #WildcatsAimingHigh
