Mrs. Brightman is one of our FABULOUS 1st grade teachers. She is high energy, highly engaging, and highly esteemed in our building! Today, she was caught teaching her kiddos about greater numbers using alligator "chomp" as the greater symbol. This hands on approach lead to mastery of the concept. Her students exceed all expectations, and she does too!! In her words: "Students in Mrs. Brightman’s first grade class are learning about comparing numbers. Today we used alligators to represent the greater than and less than symbols, and then fed them a delicious two digit number. Students used critical thinking and mental math skills to determine which number to feed the alligator. They worked in trios to take turns being the alligator and a number card holder. This was so much fun" #msetheplacetobe
