Welcome to the Bearcat Family!
🌟 Classroom Spotlight: Mrs. Schaaf’s 6th Graders + Magic School Study Bot! 🌟
This week, Mrs. Schaaf’s 6th-grade class turned test review into an adventure with the Magic School Study Bot! Instead of a traditional study guide, students explored their review material in an interactive and engaging way with the help of AI.
By the end of the lesson, students weren’t just reviewing for the test—they were thinking critically, collaborating, and realizing that AI can be a creative tool for learning. Mrs. Schaaf’s classroom showed that studying doesn’t have to be stressful when you add a little ✨magic✨ to the mix!
