Do you seem to always run out of time to hold small groups or finish class activities before the bell rings?  Uncover more instructional class time with a flipped classroom.  It's not just for high school and college classes!  The focus of this session will be on how and why to implement a flipped classroom for approximately grades 2-8, but the concepts could be adapted for any grade.  Laura Briceno & Lauren Hood will walk you through their experience in implementing a "Flipped Classroom Lite" this year in their 4th grade math classrooms.  While the focus will be primarily from the perspective of 2 math teachers, a flipped classroom could be implemented in any content area, so teachers from all content areas are welcome! We'll also throw in a few other time-savers as well.
