Absolutely! I would expand this by saying, use ADST quick challenges the first week so you can observe and assess strengths and areas of development for a class, while also having fun. Debriefing these activities helps create essential agreements as a class.
Start the school year with the fun stuff! Here’s how you can use exciting labs to help introduce important classroom rules. 🎉

Have students who need an extra challenge in math class? Find a set of 21st century pattern blocks and have them play. Lots of ideas on Dan Finkel's site mathforlove.com/games/centur...

Always fun puzzles from @mathequalslove.bsky.social . If you have students in your elementary intermediate classes who need extra challenges available, print up some of her puzzles and have them in a box with whiteboard markers and a plastic wipe off folder. Amazon has the folders.
Today's new puzzle is for my chemistry teaching friends! (Or a puzzle to share with your science teacher buddies!)

I am looking into a question: How have teachers differentiated early primary, whole-class UFLI science-of-reading-based programs (with explicit lessons on letters) when they have gifted students who already read/write above grade level, or who intuitively have picked up reading skills?
