Activity. Authenticity. Belonging. Our boys had their first “Let Me Run” session today and they were FULL of energy. We’re excited to see them grow throughout the program! #TheCreekIsRising

Today, the focus of our experiment was to infer motion, direction, speed, and distance by building a marshmallow catapult. My kids really enjoyed testing out their theories and we had a lot of “aha moments💡”

Today we created a visual for the water cycle and this is how it turned out. We will be observing changes over the next few days and recording it. The students were excited and engaged! And I feel accomplished! It was a great teaching day ☺️

Shoutout to Mrs. Batts’ Beehive for being receptive to "on the spot" feedback/modeling that resulted in changes being made to her math instruction. I look forward to more teaching partner days, as we work together to increase student proficiency. #LearnGrowLead #CommittedAtTheCreek

How do you get students running to complete math problems? Try the 100 Squares Challenge. 🏃

Shout out to Beth Dodson for putting today this sweet treat idea for us teachers. She walked around the building with cups that teachers had to throw a rock into a cup and win a prize 🏆 I won 30 minutes of coverage from admin or coaches 😁 #TheCreekisRising

BEYOND proud of this group of young men. This morning, our boys who participate in Let Me Run ran their first 5K with two of them placing 2nd & 3rd in their age groups. Shoutout to Coaches Dumas, Batts, and Dodson for preparing them and Jesse Gore for supporting♥️ #LetMeRun🏃🏽‍♂️💨

So excited about being a coach with Coach D and Ms. Dodson for Girl on the Run this year! Our first practice went so well ❤️🏃🏾‍♀️

Today was story book character day and some of the girls and I decided to be characters from the movie/book Inside Out 2. Did we pull it off? 😂❤️ #WCES

These amazing girls completed the Bee Amazing 5K with strength and resilience! Shoutout to the families and dedicated coaches who cheered them on. Completing the 5K showed these girls that they are capable of achieving big goals, together. Walnut Creek Elementary School #5K #GirlsOnTheRun

Congratulations Mrs. Batts’ Beehive and “Squad Engage” on your presentation at the OEA's Student & Educator Engagement Team Showcase!

The Dream Team made it through the 2024-2025 school year. It’s bittersweet because we are both leaving “The Creek” but we are moving on to our next adventures in our career. I may have lost a coworker but I feel like I gained a kid sister Mrs. Batts’ Beehive

Somebody asked me how do I do what I do everyday and after reading this letter from a student this why 🩷 My babies have graduated, and now it is time for me to start a new chapter in my life. Walnut Creek thank you for being my first big girl job! 6th grade math here I come 🎉

I’ve completed my first full week of teacher workdays at Centennial and I have to say that this has been the best start week I’ve had since I started teaching. I can’t wait to start working with this amazing staff and meet my new students! 🖤❤️ #PacktotheFuture
