It's the first official day of fall! Mrs. Byler is super happy as it's her favorite season. She's been excited that for about a week now, it's felt like autumn. Now to watch for the trees to change and the leaves to fall! 🍁🍂 #fall #Autumn #favorite #season #colorful #beautiful

Happy Birthday to my partner in shenanigans, my school other half, Mrs. Carter!! 🎈🎂🥂🎉 Jennifer Hendricks Forever the dynamic duo 👭🏼 #birthday #teacherbesties #partnerincrime #Science #socialstudies #love #iamcucps

I will say being able to let the kids have hands-on experiences and watching their discoveries is my favorite part of being partially in school and it helps make this craziness worth it 😊💖 #iamcucps

This is my favorite part of teaching! Over the past two weeks watching the kids make discoveries, whisper to themselves "woaah", "this is so cool", etc. and smiling to myself as I watch them excitedly testing the world around them to learn more! #education #Science #iamcucps

We started learning about Light this week! With that comes the realization that white light is really just all the colors of the Rainbow! 🌈 We even got a "double rainbow... all the way across the [desk]"! #Science #handsonlearning #light #rainbow #prism #fun #discover #iamcucps

Early morning lesson about the ocean floor! #iamcucps Kelly Redford

First day of Summer Camp! Introduction to the Solar System via a Scavenger Hunt! 🔍🌌👨🏼‍🚀👩🏼‍🚀🌠 #Science #solarsystem #Space #fun #scavengerhunt #summer #camp #iamcucps

Today we used ourselves to represent the planets in our solar system so we could see how spread out the planets really are! #solarsystem #planets #Space #SummerSchool #Science #iamcucps

Forgot to take more than this one photo, but today we gave our reports on the planets we did research on! Each student included a few tidbits about the planet they chose and I can't wait to put the whole video together to share! #Science #summerschool #space #planets #iamcucps

Finished our last day with an escape room based on their knowledge of the planets and solar system! 🌌 #Space #science #solarsystem #planets #escaperoom #summerschool #iamcucps

My BIL took us to an observatory tonight! 🌌 I've always wanted to go to one and it was really cool! I was able to see Jupiter, 3 of it's 4 Galilean moons, and Saturn with my own eyes! 👀😍 We also saw the ISS pass by 🛰 #astronomy #telescope #Space #awe #fascinating #Science

Hoppy Halloween! 🎃🦇👻🕸🦈🐇 (Violet is so over her costume 😅) #halloween #bunny #shark #costume #bunniesofinstagram #petcohalloween instagram.com/p/CVtUM7Fpeln/…

Our students in Victoria Byler (Cook) class presented projects today! #iamcucps #Science #learning

I feel like I just went 🤿 diving after looking at the ocean floor creations in Victoria Byler (Cook) science class! Impressive…#iamcucps #DukePride
