Gr.5 Chiodo's Class finished their Floating Leaves Project!! Wow!! Mrs. Chiodo

Nothing but smiles as students worked collaboratively to place decimals on a number line earlier this week!

We took advantage of the beautiful weather and the open space in Readers’ Park to record our small moment stories using FlipGrid!

Congratulations to my Stellar Student from Chiodo's 5th Grade Class. We studied artist Jim Dine and then created heart art inspired by his work!! Mrs. Chiodo

5th graders in Mrs. Chiodo class traveled to Garnet Valley MS to learn all about force, potential/kinetic energy and motion through various roller coaster stations! Erin Cleary GVMS Library 📚 #gvfeeling

Excited to kick off year 17 at GVES, but even more excited to start in a new role as a STEAM teacher!

Here’s a glimpse into the planning and creating phase of the engineering design process students engaged in last week. I’ve been impressed by the perseverance, creativity and collaboration shown by the designers each day!

“Ask yourself this question in the morning when you wake: in a world of possibilities, today, what will you make?” {Be a Maker by Katey Howes}

That feeling you get when your cooperation, teamwork, creativity and perseverance pays off!

A snapshot of last week in STEAM…Scavenger hunts, outdoor explorations, team building, design challenges and more!

GVE STEAM could use your help. 🙏

STEAM is out of this world 🪐 🚀 💫

Make no bones about it…we had a great time learning about the bones in our hands today!

Third graders are designing solutions to slow down erosion and protect their lighthouses.
