Second grade is continuing to learn more about sound through hands-on learning! In this lesson, students explored different methods for causing a material to vibrate as well as how the size and tension of a container affect pitch. 🥁 #hawksdoitdifferent #secondgradelearns #hces

So, our CNS staff noticed that when younger Ss would come through lunch, they’d get held up struggling to separate trays, so they pre-separated/alternated their stacking. There’s a lesson here: when you’re not seeing the outcomes you want, look at the system not at the child.

I loved seeing this student-made self-help poster as I walked down the school hall. We take care of each other at Hortons Creek! Hortons Creek ES Hortons Creek 2nd #togetherisbetter #otherpeoplematter

We started learning about fossils and the archeologist Mary Anning this week so we dressed up as a group of archeologists and Mary Anning’s “dino digging dog” Pepper! 🦖🗺🦴 Check out “Stone Girl, Bone Girl” or “The Dog that Dug for Dinosaurs” to learn more about Mary Anning!

We had a great start to M3 Unit 2 of EL by doing a poster walk! Students examined pictures of different pollinators and recorded things they noticed and wondered to jumpstart their learning! #togetherisbetter Hortons Creek ES

Circle keeper training day 2! Again, one of, if not, THE BEST TRAINING EVER! Especially during this time…today is exactly what was needed! 💙 ⁦Hortons Creek ES⁩ ⁦Michael Parker West⁩ ⁦Amanda Morton⁩ ⁦Ashley Howey⁩

Today our students explored creating bar graphs using colored tiles, did a gallery walk, then wrote their own survey questions and made a bar graph to represent their data 📊#mathematiciansatwork #hawksdoitdifferent Hortons Creek ES

It’s no joke…I can hardly believe today is it, my final day Rolesville MS. Honestly it’s a little surreal. @kseidl34 felt the need to capture it 😆. Appreciate her encouragement and support through it all.
