On Wed we did our 2nd Step lesson and learned how our brain grows! The activity to help Ss understand the lesson involved tossing objects around + remembering the order of who tossed to you + who you threw to! It was such a fun time! 🎉 Hempfield SD #blackknightpride #growthmindset

Students worked hard today to look through a text to find examples of the authors voice. Ss posted their findings on our Schoology discussion board! It was great seeing Ss groups digging into the text + discussing which sentences were good examples to share. Hempfield SD #Reading

This afternoon was so fun! Our 6th graders got to meet their 1st grade buddies. Students spent 45 minutes walking around the school grounds getting to know each other + we ended w a tie dye activity! This was an amazing whole school activity!! Hempfield SD #blackknightpride #school

“I wanted to be normal just like everyone else.” I wrote this book as a reminder that whatever uniqueness you come with isn’t a barrier. It’s an invitation to greatness. #Heartbeats #Codebreaker

The unplanned twinning was strong today at school! ♥️ Hempfield SD RES principal #blackknightpride #teachers #elementary #school

We’re doing a pilot program for ELA in 6th grade and this week started our small group learning selections. Students have been having rich discussions + digging into the rigorous text to find evidence. 📚 Hempfield SD #blackknightpride #teachers #reading #ela

Last round of students doing the butter lab for the year. Students had first hand experience changing a liquid to a solid in a fun way! Hempfield SD #blackknightpride #TEACHers #teacher #science

Normally I match with my colleagues, but today was our pink out day and I matched with one of my students! He walked by me and pointed out we had the same style + color sneaker on! (I felt pretty young 🤣) Hempfield SD #blackknightpride #teacher #BreastCancerAwareness #sixthgrade

Moved onto our next unit in science! We’re learning all about atoms, molecules, compounds + the periodic table! Students used pipe cleaners and beads to get hands on w building some Bohr diagrams 🎉 Hempfield SD #blackknightpride #science #teacher

Mrs. Smith came in and led my math class in a really great coding activity with the Ozobot! Students learned basic code and then had to write a code to get the ozobot to travel to all 4 quadrants! So much fun 👏🏻👏🏻 Hempfield SD #blackknightpride #teacher #coding #math #6thchat

LOVE being able to tie digital breakouts in to review for science! Hempfield SD #blackknightpride #science #sixthgrade #blendedlearning

We normally match as a 6th grade team (missing Miss Pipkin today) but today we had students who unplanned matched with us!! We had to snap a pic 📸♥️ Hempfield SD #blackknightpride RES principal #sixthgrade #matching #wintertime #holiday

Some fun in math! Teams had to solve the problems on the cards as a group and when they finished a card they had to sing a holiday song! Hempfield SD #blackknightpride #holiday #sixthgrade #math

Can’t wait for this chat!!
