Collaboration while composing shapes. I enjoy hearing their talk as they share their ideas. 😊 #Eurekamath #HESfirstgradethinkers

We've been busy in first grade. Researching for our upcoming project presentations, composing shapes, and doing the egg drop STEM challenge. I'm happy to report we had 7 teams and 7 eggs survived the drop! #firstgradelearners #futureengineers

Our Peeps tower challenge also turned into a taste testing adventure. We also had a creature creation.

Had a great day at UNC Morehead Planetarium for the NC Science festival. So much inspiration and fun with my home peeps. ❤️ #STEMinspiration #familyfun

After #Benchmark and #Eurekamath we managed to find time to learn about and create solar eclipses today. 🌑

Always makes a teacher happy to see a former student buying books❤️ #HESBookFair #teacherlove

Another year with Freddie. Together with Ms. Cook 's class we were able to demonstrate the effects of water pollution on fish and what we can do to prevent it. (Also proud to admit I practice 2 of the R's by reducing waste by reusing these supplies each year.😁) #EarthDay2024

Studying about the day and night sky and learning about the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in #Benchmark, we're ready to set out on more exploration in our spaceships!

After reading and discussing "Night Sky" in #Benchmark, we decided to create our own constellations. We drew them out, made them for our spacescape, and what they would look like in the night sky (with a little help from another star☀️). #Starmakers #mythandlegendcreators

After Field Day Tuesday, I pulled out a plastic bag and said, "I need community helpers." In an instant the bag was out of my hands and kids were scattered everywhere. In less than 4 minutes we had this...#learninginaction #globalleaders

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

A busy first 3 days of first grade. We measured how far a sneeze can travel and observed what soap does to germs.

Great turnout for the first HES #ObserveTheMoon night! Thank you to all who attended. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did

Conversation this morning: Hubby: What's with this bag of bottle caps? Me: They make great wheels for axles 😊 #STEMlife

I'm trying to raise money for a science kit and student activity packs for my class this year from Center for Inquiry Based Learning (CIBL). If you'd like to help, please see the link below. url2448.networkforgood.com/ls/click?upn=u… Any little bit can help. Thank you!

A big shout out and thank you to NC Museum of History for the amazing templates we used in our study of Native Americans!
