May is Mental Health Awareness Month . Near and far…. It doesn’t matter. 💚Deaven Meadors AnitaM Fuquay Soccer The Hidden Opponent at Fuquay-Varina HS

So proud of my sister, Stephanie Hildreth! Please listen to her as she speaks (as well as some others) about how her company, as well as others, are addressing mental health in the legal work place 💚podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/leg…

Math outside! Make paper airplanes ✈️ ✅, fly them ✅ measure distance 📏 ✅, and graph 📉 our data ✅! Lincoln HeightsECMES

Today my student wanted to share with me her nature find during recess! I love how at ease she is! Lincoln HeightsECMES

Recess nature find number 2! They are everywhere!!!@LHECMES

Learning while “playing” with pop cubes. We strategies and then students had to build their rectangular prism and justify their answer to me Lincoln HeightsECMES

Learning about flooding after tracking a bunch of hurricanes & tropical storms for the last 2 weeks. Here we are mimicking a flash flood. Why is there a pool of water? Why is the ground mushy? Where does all the water go? Lincoln HeightsECMES Laura Wood #takeachildoutside Taco week

Spent math measuring and calculating volume of rectangular prisms outside in our gardens and outdoor learning spaces. Real life applications! 🙌. Lincoln HeightsECMES Laura Wood #takeachildoutside

Which group can melt the ice cube first without using their hands?! So many cool discussions and discoveries today! Heat transfer underway! Lincoln HeightsECMES Laura Wood

Natural Disasters Expeditions identifying a vortex and students enjoyed making tornadoes 🌪️ Lincoln HeightsECMES

Students learned that chemical changes can release gasses. I think today’s science demo was a success! 🧪 Lincoln HeightsECMES Laura Wood thanks for the quick assist!

Natural disasters class started learning about tectonic plates. We did a demo to show divergent, transformation, and as pictures show , convergent boundaries. Lincoln HeightsECMES

Expeditions class was involved students becoming seismologists, measuring “seismic activity” with their seismographs! Lincoln HeightsECMES

Bowling 🎳 in class? Science is everywhere! We inferred motion of the ball and pins, and determined types force needed to move objects! Lincoln HeightsECMES Laura Wood

Today in science we raced cars 🏎️ with different ramp heights and friction to infer speed and distance! Lincoln HeightsECMES

Which group can build a structure to withstand an earthquake? Stay tuned for the results tomorrow. Kids are busy being engineers! Lincoln HeightsECMES

Natural Disasters expedition update… congrats to the group that survived in the final round with a level 8 on the Richter scale 😜 great job engineering the winning and most durable structure in the class! Lincoln HeightsECMES

5th graders are using what they have learned in the force and motion unit to apply when making our K’Nex vehicles! 🚗 Whose group will go the furthest distance? Stay tuned!! Sneak peak of the engineers at work! Lincoln HeightsECMES

K’Nex Grand Champions Lincoln HeightsECMES !! Way to put your knowledge of force and motion to work! Their vehicle travelled 5.52 meters🤯 ….making them the champion of all 5th grade classrooms at LHES!

Tsunami 🌊 Day in our expeditions. Students created a shore and created a tsunami. Goal: Their livestock had to survive their tsunami 🌊 Lincoln HeightsECMES
