Today my student teacher, Mr. E led a pre-fall break STEAM activity. Our gremlins had so much fun engineering spaghetti towers, so @MsLeonardoClass and I had to get in on it! #iteach4th #stemchallenge

Our class’s part of the Bartle Balloons Over Broadway turned out amazing! I love this awesome 4th grade tradition - what an amazing STEM challenge! Happy Thanksgiving from our crew to yours! #HappyThanksgiving #macysthanksgivingdayparade #balloonsoverbroadway #balloonsoverbartle

[Mrs. Besas @BelberMiss]

As Balloons Over Broadway prep, we discussed the best way to blow up balloons! We mixed different materials together to see what made the biggest balloon and talked about our observations! #MacysThanksgivingDayParade #Science #ThanksgivingSTEM

@GovMurphy please eliminate the edTPA! This costly test is not valid or reliable, is extremely expensive, and deterring young people from pursuing teaching. Help stop the teacher shortage and ban this test!
