Such a fun cross-district collaboration day Friday for Health and Physical Education teachers from Webster, Laude, Clayton, Lindbergh, and Brentwood! It was wonderful to network with other teachers and be reminded of why the work we do is so important for our students. #wgbuzz
Still can't believe what an incredible opportunity #SPEAKOutDay 2026 was! I love the fact that I got to share my "why" behind teaching, advocate for funding education, promote high quality physical education/ health, and talk about my amazing students 💚🧡💙 @MOSHAPE1
Fantastic Opening Day celebration paired with a wonderful western spirit day. 🌵
Here is to the 25/26 school year, let's kick the dust up! 🤍🖤🧡 #OneWebster
Having a blast and learning a lot at @MOSHAPE1! Super excited I get to share this experience with my peers and our evaluating principal! #wgbuzz@WebsterGrovesSD
At Hixson, this week was packed with 3 Field Days amongst other various end of the year activities! Each grade level got to participate in their very own Field Day! What a fun and amazing way to end the year! Thank you to all of the staff who made this week possible! 😁 #wgbuzz
ARCHERY UNIT! 🎯
This week, 6th graders are working on their Archery skills via the NASP Program! ❤️ I love it when students have the 💡moment and it all clicks! Continous thanks to @MDC_online & @naspschools for the grants last year to help us get the program at Hixson! #wgbuzz
6th Grade Dance Unit! First, we learned 5 different line dances, danced to Just Dance, & leared how to take our heart rate! Next, we learned Tinikling, a traditional folk dance in the Philippines & jumped rope. Finally we created our own dances for our dance Battle! #wgbuzz
Tested out the Wah Master today from @OPENPhysEd ! The kids are having a BLAST! Thank you @CoachGelardi for teaching it to us at MOSHAPE! Many smiles today! #wgbuzz
Had the honor of presenting with my best friend and teaching partner today at MOSHAPE! Loved being able to represent @WebsterGrovesSD and some of the neat things we do with our 6th graders at Hixson! #wgbuzz#ourtimeourlegacy2023
Thank you @shenitamayes for letting us go! 😁
Today, I had the opportunity to participate in the MDC @MDC_online Discover Nature Fishing Course! 🐟 Excited to bring back what I learned to my students! Big thank you to @shenitamayes for letting me attend this PD! Here is to fishing at Hixson in the future! #wgbuzz
This makes me so happy! 🤸♀️🤸♂️🤸
I love that our 8th Grade kickball Tournament Champs are getting a chance to play against our Police Department! Much planning went into our 1st ever Kickball Tournament in the fall. I am glad those students have another chance to show their skill!
Our amazing Librarians made these signs for teachers to hang up showcasing what each teacher is reading! It has been fun striking up conversations with students over what I am reading and what they like to read/ are currently reading! #wgbuzz
When people ask why I teach.. this is the why ^. To provide students opportunities for lifetime physical activity and enjoyment. For archery, you don't have to be the best or most skilled athlete . Plus, it is amazing to see the lightbulb moments when students get it!
This week 6th graders are participating in archery! Thank you so much to @shenitamayes , @MDC_online and @naspschools for providing Hixson Middle grants/funding to get equipment! This unit means a lot to students and me! Scroll for 📸 of students and little Ms. Lewis! #wgbuzz
Geocaching! What a perfect way to end MAP testing. Students were able to run around in groups, use GPS's, and find caches! We discussed how to geocache outside of school and learned how to use GPS's. Happy Friday! #wgbuzz#geocaching
