Students actively engaged in the 25k Pyramid Activity! 🥳 We’ve used this strategy to review previously taught concepts and prior to a CMA!
@HCPSElemScience@WeAreHAEST
FUN learning activity after FAST Writing!
Academic Language / Vocab Art 🤩 Students picked their word(s) from a bucket, drew their word, then participated in a gallery walk to observe and determine their classmates’ words!
@HCPSElemScience@WeAreHAEST
Students enjoyed climate PPTs so much, they asked to make them for our environments unit!
We included animals (and their classifications 😉), plants found in environemnt, and related the environments to previously taught units!
@HCPSElemScience@WeAreHAEST
Summed up our climate unit with PPT presentations - collectively, students created their own rubric based on EQs + the standards!
Students provided each other with sticky notes containing 1 thing they learned from the presentation!

Students at @HCPSGorrieEL activate their brains each day with focused review standards—strengthening skills & refining their thinking for lasting mastery.
Plus, who doesn’t love earning “Love Jar” tickets along the way? 🧠✨ 🩷

I truly work for the best department in HCPS! 🥹 Thank you to the Science Department for always making us (teachers AND students) feel valued!

Wrapped up U13, Our Solar System, earlier this week … and I can’t bring myself to take down students’ 2D/3D models! 🪐🧑🏼🚀 Students are really enjoying our Earth Science units!
@WeAreHAEST@HCPSElemScience@HCPSGorrieEL
wrapped up our physical change experiments prior to fall break - excited to give students a brain break after testing with our chemical change experiment!

Celebrated our grade level Science Olympics winners on the morning show (Friday) + surprised them with a @WeAreHAEST tshirt! THEN, today, we celebrated our 1st + 2nd Grade Winners for winning their district heats on Saturday. @HCPSElemScience@HCPSGorrieEL
One of my teaching goals for ‘25-‘26 was to utilize mini rubrics for student responses (instead of hand written sticky notes 😜) - proud to say, so far so good … they’re even color coded!
👀 check out that VE modification for written responses!
@WeAreHAEST@HCPSElemScience
Started collecting QUANTITATIVE / MEASURABLE data on our LTI Grow Creatures! Students enjoyed using tools to collect their data and share with their class!
@HCPSGorrieEL@HCPSElemScience@WeAreHAEST
LATE POST: Wrapped up Unit 0 + Unit 1 Process Skills … two weeks ago 🤭! Students enjoyed mini investigations to set the stage for the rest of the year!
@HCPSGorrieEL@WeAreHAEST@HCPSElemScience
safe to say our 🏆scholar bowl, 🔐 escape rooms, and 🔭 review stations ensured our students’ success on FSSA • extremely proud of our kiddos and all their hard work!
