Introduced my kids to the shark tracker through @OCEARCH while talking about the ocean biome. Now we’re also talking about geography, ocean organisms, & time/distance! They’re hooked! @WRES_Wildcats @RSSchoolsNC
We had THE BEST day with The Big, Bad Wind Lab. 20 mins to create the most sturdy house possible that could withstand me huffing & puffing on it, a fan, and a hairdryer blowing on it. The winners were then tested against a leaf blower. @WRES_Wildcats @RSSchoolsNC
We had a great time dissecting owl pellets, talking about food chains, reconstructing skeletons, and overcoming fears! @WRES_Wildcats @ELEM_Rowan@RSSchoolsNC
I printed their names & used those letters to play team Scrabble! This first time took a while and they needed support, but they ended up using ALL 154 letters! I’m excited to see how quick they get without my help as the year progresses and we build vocabulary 🤓 @WRES_Wildcats
@targetteachers made me do it! This claw machine has been an AWESOME motivator for my students to complete & pass @iReady lessons! The concentration is real while working the machine! 😂 @WRES_Wildcats @ELEM_Rowan@RSSchoolsNC

@CampInvention at @WRES_Wildcats was an amazing time! We loved having kids from all over the county join us this week ❤️ thank you to @InventorsHOF for the program and the Blanche and Julian Robertson Family Foundation for funding campers from the area!
After a normal school year, by this point in the summer I've deep cleaned my house, cleaned & reorganized my closet & kitchen. This summer? I've seen 2 movies, read 2 books, played with our dogs, & watched Family Feud. I have no regrets.
