21 days ago…and today. Each day we popped a balloon to reveal a student’s name and we all wrote our favorite things about that person. Saying goodbye to the Class of 2021 will be rough tomorrow 😢🎓@MsWalters6th @WillowRoadVS13 @VS13UFSD

How do you engage a classroom full of 6th graders who graduated last week??? A summer themed escape room, of course! Out of the box thinking was in full force today! @MsWalters6th @WillowRoadVS13 @VS13UFSD

Today our amazing 6th graders hypothesized, followed detailed procedures, and analyzed chemical reactions to experience the irreversible change and production of exothermic and endothermic reactions #ourclassisawesome #handsonchemistry @MsWalters6th @WillowRoadVS13 @VS13UFSD

Playing a Clue-style whodunnit game to practice writing algebraic expressions, social distancing-style, by spreading out in the hallway. LOVE it when 6th graders say math is FUN! @MsWalters6th @WillowRoadVS13

Teachers at @WillowRoadVS13 are simply Incredible!...and Frozone is pretty awesome too! @MsWalters6th @MrsLepe_4th @VS13UFSD

[Ms. Walters @MsWalters6th]

Today we participated in a fall STEM challenge! Students tested flipping water bottles with different amounts of candy corn in them. Their hypothesis? The more candy corn in the bottle, the more successful they were at flipping it!
