Welcome to 🦖 Jurassic Park🦕! We became paleontologists this week and studied all about fossils. We even got to dig for our own fossils! #hollyspringsSTEM#learningisfun#3rdgrade#CCSD
My 3rd graders had so much fun learning about types of soil this week. We even got to do some hands-on investigations to compare the properties of different soils. #HSES#hollyspringsSTEM#thirdgrade#learningisfun
Wilcox’s Wizards got to read the new ‘Creepy Crayon’ book and do a fun STEM activity with our awesome media specialist this week! They had a blast! #HollySpringsSTEMacademy#HSES#ccsd#creepycrayon
Our science topic for week 2: engineers. Students used the engineering process (ask, research, imagine, plan, create, test, & improve) to build the tallest tower possible using only 12 notecards & 20 dot stickers. I think I’ve got some future engineers on my hands! #CCSD#HSES
Year 6 looks a little different this year..

Josue has been w/ my class since August. He speaks no English but man has he made an impact on his peers. Today is his last day & my class is heartbroken. His classmates spent their own ‘paw points’ to buy Josue goodbye gifts. If I could teach my kids anything all year, it’s this
Played a little trashketball in math today to help us review for an upcoming test. Listen to that cheering and support!! #learningisfun#2ndgrade#cwesisthebest
Today we worked to solve the case of the greedy gnome! Food from the village supply stash went missing & my students helped find the culprit. They read graphs & solved problems to get clues to solve the mystery. #mysterymath#2ndgrade#cwesisthebest#teacher#math#learningisfun
Our annual lid skid competition! Who can use the right amount of force to make their lid land on the correct line?Our winner gets to face the winners from all the other 2nd grade classes! #forceandmotion#science#teacher
We had our practice 5k yesterday and our girls killed it! They were SO encouraging to one another and truly showed what it means to be a part of a team. I could not be more proud! #GOTR#gotratl#feathertogether
