3rd graders used @CanvaEdu to create online & social media safety memes! This engaging project helped students explore digital citizenship in a fun, meaningful, & memorable way while tackling a rigorous, creative task. A great example of blending tech skills w/ ELA standards.
Huge thank you to @CropKingInc for leading an incredible virtual field trip! Ss were able to see real-world applications of our science & hydroponics unit in action, making direct connections to 3rd grade standards in a way that was fun, engaging, & truly immersive.
Comet Journalism Club would like to share our Spring 2026 edition of the Comet Connection brought directly by Ss from all grades at Steele. @mrs_schwartz @MrsHostutlerELA https://t.co/dUaz0EPt8s

Starting flowers in our hydroponics desktop units. What seems like simple growing turns into powerful learning. Ss are building vocabulary, exploring parts of speech, & making cross-curricular connections in science, literacy, & beyond. Possibilities with hydroponics are endless
Amazing day in Computer Science Club! Our students explored hands-on STEM tools like Lite-Brite and marble runs, evaluating how each resource connects to Computer Science standards. Engaging, creative, and full of critical thinking! @AJHComets @basicfuntoys
Our hydroponics garden is thriving! Basil & cilantro are growing beautifully, & while the rosemary is taking its time, it’s doing wonderfully. We are harvesting next week before transitioning to flowers. It’s incredible to see what Ss can grow using the NFT system from @cropking
Great visit to @CropKing Inc to explore bringing more hydroponics opportunities to our Ss here in Amherst 🌱 Excited to continue our partnerships that will help create authentic, hands-on learning opportunities for all ages of Ss while looking into innovative ways to grow food.
1st graders traveled to Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming for a virtual field trip exploring amazing animal adaptations! This experience connects directly to our CKLA curriculum & gives Ss the opportunity to learn from experts beyond our classroom @centerofthewest
A very full circle moment for me. From graduating from @KentState to presenting @KentState- I never thought this was going to happen:) Go Golden Flashes! Thank you @NEOTechConf for the opportunity to share how our @AJHComets Ss are Vibe Coding & creating amazing projects!
Do you know what the most popular candy is in the United States? It is NOT Gummy Clusters. Tune into our latest Junior High As we Know It Podcast, "Sweet Tooth" episode featuring Ss sharing and debating their favorite sweets @AJHComets @Spotify https://t.co/UQTiotKxD3
Do you know what a parfleche is? Our kindergarteners do! It’s a suitcase made from buffalo hide. 🦬 We virtually visited @centerofthewest in Cody, WY to learn how Plains tribes used every part of the buffalo. A perfect connection to our CKLA unit!
Today in Kdg we used magnetic pieces & our pin-back button machine to create hands-on letter tiles to reinforce letter sounds & build strong foundational skills. Ss designed & created their own learning manipulatives from start to finish, engaged, empowered, & proud of their work
Vibe Coding is so cool! I'll be presenting at NEOTech 2026 on Mar 10 - 10, 2026 at Kent State University teaching adults and students how to vibe code. I would love to see you there! #NEOTech2026 #NEOTech @NEOTechConf

Another great meeting with Computer Science Clubs. Our @AJHComets are working on a vibe coding competition and our Powers Ss are continuing their works with Circuit building using @SnapCircuits
2nd Grade used @CanvaEdu to create an interactive poster where viewers can scan & listen to audio recordings of our Ss reading their written reports on a variety of Olympic sports! A fun way to combine research, writing, & voice into one engaging project @milancortina26

A great day @OETC sharing all of the wonderful Innovative Edtech happening in Amherst Schools. We shared our AI initiatives, All things Google, Hydroponics and our Comet Journalism Club & their Comet Connections. @mrs_schwartz
Thank you UCAR Center For Science Education @UCARSciEd for teaching our Ss all about clouds. We were all amazed at the science behind weather.
