We've been learning about energy, systems and circuits in science! To get some hands on experience we made light up Valentines for someone special!

@MrColeman110 came to introduce us to Makey Makey! We'll be using this fun tool to make interactive posters in the near future!

Today my students did the pencil tower challenge. The amount of perseverance, focus, communication, respect, and creativity that came from these kids made me so excited for our year together!

Today is Memorial Day. Honor our fallen. Be the kind of citizen that they fought for your freedom to be. If my 11 year old can make time... So can you.

Sometimes you open the mailbox and a whole sunshine pops out. I made my students a Tiny Teacher. Just a bitmoji me laminated. I asked them to take me on adventures with them so I could always be with them. Today I got this in the mail from one of my students. ❤️ #prideinourtribe

The past few days have been wearing on me mentally. So this morning I decided to get up and take a walk. It felt amazing and my mind feels so much better!

Human connection is key to good teaching. How are you staying connected to your students during this unprecedented time?

Getting ready to take a rainy drive around town. A torrential downpour couldn't stop me from coming by to see your smiles!
