This week the kids took their first field trip and for many of them it was their first adventure in the woods! @RES_RSSS @Muddy_Sneakers_

The kids had the BEST time measuring and calculating the volume of different rectangular prisms they found around the school today @RES_RSSS

Most of my kid’s favorite moments from this week were tied to finding out which house they were in and as the week went on finding out what houses their friends are in @RES_RSSS

Great Day 1 Muddy Sneakers! The kids learned how to be safe when we start our expeditions in the woods in a few weeks and played some fun games with Annie and Lucy! @RES_RSSS

Moment of the Week- Though the kids favorite thing we did this week was making slime, my favorite was how they reacted to our chemical reaction bottle experiment. #chemicalreactions @RES_RSSS

Week 2- the kids struggled to come up with a “moment of the week”- I��m going to try next week to remind them to look for moments, might help to show them some pictures from the week and let them pick. Here are a few moments from this week that I think stick out @mywhitson

Today the kids learned how to use Google Sheets to create bar graphs with the data they collected surveying their classmates on Friday. @RES_RSSS

I plan on having my kids vote on the “Moment of the Week” this year, but since it’s the 1st week, I’ll pick. Save “Fred”. Lots of laughter, communication, and encouragement from every group. It was great to see all the kids begin to feel a sense of belonging in our class 💜🚀

Today @RES_RSSS had to say goodbye to the great @mywhitson , we will miss her, but are so proud of her for all the hard work she has put in to start her journey as an administrator 💜🚀

We won the first game of the kickball tournament. We went through 7 innings of game 2 with no score, so we’ll have to try that again tomorrow 🤣 @RES_RSSS

Our 5th Grade Rockets got to hang out with our kindergarten Rockets in Mrs Burrage &Mrs Waller’s class. @RES_RSSS

Played SPRINT today to review for the Math EOG next week. Some of the kids said they ran more today than they do in PE. 🤣⭐️💜🚀 @RES_RSSS

Star Wars Day science EOG review! @RES_RSSS

Another fantastic GOTR 5K! So proud of these girls and my fabulous team of coaches. I can’t believe it was Ava’s last one as a Girl on the Run…unless someone @ChinaGroveMS wants to start a Heart and Sole team next year 🤞⭐️

[Gina Ritchie @RESritchie]

The last practice of my 20th season of Girls on the Run! Next stop my 20th GOTR 5K @RES_RSSS

The kids made solar ovens today to review heat transfer. Be sure to stop them in the hall and have them explain how radiation, conduction, & convection helped them make smores! @RES_RSSS

@MrsBurnettRES @RES_RSSS @EastRowanHS @JenniferWarden5 @TonyaBGerman This makes my heart so happy! I coached both of these girls @GOTRI
