1st grade has been learning about the Engineering Design Process. They had to design and construct the tallest free standing tower made out of Peeps and toothpicks while learning to work as a team! @PatriotsWalnut#teamwork

I'm so proud of 5th grade! Weeks of behind the scenes planning, designing, collaborating, creating, & coding went into this project. Students showcased all their hard work with a school wide Walnut Thanksgiving Day Parade! @PatriotsWalnut#EmporiaProud
From spider webs and pumpkin catapults, to Room on the Broom, the month of October in STREAM was a creative and fun month! #EmporiaProud@PatriotsWalnut
We have been celebrating Hispanic Heritage month and diving into the design process. Students were able to learn about Pelé and Frida Kahlo while creating foosball tables and unique paintbrushes! #EmporiaProud@carlyandadam@PatriotsWalnut
A lot of problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork happening today as we go through the engineering design process to build the tallest freestanding tower! @WalnutPatriots#emporiaproud
Hey teachers...don’t hide your #STEM & #making supplies...keep them visible so kids can create something whenever they are inspired & have free time!
What an excellent first day of school! It was wonderful seeing all of the students back in the building. Students got creative during STREAM class today by working together as a team to help “Save Fred”! #STEMeducation#EmporiaProud@PatriotsWalnut
Every Tuesday during back-to-school season, we'll be sharing a #PearDeck tip! 💡 Try this when using a Website Slide so your students can watch the video directly in the lesson with no pop-out tabs!
Shout-out to @Mo_physics & @JakeMillerTech for originally sharing this trick! 💛
Last month we engineered our own dog sleds alongside with learning about the Iditarod Race. Our “dogs” led our student created sleds through our own Iditarod Race. @theteacherfund#emporiaproud
Embedding a shared slide deck for breakout room discussions in @PearDeck is great because Ss don't need to open another tab/window and when I change slides, they're off the shared slides!
I can also name the version history for each period, restore old version, and reuse! 🙌🏼
