It’s been a busy week in STEM: cabbage from our garden for STEM Clubbers, life cycle of oak trees for 2nd graders, insulators for 3rd grade, and space for k-2 class! It’s been busy, but good!! Enjoy your weekend, families! Hampton Elementary School

Eclipse Day 2024 was full of information, eclipse art, and viewing fun! Hampton Elementary School NASA STEM Rabieh Hafza PhD

The HES 2024 Olympics are in full “force” in honor of National STEM day! Learning about physics, cooperation, following directions, and having fun is the name of the game! #STEMHenry Hampton Elementary School

Engaged scientist collaborating and writing about minerals & their properties. Sometimes the best technology isn’t a computer and internet - it’s paper, pencil, and communication skills! Hampton Elementary School

Intentional coding in 2nd grade while practicing position (a force & motion unit word that got some of them)! Had to get their pilgrim to Plymouth Rock & these guys did it. Hampton Elementary School

This might be my favorite quote: “We did it together!” - Cute Kindergartener. They are learning about force through literacy (Ricky the Rock Who Couldn’t Roll) & problem solving (they had to use materials to make their own rock roll down a hill). It really was fun! Hampton Elementary School

The STEAM lab has been busy these past few weeks: 1st grade wind vanes (and blue prints), fizzy rainbows for the pre-k class, engineering lessons and building houses for kindergarten, and 5th grade Vex Vertebrates. Hampton Elementary School

It was a wonderful Tappletons’ Thanksgiving in 1st grade with Dr. Shunda Walker reading one of her favorites and a student volunteering to say the blessing. We have so much to be thankful for! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm #drivenbysuccess

Proof that not giving up pays off! So proud of this little guy for wanting to lead and read today. RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm #drivenbysuccess

Her: “Ms. Foster I can’t read this.”
Me: “Try!” Imagine all the things we could do if we just tried! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm #drivenbysuccess

Writing about and making pizzas one day, to group work with our main topic mystery bags, and ending with a little kindness photo session ➡️ Has made for a busy week in 1st grade! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm #drivenbysuccess

When the early arrivers finish their morning work before everyone else, you let the “little teacher” review spelling words with them! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm #drivenbysuccess

We don’t play with Problem of the Day! Just a couple of my standout POTD performers! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm #drivenbysuccess

We all had SMILEY behavior today!! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm #drivenbysuccess

Everyone is HAPPY for these kiddos for going up a level on their sight word list!!! RCE_HCS #FueledbyEnthusiasm

From emergency drills to math skills - this Wednesday was busy and productive! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm

If I had to give this post a name, it would be “books and bows”! What’s really going on here is these 1st graders were determining if their books were fiction or non fiction - and they did an awesome job! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm #teamwork

🎉Cheers🎉 to learning how to open your own milk! School’s not just for academics, you know?! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm #lifeskills

Just a little math action going on in room 205! Frameworks, number charts, and dice…oh my! RCE_HCS #fueledbyenthusiasm

There will always be work, but my parents won’t always been this youthful and my niece and nephew this little. Take time to dine with those you love! #RCEWellnessChallenge #fueledbyenthusiasm SBibbs RCE_HCS
