Look what came in the mail today! A couple months back our class wrote @POTUS to ask him some tough questions and to also send him some encouraging words. President Biden thank you for this inspiring letter. These kindergartners will forever hold onto this memory! @JustES_STEM

These kindergartners learned that authors take many months and even years to publish a book. They worked over a month researching, planning, writing, illustrating, and revising books all about animals. They also visited HeadStart to share their completed work! @JustES_STEM

Today in Kindergarten we introduced that objects fall down! We used @LEGO_Education STEAM Park and built a ramp to observe a car and a ball rolling down the ramp! @WeAreHAEST @JustES_STEM @HCPSElemScience @DerecaThomas

We have gotten an influx of new students recently so a review of our classroom procedures was in order. Kindergarten Bootcamp was a success! Students earned JAGS champion dog tags by following classroom and school wide procedures. So proud of these students! @JustES_STEM

Today in K we used STEAM Park to demonstrate the force push! Students observed how one push can lead to another push then drew and labeled what they observed! They loved it! @LEGO_Education @WeAreHAEST @TampaBaySTEM @DerecaThomas @HCPSElemScience
