Our second graders collaborated and used teamwork to save Sammy the gummy worm, as we welcome students back to the STEM lab! @CKELEM @AlexandriaSTEM @ACPSk12

🌎 Happy Earth Day! Our @CKELEM cougars are good stewards of our planet! @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM @AliceFerguson @AlexandriaVATES

First graders have been busy producers making goods for their classroom stores next week! @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @AlexandriaSTEM @ACPSk12

Our kinder cougars learned about how turtles change over time, looked for turtles in our Habitat and made observational drawings about turtles. We even saw a turtle come out of its winter tunnel! @CKelemPrincipal @AlexandriaSTEM @ACPSk12

Given a collection of animals, our @ckelem second graders determined and designed a habitat that included the animals’ food, water, shelter and space to live! @CKelemPrincipal @AlexandriaSTEM @ACPSk12

Welcome back, Tankini! Today we observed a box turtle emerging from her winter tunnel. Some brave students checked the tunnel’s depth! 😱 Spring is officially here at @CKELEM 🐢🌷! @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM

Our @CKELEM Cougar 🐾 students did a fantastic job representing our school @ACPSk12 school 🏫 board meeting tonight! I’m beyond proud of them! Thank you @CKelemSTEM @CoraKellyPTA for your support!

Our @CKELEM 3rd graders collaborated and used critical thinking skills to build water towers that stood 25cm above the table AND held 200g of water! @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM @CKelemPrincipal

Loving the creativity and positive interdependence as @CKELEM students build and code with Lego WeDo! @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM @CKelemPrincipal @Drubaru

Happy Principal Appreciation week to Ms. Crews who never misses a teachable moment or opportunity to connect with students. May the snow days this past week be your gift and bring you some rest and relaxation! ❤️ 🖤 @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12

Our @ckelem kinder-cougars explore how shadows occur in the STEM Lab! @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM @CKelemPrincipal

Great minds think alike! Siblings build similar successful towers during different sessions. @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @justthe4th @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM

Love the focus and feeling of accomplishment when students build their gingerbread towers. If it falls down, “we build it again!” @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM

Our annual gingerbread tower build was anticipated by many. Students developed many different creative solutions! @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM

Grateful for the creativity and joy our students bring to our school! They love learning about the engineering and problem solving behind the huge balloons at the @Macys parade. Happy Thanksgiving break to all! @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM #balloonsoverbroadway

Looking forward to this annual event!
