Congratulations to our Student Council March Madness winners! @FSD79 @MrsTemple18

Flying into another months worth of preparation for the regional invitational! Shout out to our Science Olympiad Varsity and JV teams for competing last weekend at Thomas Middle School and placing in 4 events!

Shoutout to @missozimek205 for making the Color Run a huge success!!

Today is “Dress Like Your Favorite Teacher” day and we are decked out in purple because we love @JackiMjoen! Shout out to our favorite Wildcat who continues to show us all what strength and determination really looks like! WE MISS YOU! 💜💚 #together79

Today we made a “pot of gold” out of pennies to celebrate St. Patrick’s day and to introduce our chemistry unit! @FSD79

Keeping it cool today by creating insulators to keep the firefighters(chocolate) from melting! Loved seeing the pride from their successful creations! @FSD79 (Shout out to my colleagues that created this awesome lab activity)

Do you know what a “trebuchet” is? Our Science Olympiad students know!!! 💚 #together79

Ending the week with our Science Olympiad team was terrific!!! 💚

Stop needing the last word. 2nd to last word is best for hard to reach kids. #thatonekid

7th graders tested their ability to keep Homer alive by maintaining “homer-ostasis”. Students had to keep Homer’s temperature, fluid level, and fluid color constant…just like the human body systems have to do to keep our body “happy”! @FSD79

Successful Science Olympiad kickoff!Today’s mini engineering challenge had students building the tallest notecard tower — the challenge about it was they could only get notecards after they found out things they had in common with their group. Great first day! @FSD79

Structure/function relationships using microscopes in 7th grade! Designing their own labs based on scientific questions in 8th grade! Fun all around! @FSD79

Shout out to the MHS Science Olympiad team for bringing this fun forensics lab! Thank goodness it wasn’t our two suspects Miss Hengesh or Ms. Winkelman that stole the cookies! 🍪🧪

So much fun making elemental dating puns with these kids all day!

New favorite tool! Such a quick and easy way to see that students are understanding the demos we do in class! https://t.co/WQVGJcDZ1s will be a huge help as we discover more about space! @FSD79

“Awesome experience” does not even begin to describe the impact Kendra made on these 6th graders today! We had a volcanologist come and visit our classes today as we are learning about why volcanoes form, what causes them to erupt, and what can we do to prevent damage! @FSD79

Thanks so much for joining our Flex Trey @tmbcrossover7! Your message resonated with the kids and myself. We must regularly think about our why in order to be driven towards our goals. We can’t wait till you come back and leave another lasting impression! @FSD79

#FSD79 eighth graders have been learning about human impact on the environment. Lake County native Micah Helle, a hydroponic farmer with Pillsbury United Communities, gave the students a virtual tour of the urban agriculture facility.

I sure do love working with this collaborative and sweet group of kids! Looking forward to seeing how their projects come together! 💚🖤

Great morning walking in the 🌧 to help support the @MundeleinHS BSU ending gun violence. ❤️
