Wow! I'm a finalist for the @chatechcouncil 2023 Tech Educator of the Year! I 💚 my job -> supporting teachers and students in using tech as a tool for learning through #STEM #TechX2023

4th grade went on a field trip to The Chattanoogan Hotel for a Reading Rally! Students and teachers were showered with 5 star service. S’s wrote a book with a local author last year in their Library class and everyone got a copy of that book they helped write today!

5th graders showing out with their extra PE class this week! Rhythm, coordination, counting, and cooperation all on display on this fun challenge! Thank you mrsortosclass on TikTok for the idea! #WoodMoreLeads

Cosmic bowling was back in the @WoodmoreEagles gym this week! We had a blast working on our rolling skills while under laser lights. Equipment and lights came from a #DonorsChoose project last year. #WoodMoreLeads #Joy

#12DaysOfCode This actually goes back to our first lesson with Vex123 robots, using the buttons on the robot to get it to go around a square. Love their excitement when it worked. #BootUpPD ⁦@equityinCSEd⁩

#12DaysofCode This was a Vex123 challenge to get the robot around the square only using the coder deck. I didn’t have a solution. These girls figured out one. #BootUpPD @equityinCSEd

As we near the end of #12DaysOfCode, we used the Hide command to show subtraction. #BootUpPD @equityinCSEd

#12DaysofCoding #BootUpPD @equityinCSEd these two 3rd graders figured out a solution to a challenge I didn’t think had a solution. I’ll admit my lack of knowledge and proclaim how proud I am of them. Apparently it’s all about using the command “go to start” which acts as a Loop.

@BootUpPD @penneyspages Congratulations @pletbetter! 😊

We studied the internal function of stems in plants this week! My scholars loved seeing the celery change over time as the water traveled through the plant.

When you have the best of the best you have a “Dress Like Upton” day and a parade to honor our rockstar. Happy Principal Month and Boss Day!! @DUpton1234

Extreme rainfall and rapid rises on area rivers in Puerto Rico is clawing bridges from their pylons and carrying them down river. Puerto Rico’s infrastructure — electrical and transportation — isn’t equipped to handle this amount of water. Totals of 15-25 inches likely.
