6th graders tested water quality from local streams today! Then they repeated the tests with wastewater from the sink in our classroom.
6th graders @HuntValleyES investigated examples of chemical and physical weathering around the school grounds today!
I used this today for a math warm up! First we figured out how to get 4.7 with a syringe that counts by 5ths, then we made a ratio table to compare the amount given over the 10 day pd. They say write what you know, and I know strep throat meds 🙄😂

6th graders @HuntValleyES had a special visitor from the @IntlSpyMuseum today! They had the chance to “playtest” an activity for the museum, and the energy in the room was electric ⚡️! We loved seeing them think through the problem in so many creative and unique ways.
I was SO proud to have a former @HuntValleyES student from my very first year of teaching (2009-2010😬) share about her job at Career Day today! She’s a concept artist for movies and video games. It’s as cool as it sounds!
Delegates from Georgia and Massachusetts signing the Constitution at today’s Constitutional Convention!
6th grade math students @HuntValleyES love a chance to write on the tables! Today they rocked solving and representing one step equations.
A @HuntValleyES 6th grader asked if he could teach math for a day l, and I was more than happy to oblige! He wore a tie and he’s starting us off with @Estimation180 and @mr_stadel 🥰.
I’m loving reading Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics! We’ve tried out vertical learning spaces and they really do change the game. It’s a quick version and not the VNPS of the book, but even this slow start prompted changes in thinking! #thinkingclassroom @HuntValleyES
6th graders @HuntValleyES shared their colonial travel brochures in a cross-classroom gallery walk today. Love seeing their creative and critical thinking!😊
At the end of our unit, here are their astronomy questions! The questions keep coming, and they’re all awesome. @HuntValleyES sixth graders are great critical and creative thinkers 😊
Every year I’m amazed at the questions my students have about astronomy. Today there was a line 4 deep in the middle of a lesson 😂. We had to add a page!
Well this is just cool
Fascinating -- researchers created a model of the ocean response from the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. The asteriod produced waves up to ONE MILE HIGH and a "megatsunami" that went around the world. Read more: wapo.st/3MZIgSJ
