First graders read “To Catch a Ghost” then steered Dash Robots through their own imaginary tale in Library classes today!

Robots took over the STEAM Lab this week! 🤖 K–5 students had a blast learning, creating, and problem-solving through hands-on robot challenges! @theTSIN @sumnerstem @LCEWolves @LCESTEAM
Liberty Creek 4th graders partnered with HOSA students from LCHS for heart dissections. Students were able to get a hands-on look at the heart and connect learning from their first ELA module about a great heart. @theTSIN @sumnerstem @LCEWolves @LCESTEAM
5th graders created their very own “Candy Salad” by combining different candies to explore the properties of a mixture. These scientists then experimented to create their own delicious solutions! @theTSIN @sumnerstem @LCEWolves @LCESTEAM
LCE's Environmental Science Club enjoyed learning about common birds of TN today a from Miss. Sherri from Birds Unlimited here in Hendersonville. The students learned about various bird feeders and feed for their backyard feathered friends. @theTSIN @sumnerstem @LCEWolves
STEAM Club is off to a great start! Students designed and created objects to relocate beads from one container to another. They had some creative ideas! @theTSIN @sumnerstem @LCEWolves @LCESTEAM
Second graders had some special visitors this week…BEES! Thank you, Mr. Vantrese, for teaching us about the inner workings of a bee hive! @theTSIN @sumnerstem @LCEWolves @LCESTEAM
Our 4th Grade curriculum explores both the literal and figurative meanings of a great heart. As a supplement to this unit and in conjunction with Liberty Creek High School Health Science Department, 4th Grade students learned Hands Only CPR with their PBL. @sumnerstem @theTSIN
We are Soarin’ with STEAM with our first challenge of the year! Students were asked to strategize as a team to move a balloon from one container to another without using their hands. @sumnerstem @theTSIN #LCESTEAM
Today students completed our final STEAM challenge for the year, “float into summer!” Teams were challenged to design a float that could hold various objects using craft or recycled materials. This was a fun way to end a great year of STEAM at LCE! @theTSIN @sumnerstem
February’s STEAM theme was “Making Waves Through FriendSHIP” and LCE students were hard at work today building boats that would float and hold various items. The only material they were given was aluminum foil, and their creations were impressive!! #LCESTEAM @theTSIN @sumnerstem
Steam club members at LCE participated in an engineering challenge to create a “puff mobile” that can travel at least 10 feet with three puffs of air. #LCESTEAM #STEAMCLUB @theTSIN
Our 5th graders blasted off in the planetarium! 🚀 They explored the moon and gravitational force while connecting directly to their space science standards. Hands-on learning makes the universe feel a little closer! 🌎✨ #STEM #SpaceScience @theTSIN
LCE Robotics Competition Team had an amazing first season. 4th and 5th graders built their own robots to compete in a game. We participated in four competitions. We learned a lot and had so much fun! @VEXRobotics
Today LCE completed our “waves of generosity” monthly steam challenge! After collecting donations for Feed Sumner, a local food bank, students raced to build the tallest freestanding tower of canned goods! What a fun way to use the EDP and help others in our community! @theTSIN
LCE students learned about static electricity and worked together to answer the question "Can you use a balloon to make a ghost dance or fly?" Using tissue paper ghosts students worked through the EDP in teams and then had a lot of fun testing their spooky creations! @theTSIN
Not only all students, but also all staff! Small moments of interaction lead to big results when everyone feels valued and part of the school team.
School culture is built moment by moment, interaction by interaction.
(Reminder via leader @EmilyAPaschall)
ALT "Culture isn’t just policies, procedures or relationships. It’s what happens when those things don’t work. It’s how we respond to ‘that kid.' It’s finding a way to reach every kid. Culture is doing whatever it takes to ensure all students succeed." —Leader Emily Paschall
2nd graders have been busy bees! Students were asked to design and build Bee hotels with recycled materials. We hope that in the future we can create places for bees to use as nesting sites near flowering plants here on our LC campus! @theTSIN @sumnerstem
First Graders completed their Quarter 1 PBL today. They created a mobile library that can transport books to kids around the world! @theTSIN @sumnerstem
