Amalia, a 5th-grade student, and KidOyO Sprite Expert came in this morning to assist our MS team with their Hackathon Project. She helped our team create their digital artwork! #RamCulture #RamTeamwork @whufsdrams @CanUCode
Mrs. Sheehy's class is earning grammar bucks to ensure they are practicing their non-negotiables. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to earn prizes for their editing skills! @whufsdrams @mrsandrejko #RamCulture
They escaped! These writers had to work together to save their “right to argue.” Today served as an introduction to our next unit of study, argumentative writing. There were a lot of great discussions to identify evidence to support claims and to build powerful arguments.
Ms. Kopping’s 5th-grade students gained firsthand experience in iterating, an important aspect of engineering. To iterate means to try something again using what you learned. These engineers made adjustments to their freshwater systems to ensure that they accurately fit the criteria. We cannot wait to see how much water we can collect now!
George Washington's 5th-grade band students are practicing and learning with Mr. Heckler! @whufsdrams #RamCulture
March is Women’s History Month. To honor important women and their influence in the world, Ms. Kopping's class choose one woman to research and learn more about. Then they designed a stamp in their honor and explained why they should be celebrated for their accomplishments in history. @whufsdrams #RamCulture
Our Student Council students along with Mrs. Ragusa spent the afternoon organizing all of the food our school donated. They were able to put together 15 large boxes for the Key Club pantry! @whufsdrams #RamCulture
Ms. Kopping's 5th-grade water resource engineers have been hard at work! They worked collaboratively to plan and create freshwater systems. They learned about the design cycle that engineers use to solve problems and are testing their systems to see how effective they are at collecting freshwater from saltwater. @whufsdrams #RamCulture
đź“ŁShoutout to our District's Superintendent's Student Advisory Council who were featured in this week's Herald for their fantastic presentation to our Board of Education members! @whufsdrams #RamCulture #RamPride
Students in Mr. Hume's 6th grade ELA classes are working on writing their conclusions. @whufsdrams #RamCulture
Congratulations to our Olympic competitors! @whufsdrams #RamCulture
Mrs. Holtkamp & Ms. Koppings ELA class took a trip down the hall to visit Ms. Reetz's class biography posters. After learning more about the biography subjects, they left positive comments on their peer's work. We now have great ideas for our own posters. @whufsdrams #RamCulture
In Ms. Kopping's fifth-grade science class, we explored the phenomena of evaporation and how that plays a major role in the formation of raindrops. We cannot wait to continue our work as water resource engineers! @whufsdrams @Amplify #RamCulture
In STELLAR Ms. Connor's 4th graders worked together to create an animated Sprite of sedimentary rock formations. Positive feedback and supporting comments were heard throughout the library. @whufsdrams @Amplify @CanUCode #RamCulture
In Mrs. Kachejian’s ELA classes, we study the biographies of strong women throughout history. @whufsdrams #RamCulture
Were the Articles of Confederation strong enough to govern the young United States? The Krazy Koppings’ are trying to solve problems that are occurring in their 13 states, but they are realizing that not much can get done! What solution did they come up with? The Constitution! @whufsdrams #RamCulture
Congratulations to George Washington's Superintendent's Student Advisory Council. They along with the district's other council members presented at the Board of Education last night. @whufsdrams #RamCulture
Ms. Kopping’s 5th grade science classes are using their knowledge as “water resource engineers” to create models that explain what is going on at the nanoscale when condensation is occurring. Using digital models helps us to illustrate our learning and to be able to share with others.
The students in Mrs. Kachejian’s science class
communicated the results of our investigation with clarity and precision! @whufsdrams #RamCulture
Mr. Cangemi visited George Washington today and brought along the zSpace computers. Our fourth graders got to experience a 3D view of Colonial America while using the zSpace. They are looking forward to using this exciting technology again! @whufsdD @whufsdrams #RamCulture
