Visiting the word wall in Mrs. Kachejian’s science class to prepare to write a scientific explanation. @whufsdrams #RamCulture

Students in Ms. Fellows' 4th grade are finishing their science unit on vision and light by building vision models. Students are building models of an eye with either high-sensitivity or low-sensitivity light receptors to demonstrate their understanding of how different animals see better during the day or during the night. @whufsdrams #RamCulture

March Homeroom Challenges at George Washington

Mr. Hume's sixth grade students are working in small groups to uncover the mystery surrounding King Tut's death. Was it natural causes...or foul play? @whufsdrams #RamCulture

Penelope was inspired by our author's visit yesterday! She created her own poem and was awarded a Habits of Mind Certificate for her creative imagination.@whufsdrams #Ramculture

"GW students kept their hearts healthy this week by jumping rope in the Kids Heart Challenge!" @whufsdrams #Ramculture

GW court is in session!! Mrs. Mottola and Ms. Longo’s SS classes entered the GW court today! Judges ruled in the favor of “King Tut died of natural causes!” A job well done to all Ss for researching and debating while applying the habits of mind! 👏 @WhufsdRams

Students in Grade 5 along with Ms. Challenor & Ms. Reetz's classes had the opportunity to participate in the Kids Heart Challenge during recess today! @GWPhysEd @KidsHeartChall @whufsdrams #RamCulture

Things are heating up in Ms. Kopping’s Social Studies Class!! The students spent two days researching and collaborating so that they could debate whether the Salem Witch Trials were fair or unfair. They did so well using Accountable Talk moves to present counterarguments and rebuttals to further the conversation.

Mrs. Dato's 4th graders are deep into their PBL unit! Today in STELLAR they got to spend some time creating and designing their Biome websites on Google Sites! @whufsdrams @WHRamTech #RamCulture

We are celebrating all we have learned in our second unit of science, Modeling Matter, with a salad dressing tasting party! These 5th graders have worked extremely hard as “food scientists” to find ingredients that have the properties necessary to produce a salad dressing with the ideal properties; great flavor, no sediments, and a nice texture. We spent a lot of time down at the ‘nanoscale’ to do this! Great work food scientists!

Our Student Council met with county executives who organized this year's Valentine for Veterans initiative. Our students created lovely cards for those who served our country. @whufsdrams #RamCulture

Today, Mrs. Reetz’s students acted as experts in Tinkercad while Mrs. Kachejian’s class tried it out in STELLAR class! @whufsdrams #RamCulture

The weather today is perfect for an Arctic Adventure with Mrs. Byrne's class! @whufsdrams #RamCulture
