During STEAM class, the sixth grade students looked deep into understanding how native cultures view and value the earth and its resources while creating meaningful signs for our garden. The students displayed ever-expanding empathy and a desire to shift the world toward harmony and respect through each step of the process, from researching indigenous perspectives to learning how to run the drill press. I'm so proud of them and their teachers.

I received a sweet act of kindness and generosity from children's author and educator, Jeff Kubiak. Jeff sent me his three books; Monsters have Manners, It's Me, and One Drop of Kindness. We are beyond grateful, especially the third grade students reading them right now!

I love observing the joy on the faces of the fourth grade students as they define their Wildly Important Goals (WIG) and the actions needed to achieve their goals. Student goal setting yields positive results in so many ways.

The Cold Spring 1st grade students are modeling and exploring to build their understanding of how the earth rotates on its axis, and revolves around the sun. There was a collective gasp and "OOOOHHHHHHH!!" when they all realized that rotating the model counter-clockwise produces west leaning shadows in the morning, and east leaning shadows in the afternoon. They now understand WHY shadows are in different places thanks to the student-centered collaborative teaching from Dr. Gradias, STEAM Teacher, and Mrs. Carey, First Grade Teacher.

The Cold Spring 3rd grade students finished their rain gauges in adobe illustrator just in time for today's storm. The students considered tenths as fractions & decimals in order to construct their rulers for the rain gauges. I love the Math, Science and Art integration.
