Lil Steamer Families --
Last week, I was fortunate to be asked to speak on the Regional Office of Education 47's Teacher Talk.
It is hosted by Anji Garza, Director of Professional Learning & Educational Services at ROE 47.
I enjoyed talking about my journey to administration, new changes happening at the Greatest Little Elementary School in the Universe, current concerns of the school year, and a few other topics.
If you would like to hear my ramblings, you can view the entire video below.
Have a great weekend!

BUBBLE DAY in KC
Full STEAM Ahead for Halloween in 2B!
Students in 2B recently had the opportunity to combine Halloween with their STEAM time. The students made Halloween light up cards. The students were able to choose from a variety of Halloween templates, color and custom their card choice, and then create interactive circuits. The students watched a short video and learned the very basics about electricity. They also learned that sometimes their circuits worked, and sometimes they didn’t, which took a little fine tuning. As an end result, their circuits were able to light up the eyes of their Halloween card. We appreciate Mr. Dail and Mrs. Piercy coming in to help us with this fun project! It was the perfect way to combine STEAM and Halloween!
Shout Out to Avaya and Ava in 4B!

Kindergarten through 4th grade students will have time to change into a costume prior to the parade. Costumes are not to be worn to school. 3rd and 4th graders do not participate in the parade, but may want to be in costume for their classroom activities.
