Thanks @SuptMontgomery for taking time out of your busy schedule and joining our science class and working collaboratively with students as they explored Newton’s First Law.
I am finishing this last day of June relaxed and ready to transition to the K-12 Assistant Superintendent role. I am honored to continue to serve the @LFHS_LakeForest and @LakeForestSD67 communities. Thanks to @drjeffmchugh and @SuptMontgomery for all their support on my journey
7th graders apply forces, motion & energy as they build functional roller coasters. With a $450K budget, they're mastering teamwork & STEM skills through hands-on learning & managing $ to stay under budget. Can't wait for their sales pitches! Thank you @spiritof67LF for the kits
While 3D designing, these STEM students are pushing their boundaries, thinking outside the box, and taking risks with their ideas making a bobblehead and a ball game using @tinkercad @LakeForestSD67 @WeAreDeerPath
Jackson qualified for Team Illinois and an opportunity to wrestle at the national tournament. Support his journey by buying a raffle ticket. Tickets are $20 and will pay out $100 each day in August. You can Zelle payment to tpalzet@comcast.net. We will send your tickets US mail.
Many thanks to @LitsaKapsalis, a former student, currently studying Bio-engineering @Harvard, who dropped by my classroom yesterday and spoke to my students. It is always great to see and hear what my former students are up to. So proud of you Litsa! @LakeForestSD67
Impressed by the ingenuity of these students who designed crash barriers to minimize the effect of collisions. Many thanks to @spiritof67LF for their generous grant that allowed the acquisition of Vernier cart systems used in this Engineering Design Lab #WeAreDeerPath#LFMoments
7th graders learned about Momentum & Energy transfer, as well as elastic & Inelastic collisions. Next class: students will design and test crash barriers. Can’t wait to see how they apply their learning in this engineering design challenge #WeAreDeerPath @LakeForestSD67
What a fun way to end the first week of IAR testing with friendly competitions and games between homerooms. Love the spirit and enthusiasm of the amazing Rahman Homeroom students #WeAreDeerPath#LFMoments
Thanks to Mrs Ryon for sharing “Quiz, Quiz,Trade” a cooperative-learning strategy in which students review information with other students by asking/answering questions. Helps build confidence in a nonthreatening manner & encourages participation & deeper understanding #LFMoments
The Greek Mathematician Archimedes will be so proud of these 7th graders who designed, built and tested their boats to carry the most load of “gems”. Enjoyed the enthusiasm, passion and application of buoyancy in this engineering design challenge #WeAreDeerPath#LFMoments
So proud of our 7th graders-they conducted research, experimented with types of friction & factors that affect friction. Ss ended this activity by designing tire treads that would fare well in wet conditions. Ss collected data & analyzed their designs to recommend the best tires
I have finally completed my journey with a superintendent’s licensure and a doctoral degree. Woah. We all started pre-COVID while I doing homework at my dad’s bedside and I completed my journey today by defending my dissertation remotely. I know my dad was watching♥️
Our 7th graders experienced flight and indoor skydiving at @iFLYChicago and participated in STEM and science activities-Had a blast #LFMoments@LakeForestSD67
