Our second graders collaborated and used teamwork to save Sammy the gummy worm, as we welcome students back to the STEM lab! @CKELEM @AlexandriaSTEM @ACPSk12

🌎 Happy Earth Day! Our @CKELEM cougars are good stewards of our planet! @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM @AliceFerguson @AlexandriaVATES

First graders have been busy producers making goods for their classroom stores next week! @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @AlexandriaSTEM @ACPSk12

Our kinder cougars learned about how turtles change over time, looked for turtles in our Habitat and made observational drawings about turtles. We even saw a turtle come out of its winter tunnel! @CKelemPrincipal @AlexandriaSTEM @ACPSk12

Given a collection of animals, our @ckelem second graders determined and designed a habitat that included the animals’ food, water, shelter and space to live! @CKelemPrincipal @AlexandriaSTEM @ACPSk12

Welcome back, Tankini! Today we observed a box turtle emerging from her winter tunnel. Some brave students checked the tunnel’s depth! 😱 Spring is officially here at @CKELEM 🐢🌷! @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM

Our @CKELEM Cougar 🐾 students did a fantastic job representing our school @ACPSk12 school 🏫 board meeting tonight! I’m beyond proud of them! Thank you @CKelemSTEM @CoraKellyPTA for your support!

@CKELEM 2nd graders turned a solid into a liquid using heat! @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM @CKelemPrincipal @UpCycleCRC

Our @CKELEM 3rd graders collaborated and used critical thinking skills to build water towers that stood 25cm above the table AND held 200g of water! @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM @CKelemPrincipal

Loving the creativity and positive interdependence as @CKELEM students build and code with Lego WeDo! @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM @CKelemPrincipal @Drubaru

Happy Principal Appreciation week to Ms. Crews who never misses a teachable moment or opportunity to connect with students. May the snow days this past week be your gift and bring you some rest and relaxation! ❤️ 🖤 @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12

Our @ckelem kinder-cougars explore how shadows occur in the STEM Lab! @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM @CKelemPrincipal

Great minds think alike! Siblings build similar successful towers during different sessions. @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @justthe4th @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM

Love the focus and feeling of accomplishment when students build their gingerbread towers. If it falls down, “we build it again!” @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM

Our annual gingerbread tower build was anticipated by many. Students developed many different creative solutions! @CKELEM @CKelemPrincipal @ACPSk12 @AlexandriaSTEM

@williamramsayes What a great force and motion field trip!

Our 5th graders had an amazing trip to Top Golf! They worked on an experiment to determine which golf club could hit the ball the farthest!
