Welcome to my new classroom at @LostMountainMS! Looking forward to making this room a home and getting the year started!

After 9 years in 5th grade (13 in elementary altogether!), I’m finally moving on to middle school! Last week I packed up my elementary classroom for the last time and am getting ready to teach 8th grade at @LostMountainMS. I’m incredibly excited for this new journey! #Iteach8th

Last week these bright minds officially finished elementary school! It’s amazing the changes that can happen in a year. Wishing them the best of luck as they move into middle school!

The rain may have cut the morning short, but we still had a BLAST at field day!

We had a blast on our tour of @TruistPark! Thank you @Braves and our AWESOME tour guide Tyler!

(180 x 5) + 100 = 1,000 days of school! We had so much fun celebrating this milestone today. These 5th graders are 1,000 days smarter! @CobbMathDept @d_lanilovesmath

These kids love a great hands on science activity. There were so many great discussions and creative ideas that went into their edible cells today. They know their organelles! It was another fabulous day in 5th! @cobbscience

After a spirited debate in class yesterday, one of my students was determined to convince his classmates that a hot dog IS in fact a sandwich. He prepared a presentation and even came with a hands on demonstration! I may be officially convinced! @TracyAMatthews @CobbAlp

It’s game day and we are so excited to cheer on our @Braves!

Today we put what we’ve been learning about the engineering design process to the test! Students designed, tested, and improved their paper airplanes to see how far we can get them to fly. The winner flew over 35 feet! This is a class of budding engineers! @STEMcobb @CobbScience

One of my favorite activities every year - using the scientific method to figure out how old Mrs. Baker is! They always ask great questions and always figure it out. We use the scientific method more often than we realize! @cobbscience

Today we talked about our honest feelings about math but this book reminded everyone how important it is. Some of us love it, some of us don’t, but all of us need math! #iteachmath

One of the coolest things about being a teacher is seeing your former students go on to do amazing things. Congratulations @ConnorLew1!

First #STEM challenge of the year complete! The task was to create a cup pyramid without touching the cups. Given only string and a rubber band, everyone found innovative ways to get the job done! @STEMcobb

Happy first day of school! It is going to be a great year!

The Arts Integration in AC Math session was amazing! Who knew art was so easy to add to math instruction?! Thank you @michelletin1! #engagecobb

@CobbSchools teachers are BACK! This @breakoutEDU session was awesome! #engagecobb

Hard to believe the first day of school is only 3 weeks away! From pencils and markers to manipulatives and books, my classroom wish list is full of needs for my students this year. I would love if you could help me #clearthelist! a.co/8w6xMZa

@VictoriaTheTech is changing my life today with all the Microsoft Math Tools! The #CobbInTechCon has been awesome!
