V is for vase. We used foil to create a vase that will hold a “flower” without it tipping over. We learned that crumpling the foil made it very difficult to re-use. We had to consider height, weight, and practice perseverance. What a fun STEM lesson!

Two days ago, I decided to stop doing the dishes. I make all the dinners and I am tired of having to do all the cleaning too. SINCE THEN this pile has appeared and at some point they are going to run out of spoons and cups and plates. Who will blink first? Not me.

Today students in Room 21 completed the Granite State Fit Kids program & received their certificates.The students did lots of fun activities such as making a model of a lung, using a stethoscope to listen to their hearts & simulating how digestion works.Thank you, Mrs. Pepin!

How do we engage parents in our Ss learning? One way is to hold a grade level morning meeting showcasing our learning and Learner Profile! #spsheart #SPSParentEngagement

So many true role models in the world. I’m inspired! wbur.org/npr/680883772/…

Sometimes, what students need most, is a cheerleader... someone they know is in their corner. Sometimes, that’s what teachers need too.

Our class botanists did a great job!

The students really enjoyed examining the internal and external structures of plants.

With the back-to-school madness in full swing, it's important to take a step back and assess your kids' schedule. You may be surprised to learn that a too-busy schedule can do more harm than good. Find out why: buff.ly/2oeyxNw

Rest In Peace, Mr. Martin. Your legacy of kindness, open arms, optimism and excellence will forever be the soundtrack of Campbell High School.

We absolutely should teach that progress is often difficult, frustrating and even littered with failure. Our students must learn to push through difficulties, face their frustrations and learn from failures. It is our job to give them strategies they can employ.

The best education does not prepare students for a test… or for a college… or for a job. It prepares them to keep learning.
