We did a different thing in steam today! Today our third and fourth grade engineers had to meet a challenge. We did a duct tape challenge, to build the lightest boat that can hold the most.@lakemyra @TeacherTucker2 #steam rocks #Synergizeatitsbest love my job.

Kinder is doing experiments this week and next in STEAM with a little help from our big kiddos. I’m forever grateful for our otter leaders in 5th grade. #steamrocks #itstimetoshine @lakemyra

When your seniors (5th) graders eat lunch with your every day. I will miss these kiddos so much. #lakefamisthebestfam! #itstimetoshine #5thgraders @lakemyra

⁦@lakemyra⁩ and our 2nd Science Olympians! Love how hard all go these kiddos worked from the beginning. We accomplished many things. 3 teams, 3-5th graders, and now Spirit Award Winners and medals in 5 events. So so so proud. Until next year. This is my why! #itstimetoshine

Rocket Launching has begun with 3rd & 4th grade. It’s fun & exciting. These kiddos actually pumped 10 times. Not easy to do. They did great! lost a few in the trees. #steamrocks #itstimetoshine #rocketlaunching @lakemyra @WendellMayor

@lakemyra how many 5th graders can fit down/on the slide before the bottom one falls off? I love it when they are kids. #letthembekids #laughteriscontagious #itstimetosharpenoursaw #happytrackout

@lakemyra it’s been a busy quarter all around our beautiful school. This is my why! #itstimetoshine #sharpenyoursaws. #trackoutisuponus #lovethesekiddos

5th graders from Ms. Burgess’s class outdoors today withy be fresh air to draw out body systems. Sometimes we need a different environment for thinking. @lakemyra #itstimetoshine #steamclassoutside #imaydothisforthweek

First graders built a balloon car last class time in STEAM so this week we are trying them out. They did great and had fun. ⁦@lakemyra⁩ #itstimetoshine#ballooncarsarefun #furtureengineers

5th graders working in their body systems project. They’re looking great and they will be human body systems experts for sure. #togetherisbetter ⁦@lakemyra⁩ #5thgradeleaders #steamrocks

Hey @NCSciOlympiad we are a packed house here @lakemyra prepping for our competition in March! I think these kids are serious.

Full house for Science Olympiad this morning! Love seeing these kiddos so focused (especially this early 🤣)! @thiggins_steam @lakemyra #ItsTimeToShine

Last week 1st graders learned about surface tension and tried to float paper clips on top of the water. We had some success. Can you make a paper clip float on water? #STEAMrocks #1stgradescientists #itstimetoshine #leadersinfirst ⁦@lakemyra⁩

I love watching students make a choice in STEAM that challenges them but they work together and enjoy it. ⁦@lakemyra⁩ #itstimetoshine #1stgradeotters #synergize #STEAMrocks

1st graders working on their creativity and engineering skill using different building toys like legos and K’Nex. #LIM #steamrocks #itstimetoshine ⁦@lakemyra⁩ #1stgradeleaders

This week in STEAM 2nd -5th graders building structures, or something useful or unique out of 12 index cards or 24 index cards. Some of these kiddos are so creative. Thinking outside the box. Saving the rabbit drawing for when it’s done. #itstimetoshine #Otterleaders @lakemyra

@Canes a little motivation from a sweet kindergartner!

@ctavares_20 @NCSciOlympiad @TheLeaderinMe @lakemyra @WCPSS My crew. They were amazing.
