This past week was a great one of learning and teaching. From PE to Pre-K, I got to see students showcase their learning. Even Extended Day Students presented their capstone. #ThePlaceWhereTheMagicHappens @jasonjstamper @Whitaker_HES

Special thanks to our PTA and The Brass Tap Hapeville for giving our Custodians a special gift for their hard work! #ThePlaceWhereTheMagicHappens @jasonjstamper @Whitaker_HES @shortrollins

Math Fact Tug‑O‑War was a HIT today! Students were shouting answers, cheering each other on, and reinforcing their math fact fluency without even realizing it. 🔢💥 Huge thanks to @TheBestEducator for sharing the idea. Our students LOVED it! 🙌 @DrCSLPadgett @Whitaker_HES

51 miles later! Gr8 reflection points 2day. It was hot, direct sunlight,& hills… the marchers in 1965 didnt wear running shorts, tanks/tshirts, or running shoes. For the most part, they had on their Sunday Best! Hard race, but def gr8ful 4 the experience. #selmatomontgomeryrelay

Estimating & Measuring Angles! *Chef’s Kiss 💋 @DrCSLPadgett @FultonCoSchools @hapevillehawks

Real plants. Real scientists. 🌼🌲 5th graders observed moss, a giant fern, a pine tree, and lilies to classify plants based on their structures. Learning by doing! #WheretheMagicHappens @DrCSLPadgett @Whitaker_HES

Tell me you're a science teacher without telling me you're a science teacher..... There will be signs🤣🐸 @GaDOEScience #STEM #WheretheMagicHappens

Again, this week was amazing! The kids at a great time at Tybee&learning more about animals, plants,& classification as well as the relationships btwn the organisms. Check out the video for highlights! @jasonjstamper @Whitaker_HES @gweaks2025 @tagscheifflee #wherethemagichappens

What a gr8 day w 5th grade TAG students at Tybee Island’s Burton 4-H Center! @HesJshaw would be so proud of the experiences w animal classification the kids experienced today! @gweaks2025 thank you for organizing this experience #wherethemagichappens @jasonjstamper @Whitaker_HES

🐟💥 Real science! Real specimens! Real learning! Our 5th graders investigated fish as vertebrates with a sardine “dissection,” building classification skills. Hands‑on = minds‑on! 🧠 #WheretheMagicHappens @DrCSLPadgett @Whitaker_HES

12th half marathon is done and in the books! One thing I can say about #atlanta is it will always present hills if nothing else! Debating on doing the full, but these hills 😂 #blackmenrunatl #moversandpacers #werunatl #fitleaders #fiteducator

A little late but I think Chat got me well lol

This past Thursday, we took a moment to have our Black History Celebration: 100 Years of Commemoration. From highlighting @PaschalsLegacy to celebrating those in the field of STEM, there was programming on each hall so everyone could experience the magic! #wherethemagichappens

Decimal Shopping - A 3 Part Culminating Task that my students loveddddd! @DrCSLPadgett @FultonCoSchools @hapevillehawks
