“Ms. Hayes this is how much you inspire me to work hard!” We had some fun in math today- what started with 3 digit x 2 digit ended like this and I couldn’t be more proud ❤️ Ps calculator was just to check!

Today I was a teacher but my ‘class’ was my principal and colleagues! The lesson was a reflective piece on group work and we may have had too much fun 🤓 What a wonderful morning! @oakgrovees @bevbOtterP @kpewade

The 5th grade team + Ms. Shearin took on the NC State Math Summit today! It was so interesting being on the ‘other side’ as a learner - it really helped me reflect and refresh! I can’t wait to share what I learned with my students and colleagues 🤓❤️ @oakgrovees @kpewade

Check out this Otterly amazing 5th Grade Team! They are going to do great things this year! Looking forward to watching your student leaders grow and learn! #Otterleaders #itsbetteratthegrove @oakgrovees

Book Character Day at school, so 5th grade went with letters and numbers... #ChickaChickaBoomBoom #MathCurse

Learning about the musculoskeletal system has been so much fun! Can’t wait to continue learning on Monday with @OtterBeIn5th’s great ideas 💡 🤩 @oakgrovees

@otterstoreys “When in doubt, draw it out!” ❤️

Sometimes you just have to picture it! These 2nd graders worked on their problem solving skills by drawing their problem out.

My 5th graders created really cool biomes for our ecosystems unit. @WentzsKindaroos came to support them! She brought her class and my students were able to show off their hard work! Thank you Ms. Wentz for acknowledging their hard work ❤️ @oakgrovees

Davis had a wonderful cheering section!! Thank you @OtterBias - I am so thrilled to spotlight my kiddo for his hard work and kindness

A beautiful way to start a Monday ❤️ Thank you @OtterBias and @JoTysor for your support and encouragement! @oakgrovees

Yesterday we celebrated the first day of fall! @OtterBeReading pulled some awesome books for us to enjoy as we talked about story structures and plot lines while enjoying a fun snack 🍁😋 @oakgrovees @OtterBias @JoTysor

@OtterBeReading @MrsEmblerK @oakgrovees @OtterBias @JoTysor I have some 5th graders that would be happy to help put them up 😊

@MrsEmblerK @oakgrovees @OtterBias @JoTysor I still have so many to add!

Happy Dot Day! 🔴🔵 Thank you to @OtterBeReading for the whole school project for Dot Day! The Kinders loved designing their dots and were excited to see them displayed on the doors of the Media Center! @oakgrovees @OtterBias @JoTysor #itsbetterinthegrove

Dot day!

When Ms. Storey is your cheerleader, anything is possible!! (Even multi digit multiplication!) 👏🤓 So thankful for you @otterstoreys ❤️ #EveryOtterEveryDay @oakgrovees @OtterBias @JoTysor

If you didn’t get slimed by 5th graders this afternoon, are you even living your best life? We found joy in the journey at Oak Grove. Congratulations @MsHayesOG for winning Track 1&4 challenge. @oakgrovees @PTAOakGrove

Ultimate rock, paper, scissors with the Apex REMIX team. Mrs. Hayes vs. Mrs. Hathaway/Hoyles 🪨 📃 ✂️ I think we all won with some outdoor fun!

Help my son Jacob discover the mystery of the X-Factor this year! #fundraiser myapexevent.com/xp3914?sv=1&ut…

Thrilled to call these ladies my teammates 🥰 #matchingmugs #dreamteam @OtterBeIn5th @kpewade @oakgrovees

One of my students surprised me with this Wonder Woman superhero keychain 🤩 As a teacher sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the paperwork and feeling of being overwhelmed but at the end of the day, it’s all 👏 about 👏 the 👏 kids ❤️ and they are SO worth it! 🦸‍♀️

Ss had a deep discussion on human rights and analyzed the Universal Declaration for Human Rights. These wonderful kids were respectful & powerful in their discussions. On their own, as were brainstorming ways to help others and ensure all humans have = access to rights ❤️
