Camden County Schools -

🌟 Exciting News from Mamie Lou Gross Elementary School! 🌟 Students at Mamie Lou Gross have the opportunity to participate in STEM class as one of their specials this year! STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In this class, students collaborate to solve problems, think critically to find solutions, and use their creativity to develop new items. We are thrilled to announce that Mamie Lou Gross has partnered with DoD STEM FIRST to provide LEGO kits for our students to use in STEM class. These kits offer students the freedom to free build and also introduce them to coding and LEGO robotics. Last week, MLG’s talented 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders created intricate LEGO mazes in STEM class, complete with challenging obstacles. Great work, students! 🚀🔧📚 #BElieveinCAMDEN #WeAreCamden #MLGESBulldogs #STEMeducation

🌧️ Rainy day dismissal? No problem! Matilda Harris Elementary School was unstoppable on their way to the weekend! 🌟 Despite the rain, their spirits were high and their umbrellas and ponchos were ready. They made the most of the wet weather and finished the week strong! 💪📚 #BElieveinCAMDEN #WeAreCamden #MHESJaguars #RainOrShine

🌟 Friday Fun in Mrs. Renshaw's Room at Sugarmill Elementary School! 🌟 Last week in the new HMH curriculum, first grade focused on friendship. The story, “A Kid’s Guide to Friends,” taught them all about how to make friends and be a good friend to others. To celebrate what they learned, they had a Fun Food Friday and made a special Friendship Fruit Salad! Each ingredient represented their wonderful classroom — kind friends, hardworking students, and kids who use kind words and hands. 🥳 They also talked about how they only want positive attitudes in their classroom. They had a juicy apple that looked good on the outside, but when they cut it open, it was rotten inside. The students decided they didn’t want to add a “bad apple” to their friendship salad. This sparked a great discussion about how they all want to be kind, positive, and supportive — just like their fruit salad! 🍎🍊🍇 #BElieveinCAMDEN #WeAreCamden #SESEagles #FriendshipFruitSalad

🌧️🌎 Mary Lee Clark Elementary School teacher, Ms. Tillman, and her 5th graders are turning into young geologists! This week, they dove into the fascinating world of weathering, erosion, and deposition. They observed how water erosion affects sand, potting soil, and dirt mixed with grass and rocks. The students made thoughtful predictions about which materials would experience the most or least erosion and weathering. Through lively discussions and hands-on experiments, they saw firsthand how each material eroded differently. Experiencing these destructive processes up close helped them understand the impact of rainstorms on our Earth. Way to go, future scientists! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 #BElieveinCAMDEN #WeAreCamden #MLCESMarlins #STEM

🌋📚 Exciting Afternoon in Mrs. Andrews’ Kindergarten Class! 📚🌋 Last Friday, Kingsland Elementary School's curious Kindergarten boys and girls delved into the importance of self-control in communication through the engaging book "My Mouth is a Volcano!" 🌟 They eagerly brainstormed and listed ways to keep their "volcanoes" from erupting on Mrs. Andrews' anchor chart. 📝 But the fun didn't stop there! Mrs. Andrews brought the lesson to life with an interactive volcano experiment using baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring! The students were thrilled to see the fizzy eruption, making a perfect connection to the story's theme of self-control. 🧪🌈 Learning has never been this fun and meaningful! 🌋💬 #BElieveinCAMDEN #WeAreCamden #STEMeducation

Mary Lee Clark Elementary Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Cabutto, recently conducted a hands-on science activity involving planning and carrying out an investigation to predict and observe whether objects, based on their physical attributes, would sink or float. Mrs. Cabutto's little scientists were eager to make their predictions and then observe what happened to those items when place in the water. 💚✨💙 #BElieveinCAMDEN #WeAreCamden #MLCESMarlins
