Ms. Waterfield's 2nd graders had a delicious time learning about place value 🥨🍫
Our students used snacks to build models of ones, tens, and hundreds. It's amazing what a little creativity (and some tasty treats!) can do for a math lesson!

🔎Today, our 5th graders became "scientists" for a glowing experiment!

🧪 They investigated how water temperature affects the shine of a glow stick, and the results were illuminating. It was a bright day of hands-on learning and discovery! ✨ #HandsOnLearning #ScienceExperiment #FutureScientists #DCCE

We got one! 🚨 Shout out to this awesome parent who finally returned their '𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡' sign from 2024-2025! We were just about to send a search party. 😉 Just kidding (mostly)! If your Hornet was Student of the Month for the month last school year, those signs are yours to keep! We'll have brand new ones for the new school year. Thanks for sharing the fun, Hornet families! We love seeing those smiles. 💜 #DCCEHornets #HornetPride #CreekFamilies #SOTM
