🎥✨ Day of Code was a huge success at Hapeville Elementary! Students programmed robots, solved puzzles, and unlocked their inner tech superheroes. Check out this special report from one of my amazing 5th graders! #DayOfCode #HapevilleHawks #wherethemagichappens

NOTE: No recess was harmed in the making of this bluesy lesson! 😅🎶 Last week, we dove into the blues to practice figurative language. The excitement was real—hands shot up, voices sang out, and creativity flowed! 🎤✨ #hapevilleelementary #wherethemagichappens @DrCSLPadgett

Kicking off the school year with a powerful chant to inspire my 5th graders! 📝✏️ We've been doing Quick Writes daily, and their motivation is through the roof! This is going to be a great year!🚀 @DrCSLPadgett @kellymastro #WhereTheMagicHappens #HapevilleElementary

🦕🕷️ Our 5th grade #HapevilleHawks had a blast at the Fernbank Museum! From exploring spider exhibits to strolling through nature trails and diving into Georgia's history, every moment was a learning adventure! 🌿 #FieldTripFun @DrCSLPadgett @kellymastro @HesJshaw

It’s been over a decade, and I’m still using the same #WholeBrainTeaching rules. Students also get to propose “bills” and vote to add new rules if needed. Some classes have added a few extra, but the core has been the same. #teachertwitter #Year14

Happy Holidays from Mr. Bussey’s Class! 😂😂😂 #hapevillehawks @DrCSLPadgett @kellymastro

I’m going to be SO sore tomorrow 😂. It was worth it though!
