Carver 9th Grade Academy

Señora Godwin was using Whole Child Strategies to ensure that ALL students were engaged, supported, and learning! Students were able to get the help that they needed and those that got it could continue their work.📚❤️

Her classroom was a great example of creating an environment where students feel valued and are given the tools they need to be successful.

Principal Hendrix gave Houston a break and taught a mini lesson on the scientific method. They were intrigued with his real life connection story unconsciously solving everyday problems using the scientific method.

Way to go, Principal Hendrix!

🏗️✨ Building More Than Just Towers! ✨🏗️

Mrs. Pynes Medical Terminology students took on the Pipe Cleaner Skyscraper Challenge today! 🧠🤝

Their mission? Work together to build the tallest freestanding tower using limited resources—but there was a catch! 😮
Throughout the challenge, students faced obstacles that required them to:
🔹 Communicate effectively
🔹 Think creatively and problem-solve
🔹 Adapt when things didn’t go as planned
🔹 Work together with limited resources
🔹 Find ways to collaborate—even when they weren’t allowed to speak! 🤐
🔹 Practice patience, leadership, and teamwork

What started as a simple pipe-cleaner challenge quickly became a lesson in communication, collaboration, and overcoming obstacles. Watching them figure out how to work together when their usual communication tools were taken away was the best part! 💪
These are skills that extend far beyond the classroom and into every healthcare setting. 🩺❤️
So proud of the way these students stepped up, adapted, and worked together! 👏🏼
