After some final reminders such as “bowling is rolling,” the students were off to the lanes. Nelson, a bowler in high school, said he was taught a method where the bowler “shakes hands with the headpin.” Godwin used Spiderman’s web shooter as an example of finger placement into the ball. Godwin and Student Supervisor Cameron Nelson, filling in for PE teacher Tim Bergslien who was on paternity leave, introduced the students to proper techniques on throwing a bowling ball. “Seal jacks,” yes, imagine a seal performing jumping jacks, was certainly a hit, introduced as part of Jump into January. Each question brought a warm-up exercise to be completed after finding out the answer. Bowling was up on the roster this period, and classes started the unit with some bowling trivia.
You can see it in her deep love for students, the district and getting kids active in school.Īt Bluff Creek, two classrooms come to the gymnasium each period. With more than three decades in the district, she’s proud to be among the most tenured and her enthusiasm hasn’t changed a bit. Stacy Godwin was among the teachers that opened Bluff Creek Elementary in 1997. By the time they leave, I want them to all feel art is in them,” said Wilcox. “I think it’s important to really build on each year we have them in elementary school. Wilcox’s room at any given time throughout the hour you would have seen every student active in one project or another. Two girls were putting the final touches on their clay project, a Diplodocus dinosaur. One group was well into rebuilding their cardboard gingerbread house by the end of the class period. Two other boys were working nearby on a boat. One group of boys constructed a soccer stadium, another student built an airplane from cardboard. Some decided to be visual with drawings, others designed and built models. Today’s art time for fifth-grade students gave them a choice in a project. With the school’s PTO Parents Night event just around the corner, Julia Wilcox and students were hard at work painting, each taking a section of a large wall art canvas that will be among the auction items. Holm, now in her second year as Bluff Creek Elementary principal after previously serving as the building leader at Chaska Middle school East, fully understands that sage advice. So, keep your Eye on ECCS!īeth Holm remembers the wise advice she once received: When you become a building principal, make sure you have great specialists.They have every student in the building in their classroom. A chance to spotlight the incredible work our teachers and staff do on a daily basis for our students, and to showcase the incredible work our students produce as well. The purpose is to give families and our community a glimpse into the every-day learning environment happening in our buildings.
Other weeks it may highlight a certain specialist group. Some weeks the plan may be to stop in multiple classrooms by grade, or by subject. NOTE: Each week throughout the school year, we will visit a school across Eastern Carver County Schools.
