🦋✨ From tiny egg to fluttering wings! ✨🦋
Mrs. Hermsmeier and her Middle School science students have been watching the life cycle of a butterfly up close, and recently celebrated the final step — the butterfly release! 🌱 Egg → 🐛 Caterpillar → 🛑 Chrysalis → 🦋 Butterfly
What an incredible hands-on learning experience watching this transformation unfold, and the class loved setting them free to start their next adventure. 🧡🖤 #PantherPrideInTheClassroom
Palmyra Middle School PACE students and Mrs. Gard took their studies outside! While exploring the creek behind the school, they made real-world connections to their unit on aquatic biomes. 🐟 The highlight of the day was bringing back creek creatures to add to the class aquarium! #PantherPrideInTheClassroom
✨ The Palmyra Middle School Maker Club kicked off the year with a great September meeting! Maker Club is an after-school opportunity for grades 5–8 where students can make, learn, create, explore, and share. ✨
Students had the chance to let their imaginations run wild during Exploratory Month, creating with cardboard and the chomp saw, Perler Beads, 3D pens, Legos, robotics, green screen fun, crafts, and NURCs.
This year, Mrs. Gottman and Mrs. Gard are excited to have 34 students signed up to join the adventure. September was all about free exploration, and we can’t wait to show off more projects as the year goes on! 🎉🔧🤖
🎯🏹 Ready, aim, focus!
Palmyra Middle School PE classes kicked off their archery unit, learning proper form, safety, and improving skills while testing their aim. There was even a student who hit the bullseye! . 🏹👏
Way to go Panthers—learning skills and having fun in PE! 🧡🖤 #PantherPrideInTheClassroom
📢 Reminder Panthers!
