It's all about MANUFACTURING at Hutto Elementary this week as students dig deeper into the Engineering Design Process and how things are made. From design and prototypes to testing and iterations, these students are hands on every day in their WOZ ED STEM PATHWAYS.
4th & 5th grade students have been practicing the design process by creating blueprints of robotic inventions and then testing them in the testing zone to identify enhancements and improve their prototypes.
3rd Grade students have been researching plants and animals from different biomes and designing 3D models of them in Tinkercad to print on the Flash Forg 3D printer.
They enjoyed customizing their apples with a variety of delicious toppings. From chocolate drizzles to crunchy nuts, the creativity was flowing and the smiles were big! 😄🍎
Using 3Doodler pens, students crafted 3D models of their names in beautiful cursive. Each student picked their favorite color and carefully traced their signature, turning handwriting practice into a creative and hands-on experience. What a fun and innovative way to master cursive and personalize their own signature! 🎨✒️

Chrome Pen Sketching
Students in Mrs. Lewis' class brought technology into reading with style! Using Chrome pens, they sketched their impressions and thoughts in words and doodles during First Chapter Friday, combining creativity and tech to capture key ideas. This was a fun and fresh way to dive into reading!
Cozy up your home and brighten our school’s future at the same time! Grab your favorite scents, share the glow, and be a part of something special.
Let’s shine together — one candle at a time! 💡📚❤️

📚 3rd graders visited the Media Hub with Mrs. Palmer to explore animal adaptations with the book "What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?" After discussing how animals use their unique features to survive, students experienced two immersive VR videos—one about sharks and another featuring various animals and their adaptations.
Before returning to their classrooms, students completed a main idea and details graphic organizer using evidence from the book and videos. Then, back in class, they wrote paragraphs sharing what they learned from their exciting day of reading and exploration. A perfect blend of literacy, science, and technology! 🌟🦈🐊 #LearningAdventure #AnimalAdaptations #3rdGradeFun
We are proud to announce that Mrs. Samantha Palmer, Media Specialist at Hutto Elementary School, has been selected as one of this year’s Rising Star Educators. She will be formally recognized and honored at the upcoming GAETC Conference in November, where she will also be considered as a featured speaker. Her dedication and innovative approach serve as an inspiring example of how technology can transform education.
Mrs. Palmer shared, “I am truly honored to be nominated for this award, and being one of just four educators recognized across Georgia is incredible to me. Each week, I organize my time around ensuring students have the best possible learning experiences and that teachers feel supported and equipped. Being a media specialist allows me the unique opportunity to connect with all students and help them build a love for both reading and technology. My goal is for every student to have something meaningful and impactful to share with their parents at the end of the day. There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing a child excitedly share something special they experienced at school that day. What I enjoy most is combining literacy and technology, because when those two come together, amazing things can happen.”
Way to shine, Mrs. Palmer! Congratulations!
