They worked so fast and confidently that they even had time to explore advanced features! 🎢

Huge shoutout to our second graders for rocking their first robotics lesson!

Incredible start, young engineers—can’t wait to see where your creativity takes you next! #EveryStudentEveryDay #HornetPride #WeAreHemmeter

4th graders are working on reading INTENSELY and making movies in their minds! Today they put these skills to work while listening to “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L’Engle. Here are some of the images our Hornets created!
Mrs. Little's first graders had a blast exploring the 3 states of matter during science time! 🌡️💧 Each group was given a container of bubbles and tasked with investigating how they could show a solid, liquid, and gas using just the bubbles! ✨ It was hands-on learning at its best! #EveryStudentEveryDay #WeAreHemmeter #HornetPride
Fifth graders in Ms. Lewis’ class learned about Tanzania from the Swender family today. Students saw pictures and videos and were taught about village life, geography, and wild life of the area.

At Hemmeter, we are committed to fostering a collaborative and growth-focused environment, not just for our students, but for our teachers as well. This is where Mrs. Graham, our dedicated Instructional Coach, plays a key role. Mrs. Graham supports our educators by offering personalized coaching, resources, and guidance to help them enhance their teaching practices and student engagement.
This month, Mrs. Graham offered professional development with a creative twist—presented inside an apple! Teachers enjoyed apple-themed treats and received a handout focused on the power of feedback, offering them three different ways to explore this topic: reading, listening, or watching. This flexible approach encourages learning in a way that fits every teacher’s style.
