As part of Ancient Egypt studies, G3 students use @tinkercad to design a hieroglyphic stamp w/ their initials. Students started exploring the app, learning about all 3 dimensions, + measuring in millimeters. #PondCoveSchool #3Ddesign #metricsystem
Through a generous grant from our Education Foundation #CEEF we were able to make #CoderExpress goodie bags. They contain all of the materials for the unplugged activities and of course a cookie and some hot chocolate! Over 250 families signed up! #PondCoveSchool
3rd-grade students started their Ancient Egypt studies in style. Students went on a "field trip" to Ancient Egypt with #GoogleExpeditions + #VirtualReality We visited the Nile River, and saw a Pharaoh's tomb. #PondCoveSchool
Pond Cove staff pictures are displayed in a show of appreciation for their dedication and commitment to our students and community.
First grade students are using their photography skills + the app ChatterPix to tell their families what they are thankful for #PondCoveSchool Their voices are making these turkeys talk.

It’s snowing in kindergarten at #PondCoveSchool
Students built snowmen using pattern blocks app, learned to take screenshots, cropped photos +marked up with names. 5 year olds. Wow. #mindblown Of course we played the #Frozen soundtrack.
Spending the first half of the week w/4th grade students + @Flipgrid New to #PondCoveSchool students even used it in different states last year during remote learning #oneofthebestappsever
It’s amazing how educators adapt to make things better for students. Our school counselor @BriGallagherSC transformed her space to help students w/their social emotional needs. Mats on the floor w/puppets, a race track w/seat cars, +of course lava at the door. #PondCoveSchool
