🏗️ Engineering in action! Our third graders put on their scientist hats this week to investigate which materials build the tallest, strongest towers. Using index cards, tape, glue, and paperclips, they tested, measured, and discovered what makes structures stable. So much hands-on learning happening at Cross Timbers Elementary! 💡📐

Post 2 of 2; We wanted to include more pictures!

4th grade students had some hands on fun, as they made observations while decomposing elements of a solution to determine the colors that combine to create black ink. Curiosity and collaboration were on full display!

It takes many volunteers to prepare for and make Academy 4 successful each month. We are incredibly grateful for each and everyone of them. The work you do behind the scenes in addition to mentoring our students, leading clubs, and pouring into our children's futures is important to us at Cross Timbers! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Today we honored and remembered on 9/11 with kindness, respect, and unity. Our students dressed thoughtfully to show support and reflect on the importance of coming together as a community. These young faces remind us of hope, compassion, and how small acts — like wearing meaningful colors or symbols — can help teach big lessons.

Mr. Schmitt's class used blocks, a truck, and an egg to learn the importance of seatbelts...at the eggs expense. This hand on safety demo made an impression these students will remember.
