👩🏫TEACHER TUESDAY - Ruth Gourley, STEAM Specialist at Malpass Corner Elementary 🌟
Ms. Gourley teaches grades K-5 at Malpass Corner Elementary and has been inspiring young minds for nine years. Her passion for education stems from her love of helping children experience those “light bulb” moments when they grasp new knowledge. 💡✨
As a self-proclaimed science nerd, Ms. Gourley’s favorite subject to teach is science. She enjoys sparking curiosity and making learning exciting for her students. Her proudest accomplishment is becoming a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) specialist, a role that allows her to bring innovative, hands-on learning experiences to her classroom. 🔬🎨
When she’s not teaching, Ms. Gourley enjoys relaxing at the beach, watching movies, and listening to music. At home, she shares her life with two very spoiled house cats who bring her endless joy. 🐾
Her dream travel destination is Cozumel, Mexico—a place she hopes to explore one day. 🌴✈️
Ms. Gourley’s teaching philosophy, *“Student-centered and hands-on,”* reflects her commitment to engaging her students in meaningful and interactive learning experiences. She strives to create an environment where students are at the heart of every lesson. 💡👏
Drum roll!! Triangle tings! Bass drums! APPLAUSE!! Ms. Steiner's 1st grade class is our FIRST Eagles Nest classroom to have perfect attendance and to spell out the word ATTENDANCE! Her classroom will receive a special celebration! #LearningISBetterWhenWeAreTogether #AttendanceisRewarded
Because of the short week last week, "Eagles of the Week" will officially be back next week BUT unofficially, EVERY Eagle in the Nest is an "Eagle of the Week" !
Last week was a super short week but was FULL of HEART! The Eagles Nest cannot function without our parents. And when parents volunteer, we are even stronger! Thank you to these parents who volunteered to help the SOAR store award our little Eagles who have earned their eagle bucks to make their Soar Store purchases. #LearningISBetterWhenWeAreTogether #Parents+MCE=SUCCESS
Calling all 4th & 5th graders!! Remember, you need to be at school tomorrow! Tomorrow is the day we have been looking forward to!

(Check out a copy of "The Last Dragon on Mars" and read together!) #LearningIsBetterWhenYouAreInTheEaglesNest
Our Eagles of the Week before we go home for Thanksgiving are recognized for having ownership on the bus or as a car rider. This may look like watching for their bus stop, quietly waiting for their name to be called at car riders & walking with a calm body, taking ownership of actions, cleaning up their trash, etc. Way to SOAR!
