Elm Creek Elementary Home

Science and STEM Night is always a popular event at ECE! Countless families joined us for an evening of discovery. Students received a punch card upon arrival to track their station activities. After visiting at least 4 stations, students redeemed their punch cards for a trifold board to be used for their upcoming science fair project. Great minds are at work!

Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Wendy Quillin! Mrs. Quillin is a Southwest ISD Principal in Resident. She will be joining the ECE Administration team to assist throughout the campus until December. Fun facts: Mrs. Quillin has Elm Creek history! Many years ago, she taught on our special education team. She then spent a number of years working as our assistant principal. And...both of her children are Elm Creek alumni! We're glad to have you back, Mrs. Quillin!

Getting educated in the water is what's up for our fourth graders this week! Students will visit the SWISD Aquatic Center 4 times this week and come away with new experiences!

Learning is an active process! Check out the our first grade scientists as they explored how heat changes objects…by making s’mores!

Our fifth graders have started the 5-week program in which they visit Starbase Kelly for unique learning opportunities. On the first day, they experimented with air pressure, measured the mass of objects using a triple beam balance, and observed physical properties with our micro vision using hand held microscopes!! Pictured here are students in Mrs. Saenz's class as they experimented with hydrophilic vs hydrophobic properties.
