Who knew math could be this "pop"-ular? 🫧

This week middle schoolers, took their geometry lesson to the tables! Students cticed calculating circumference and area by blowing bubbles and measuring the circles they left behind. It’s one thing to see a formula on a whiteboard, but it’s much more fun to see it in a soap suds!📐✨

There’s something truly magical about the glow of a flashlight and a great story! ✨🔦
Last week, our classrooms turned into cozy reading dens as we celebrated the joy of books. We loved seeing Mrs. Glenn’s class diving into their reading by flashlight, and we had a special treat when Mrs. Hughes’s 2/3 class visited Mrs. Corry’s K/1 students to share stories.📖❤️

🍄 Montessori Monday: The Journey of "Pebbles":

For this #MontessoriMonday, Mrs. Hughes’ 2/3 class is celebrating the ultimate practical life lesson: growing our own food! 🌿🍕
Meet "Pebbles"—the mushroom our students have been carefully nurturing in the classroom. After watching Pebbles grow day by day, it was finally time for the harvest. 🧺

The students took their hard work to the kitchen to prepare Mushroom, Bacon, and Thyme pizzas. From studying the growth process to practicing their culinary skills, it was a beautiful (and delicious!) full-circle experience. 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳
