Mrs. Doyle's 3rd grade math students are diving into area this unit! Students were given different shapes and challenged to build them using various sizes of unit squares. After creating their shapes, they counted the unit squares to determine the area.

We loved seeing their hands-on problem solving, teamwork, and β€œaha!” moments as they discovered how area changes with different units. So proud of their hard work and growing math skills! πŸ™ŒπŸ“

🌘✨ 5th Grade Science Fun! βœ¨πŸŒ’
Our 5th graders had a delicious hands-on lesson as they used Oreos to model the phases of the moon! πŸŒ•πŸŒ—πŸŒ‘

Students learned how the moon appears to change shape as it orbits Earth, then created each phase by carefully carving the cream from their cookies. πŸͺπŸ”

Learning is always sweeter when you can snack on it afterward! πŸ˜„πŸŒ™

πŸ“¦ Little Hands, Big Hearts: Mustangs Pack with Purpose!

Our amazing 3rd graders learned a powerful lesson in giving today as they packed shoeboxes for children in need around the world!

It was a true teamwork effort! Students went from station to station, choosing everything from toys to school supplies, before working side-by-side to perfectly pack their boxes and write a personal note of friendship.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to our incredible parents, high school helpers, and various groups whose generous donations and volunteer time powered this entire effort. You helped our students share kindness with the world!
