📐✨ Learning Math Through Discovery! ✨📐
Mrs. Sefers' 6th grade math students are taking a hands-on approach to learning! They're discovering how to find the area of polygons without relying on formulas, sharpening their reasoning skills to truly understand the why behind the math. 🔍💡
Way to go, young mathematicians! Keep up the great work in building a strong foundation for future problem-solving! 👏✨ #MathInAction #CriticalThinking #HandsOnLearning #FutureProblemSolvers
🌋📚 Erupting with Excitement in Mrs. Hallman’s 2nd Grade Class! 📚🌋
To kick off the story "My Mouth is a Volcano," Mrs. Hallman’s 2nd grade class conducted a fun experiment to see what happens when vinegar meets baking soda! The story is about a young boy who can’t wait his turn to speak and "erupts," talking out of turn. Mrs. Hallman explained that the "eruption" made by the baking soda and vinegar is like your thoughts building up inside you that you want to share, but we can’t let our thoughts "erupt" when the teacher or other students are talking.
This book is a fantastic way to introduce the importance of waiting our turn to speak and setting classroom expectations. The experiment was a great way to engage students and will hopefully remind them to hold onto their rising thoughts until it’s their turn to speak, so they don’t erupt! 🌟🗣️

🚀🔬 Bringing Computer Science to Life in Physical Science! 🔬🚀 We're excited to announce that our 8th grade science classes are integrating computer science principles into the physical science curriculum! 🧪💻 Students in Mrs. Kelsey Stephens' classes are diving into Python programming using TI-Nspire calculators and TI-Rovers. 🤖✨ They've mastered converting Python commands into physical distances measured in centimeters, and now they're taking it a step further! Students are mapping out a route from Claxton Middle School to a chosen location in Claxton, measuring distance and time along the way. 📍⏱️ Then, they program their TI-Rover to follow this route using Google Maps! 🗺️🏎️ But that's not all—they'll also use their collected data to create a distance-time graph for deeper analysis and interpretation. 📊🔍 This is hands-on learning at its best! 🌟 #STEMEducation #PythonProgramming #FutureScientists #HandsOnLearning
