When I was student teaching my mentor teacher taught me that 4 leaf clovers were in fact real. I now encouraged my students to spend time checking the clover patches. The absolute joy on their faces when they actually find one makes my heart so full! #BeCannonProud @canSTEM

I am so impressed with all the reading these all-stars did the last 4 weeks for Read Bowl 2024! As a class we read 6,624 minutes. One over achiever read 1,424 minutes all on his own. Thank you @ReadWithMalcolm for inspiring us! #BeCannonProud @canSTEM
