Kicking off our Structures unit with a little hands-on fun 🏗️📐
Students worked in teams to build the tallest, strongest spaghetti structure. Challenge: keep a marshmallow on top! So much problem-solving, collaboration, and creative thinking to start the unit off right.

Our students put their learning into action by creating and playing their own probability games! From spinners to dice rolls to marble drops, they designed, tested, and strategized. Math is way more fun when you’re the game master! #Probability #StudentCreators #MathInAction

[Ms. Chen @Ms_AChen]

Our students had a blast this week experimenting with physical and chemical changes! From fizzing reactions to lava lamps, they’re asking questions, making predictions, and learning by doing. Science is messy, hands-on, and seriously fun! 🧪✨ #FutureScientists #HandsOnLearning
