Mrs. Hall’s third grade class is learning about a plant’s life cycle. Students are beginning an inquiry on the different rates of sprouting for seeds. Students are sprouting lemon balm, chamomile, and lima beans. Today, students bagged and hung them in the windows. Students will check daily to watch the sprouting process and document data for 2 weeks. #PerseverancePropelsProgress #LearningLeading #MJEchampions

🎃✨ Cutest Pumpkins in the Patch! ✨🎃 Mrs. Hare's students had so much fun painting pumpkins for their in classroom pumpkin project! Each one is full of color, creativity, and a whole lot of personality. While students painted, they also practiced fine motor skills — holding brushes, mixing colors, and painting those happy pumpkin faces! Mrs. Hare, Mrs. McKnight, and Ms. Allison definitely have the cutest pumpkins in the patch!🧡🎃 #PerseverancePropelsProgress #LearningLeading #MJEchampions

Students watched a video of a rocket ship, and then discussed what a rocket does. The students researched a rocket ship on their computers to gather a deeper understanding.
