📚✨ This week at Crooked River Elementary School was filled with fun and interactive learning! Mrs. Moon’s second-grade students put their building skills to the test by creating base ten robots while reviewing place value. 🤖🔢 They calculated their robot’s total value and then compared it with their partner’s. Little did they know, they were enhancing their math skills while having a blast! Some students even worked with virtual base ten blocks to design incredible digital robots! 🖥️👾 This activity reinforced their understanding of place value, all while promoting creativity and problem-solving. What a memorable learning experience these students will cherish! 🧠💡 #BElieveinCAMDEN #WeareCamden #TheRiver #InteractiveLearning

🌟 Shoutout to our amazing 2nd graders at Mamie Lou Gross Elementary School! 🌟 Our young learners have been diving into what it means to be a good citizen and how they can make a positive impact on others. They explored various ways to embody good citizenship and the importance of these actions in our community. In a heartwarming project, each student created a certificate to honor someone in their life who they believe exemplifies the qualities of a good citizen and has made a difference to them. Way to go, 2nd graders! Keep shining and making our world a better place, one good deed at a time! 🌍💖✨ #BElieveinCAMDEN #WeAreCamden #MLGESBulldogs #GoodCitizens #FutureLeaders #MakingADifference

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔 Mary Lee Clark Elementary teacher, Mrs. Jackson, and her 4th graders are diving into the fascinating world of moon phases! 🌙✨ By using hands-on activities like flashlights and Styrofoam "moons," our young scientists are making big discoveries. In this engaging classroom activity, students use a flashlight to represent the Sun and a Styrofoam ball as the moon. By rotating the ball around their heads, they can see how the light changes on the ball's surface, mimicking the phases of the moon. This interactive approach helps our students visualize and understand how the moon's position relative to Earth and the Sun creates the different phases we see from Earth. It's a fantastic way to make learning tangible and fun! 🚀🔦🌍 #BElieveinCAMDEN #WeAreCamden #MLCESMarlins #STEMeducation
