Kindergartners became SCIENTISTS last week in library! 🤓 They used their 5 senses to identify a mystery substance which led them to the conclusion ....POP ROCKS! Did you know when you put a balloon filled with pop rocks on top of a Coca-Cola and drop the pop rocks in, that it will inflate the balloon? 😮







Fourth-graders have been learning about the 5 forms of energy. Students got to practice their skills at making a complete closed circuit that the electrons could flow through. Students had success at making a light turn on, making a fan, and building a circuit that would play music.




In Discovery class, students celebrated International Dot Day by making their mark and exploring their own creativity! Some students built as many different structures as they could using dots candy and some explored dots using augmented reality. Other classes explored dots by designing new creations out of dots and using a variety of activities from the dot day choice board.











Speaking and listening are at the core of learning in ELA classes and Wit & Wisdom curriculum. Pictured here are some of the students in Ms. Cheers' third grade class learning how to engage in a Socratic Seminar during their ELA time.



It was a foil boat challenge kind of day in Mrs. Smith's class! Students got into groups and constructed boats out of one piece of foil. The groups were trying to build a boat strong enough to hold the items such as penny, pencil, cotton ball, wooden stick, crayon, and rubber band. Then they were able to each get another piece of foil and build their own individual boat and see whose boat could hold the most pennies!






Thank you, thank you, thank you to MST CIA, First Source Business Supplies and Burlap & Twine for treating our staff during Parent-Teacher Conferences. We so appreciate you!


When you show excellent behavior in Mrs. Bouey's class, you get to have lunch with the crew in the classroom.

As part of Wit & Wisdom Module 1, fourth-grade students checked their heart beats with marshmallows and tooth picks. Students also learned about the difference between their figurative and literal hearts.



MST Artists were hard at work those first few weeks of school creating their very own graffiti wall. Ms. Moore, MST art teacher, helped students design their own graffiti versions of their names and then all students put their artwork together to make the amazing hallway display you see below!











HOOPFEST 2023!!
Students and staff had a ballin' time competing against each other in yesterday's game. The rest of us had a great time cheering them on. It was a great day to be an MST Patriot!

It's been helpers, helpers, and more helpers during morning announcements and we aren't mad about it!











Check out some of our MST scientists in action!
Students learned about convection currents in fourth-grade science class. They saw how warm molecules rise while cold molecules sink during an experiment about how heat moves. Warm water was colored red and cold water was colored blue. Through their observations, students found that warm water molecules moved at a faster rate than the cold molecules.


Science can be "s'more" much fun in Ms. Ezekiel's class!


Music class has been full of movement, singing, and instruments these past few weeks and some students have already gotten to compose their own musical ideas. 4th-grade students and students in Ms. Bain's homeroom wrote their own rhythmic patterns and then turned their individual patterns into a whole-class song!


Kindergarten is always a great time, especially when you get to spend your days in Mrs Waldrip's class!











These are just a few of the faces who have been voicing our morning announcements. All of our morning leaders have been nailing this whole announcing thing!
