During Mrs. Nexson's lesson on shapes, she took her students on a "Shape hunt" at the gym's building process.
The students used their knowledge of 2-D shapes and find 3-D shapes to identify them while viewing the new construction and in our garden. This adventure reinforced our standard and allowed students to relate the concepts to the "real world" projects.
Our contractors are working hard to finish this gym. They are progressing very well.
Mrs. Marie Land, Mrs. Amy Land, Gene and our MHS' FFA students came to celebrate Earth Day early, discussing recycling, saving energy, and other ways to help preserve our environment.

Ms. Sanchez asked teams at her STEM class to create a ship out of aluminum foil and make sure it will float (or sink). The class would look at each ship and choose what they thought would happen. Then each team got to speak about how they designed their boat after it was tested. Ms. Sanchez explained that they needed to be "inspected" for safety.
🚨The Save the Children After-School Program is canceled for tomorrow, 3/20 due to District Parent-Teacher Conferences. 📍So, come out to see your child's teachers tomorrow, 3/20 from 4 pm - 6 pm to discuss student progress and upcoming school activities. 📚
MECC's staff created this video to show how they make every child count by staying positive and that teamwork makes the dream work.
