Learning Look 🔎
MATH - Pi Day 2024
Students in math classes celebrated March 14, also known as Pi day ( 3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971......) with a variety of activities that mostly involved measuring a food item. Students measured round objects and made observations and calculations. Pancakes were a great food item to measure and one class made their own butter to add to the pancakes.
What a great way to have snacks while doing some math!
HEALTH - The Nervous System
Students in Mr. Millard's health class were studying the nervous system with emphasis on parts of the brain. They completed the brain hat to label parts of the brain and learn what it is responsible for. Some students were shy about wearing their brain hats. Some, however, embraced it and took pride in their work.
