🚚🌮 Fifth Grade Food Truck Festival! 🌮🚚

Math came to life in fifth grade with a Food Truck Festival! After completing a unit on decimals, students put their skills to the test by creating their own food trucks, catchy slogans, menus, and prices.

As customers, students worked within a budget, estimated costs, made purchases, and added prices using decimals. 💰🧮

Our Tigers had a fun and creative way to put their math skills into practice while learning through real-world experiences! 🐯💙🧡

🍕🔺 Shape Pizzeria in Kindergarten! 🐯
Kindergarten students in Mrs. Burrell’s class brought learning to life with a fun Shape Pizzeria! As they studied the letter “P” and explored two-dimensional (2D) shapes, students combined literacy and math in a creative, hands-on learning experience.

The Shape Pizzeria gave students an engaging way to practice recognizing shapes while connecting their classroom learning to a familiar favorite—pizza!🧡💙

📚 Dictionary Detectives: Unlocking Word Power! 📚

Our third grade students had the privilege of receiving their very own dictionaries and putting their word power skills to work as they learned to look up words, find meanings, and discover new vocabulary! 🔎📖

A special thank you to the Rotary Club of Clemson for donating dictionaries for every third grade student. Later this year, students will also receive their own copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to enjoy during their unit on the book—another generous donation from the Rotary Club!

We are so thankful for the continued support of our community and the investment they make in our students and their education!
