🍎✨ Teacher of the Week: Caitlin Benton! ✨🍎

Some people make a school better simply by being part of it, and Caitlin Benton is one of those people. 🤎🩶

Her positive energy, willingness to help others, and commitment to doing what's best for students make an impact that reaches far beyond her classroom. Whether she's encouraging a student, supporting a colleague, or stepping in wherever she's needed, Caitlin consistently helps make MVMS a stronger and more connected school community.

We're thankful for all she does and proud to recognize her as this week's Teacher of the Week! 🐾

👏 Congratulations, Caitlin!

Math is better together!

This month, students used the Kagan strategy Hand Up, Stand Up, Pair Up to practice multi-digit multiplication. Students worked with different partners, explained their thinking, solved problems together, and learned from one another along the way!

🍄 Decomposers on the menu! 🍄

Our 5th graders took our ecosystems unit to the taste-testing level today! They learned that decomposers play an important role in breaking down dead organisms and returning matter back to the ecosystem—and then they got to experience a decomposer for themselves! There were definitely some brave tasters, some curious faces, and a few “Nope!” reactions, but everyone got to see that science isn’t just something we learn about—it’s something we can see, touch, smell, and even taste!
