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!

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!
