🌞📚 "𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐜𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫!" 📏🌟 Our amazing 4th and 5th graders at Southwest City Elementary are inching their way into some exciting academic lessons that are both fun and educational during summer school. In this week's lesson, students are mastering the art of measurement. Using rulers, they are measuring everyday classroom items like pencils, crayon boxes, and glue bottles. 🖍️📏✏️ They then record their findings on a worksheet, practicing their math and observation skills. Why is this important? 🧠 Critical Thinking: Measuring and recording data helps students develop analytical skills. 🔢 Math Skills: They get hands-on experience with units of measurement and number sense. ✍️ Attention to Detail: Accuracy is key, teaching them to pay close attention to the world around them. 💡 Practical Application: These are real-world skills they'll use throughout their lives! We're so proud of our students and the hard work they're putting in this summer. Keep up the awesome work, future scholars! 🎉👏 #SummerSchoolRocks #LearningInAction #McDonaldCountySchools #FutureScholars #HandsOnLearning #MathMagic #EducationMatters #SouthwestCityElementary 📚✨

👏 How about a round of applause for a teacher who’s a cut above? 💇‍♀️ ✂️🌟 🎉🌟 We are thrilled to announce that Mrs. Lindsey Cartwright, Second-grade teacher at Noel Primary School, has been named the McDonald County Schools Teacher of the Month for February! 🌟🎉 🍎 Mrs. Cartwright's incredible dedication to her students and her heartwarming act of kindness truly embodies the spirit of excellence we cherish in our district. Her principal, Denisa Douthit, beautifully captured her impact: "Mrs. Cartwright is such a natural born teacher... She has made a point to form connections with not only her students but their families as well." 🏫💖 💇‍♀️ Douthit says Mrs. Cartwright - a former hairstylist - noticed one of her students feeling self-conscious due to his appearance. Without hesitation, she offered to give him a haircut, bringing smiles and confidence to the student and his family. This act of kindness exemplifies Mrs. Cartwright's compassion and dedication to her students' well-being. 🌈✂️ Mrs. Cartwright was recently surprised in her classroom with flowers, gifts, and heartfelt congratulations from McDonald County School leaders! 🌸🎁✨ A huge thank you to our sponsor, Veregy LLC., for their generous support in recognizing Mrs. Cartwright's outstanding contributions to our school community! 🙌🏼🎊 🌟 Join us in celebrating Mrs. Cartwright's outstanding achievement and the positive impact she makes on every child, every day, whatever it takes! 🎉👏
