Students had to create a 3D model of the Earth and the Sun at the completion of their Space unit. They also had to turn in a report answering specific questions given by their science teachers. Their reports included information about daylight hours, different seasons, and what the sun is made of.  They did a terrific job on their projects and presentations!

At Morningside Elementary, learning has a delicious reward! Students in Ms. Moore’s third-grade AMP math classroom worked quickly to build their own pizza 🍕. They correctly answered a certain number of questions in order to”buy”  the toppings to make their pizza everything they wanted it to be! Extra cheese? Yes, please! That’ll be another three answers. 😂 Then, Morningside’s amazing cafeteria manager, Ms. Fran, took students on a “behind the scenes” tour of the kitchen so they could bake their tasty snack. Students enjoyed learning and found that it is good to “do the work” in class.
