They show up everyday and help to make sure students enter and leave school safely. ⭐️ A special congratulations to Room 207, our Golden Broom Award winners for keeping the cleanest classroom! 🧹✨ Way to go, Falcons! Keep making those #MuirMoments! 💚

Ms. Jaffe’s class published their Student Leader Pamphlets! 📚 Students took time to read each other’s work and share thoughtful feedback using “2 Stars and a Wish” ⭐⭐💭 — celebrating two things they loved and offering one idea for growth.

GEMS club has been busy! Last week the girls designed their own  packaging in the attempt to mail  a single Pringle’s potato chip  through the districts interoffice mail system. This week we opened the mail to see how many chips arrived intact. It was exciting to see that 3 chips survived the journey. Also this week, the girls designed their own water filter using materials such as pea gravel, paper towel, wood chips, cotton and sand. It was interesting for all to observe which combination of materials provided the best filtration. We can’t wait for next week! #muirmoments #gems #pringles

🎯 Math fun in action! 🫘➕ Our kindergarten mathematicians had a blast playing bean bag toss and recording their numbers on a number track.
