📚✨Ms. Balcazar’s 6th grade ELA students have been exploring different text structures and how they help us better understand what we read. To make this skill come alive, students completed an interactive notebook activity—cutting, pasting, and organizing examples of text structures. Hands-on learning = deeper understanding!

🌍✨ 7th grade Social Studies is diving into the Physical Features of Southwest Asia (Middle East)! Students are exploring deserts, rivers, and mountains that shape the culture and history of this important region of the world. 🗺️📚

Mr. Poppell’s 7th grade math students were hard at work solving puzzles to practice positive and negative numbers. Each cut-out piece represented part of the solution to changes in temperature, and students had to fit the pieces together just like a math puzzle. 🧩➕➖

Hands-on learning at its best! #TheStandard #TCMSBulldogs
