In Mrs. Shepperd’s math class, students were busy learning how to measure angles using protractors. They practiced identifying acute, obtuse, right, and straight angles while using their Chromebooks and digital tools to measure angles in degrees. It was great to see students engaged, using technology, and building their confidence with this important math skill. Special thanks to Mrs. Heid Ward, ITRT for facilitating this activity.

Students in Mrs. Arkhipova’s class at South Boston Elementary recently learned about photosynthesis using virtual reality (VR). Students explored the inside of a plant and saw how sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide help plants make their own food.
This immersive experience helped bring science to life and made learning about photosynthesis both engaging and memorable.
Thanks to Mrs. Heidi Ward, ITRT, for facilitating this experience for our students! 🌱🔬

PE Fun at SBE!
Students played a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with a twist using hula hoops. One student from each team hopped through the hoops toward the middle. When they met, they played Rock, Paper, Scissors. The winner continued hopping while the other student returned to the end of their line and the next teammate joined in.
The goal was for one team to successfully make it all the way across to the other side! A fun activity full of movement, teamwork, and excitement!
