ββ¨ Starbucks Mode in Andersonβs 3rd Grade! β¨β
On Friday, Mrs. Anderson's 3rd graders were buzzing with focus, teamwork, and a whole lot of math magic! Students rotated through stations, tackled multiplication and problem-solving, used their resources, and showed what productive learning really looks like.
From hands-on practice and independent work to a little Starbucks-style celebration at the end, these kids absolutely crushed it! πͺππ§
So proud of their hard work, perseverance, and positive attitudes. Learning can be fun, cozy, and meaningful all at the same time π
