We are entering Week 6 together. MACS Micro-School families! Together we are growing our kids! Together we are finding the joy in their learning. Together we can help them develop as artists, creators, designers, thinkers, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and innovators! The time to start is now, not later.

Powerful quotes to remind ourselves:

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up" ~ Pablo Picaso

"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." ~ Maya Angelou

1) Independent Seesaw Assignments for all

1) Independent Seesaw Assignments for all

2) Family Engagement- Every student will have the Egg Protection Program assignment in their Seesaw on Tuesday. Please help your child complete this assignment as a family. This assignment will require them to fully engage in scientific testing as they make a hypothesis (guess) about what can best protect their egg when dropped. Through this activity, they will be thinkers, designers, problem solvers, scientists and innovators. With your help they will have a blast learning through this hands-on experiment. Don't forget to have them share in Seesaw with videos/pictures.

I will hand them out on Friday, Oct. 1 after our place-based learning activity here at the central office.

• School attendance for each day is based on 3 factors- they must be engaging in one of these forms of Micro-School: (1) independent Seesaw assignments, (2) working on Google Meet with Ms. Willard, or (3) attending a place- based lesson somewhere in the community with Ms. Willard

Location: Mount Airy City Schools Community Central Office

Today we will kick off a math and art lesson through cooking. Our group times will vary since we will need to be indoors using the kitchen and our classroom for this activity. Please see the groups and times below. Students will be exposed to fractions, measurement, following directions, reading a recipe, artistic design using food, and hands-on learning through mixing and baking. To keep everyone completely safe we will be baking our own cupcakes and decorating our own to eat as a sweet treat. We have aprons to keep everyone as clean as possible. Masks must be worn at all times during the indoor event. We will take our cupcakes outside to eat afterwards.

*Please let me know ahead of time if your child will not be attending this event.
