Third grade students are gaining serious momentum as they explore the world of Force & Motion! 🎢
Students are becoming energy experts, learning to spot the difference between Potential Energy (getting ready to go!) and Kinetic Energy (energy in action!). 🔋➡️🏃♂️
Watch out, because these future scientists are on the move! 🚀🧠

MES Second-grade students are transforming abstract concepts into hands-on discoveries by using number cards to master place value! 🔢 By physically arranging digits to build two- and three-digit numbers, students can see exactly how the position of a "5" changes its worth from five ones to fifty or even five hundred. 🏗️ Using number cards, this exploration naturally leads into comparing numbers, where students use their understanding of the hundreds, tens, and ones places to determine which values are greater than or less than others. ⚖️ It is wonderful experience to realize how much power a single digit can have! 💡

🏠The best part about these skills is that they don't have to stay at school! You can easily keep the momentum going at home with simple card games:
Using a standard deck of cards, have each player draw two to three cards to create the largest possible number. The person with the higher value wins the round! 🃏
Uno Math: Use Uno cards to practice "Greater Than/Less Than." Draw two cards and have your child use the correct comparison vocabulary to describe the relationship between them. 🔴🟢
Build a Number: Deal three cards to each player and see who can build the number closest to a "target" number (like 500). 🎯
