🦑 Creating Classroom Magic Through Hands-On Learning!
Today at Selma Elementary, our third grade students brought their study of sea life to real life with a hands-on squid dissection!
As educators, we talk a lot about career-connected learning and helping students discover their passions. Too often, we think those experiences begin in middle school or high school. We would argue they should start much earlier.
Who knows? Maybe today’s experience sparked an interest in marine biology, veterinary medicine, or a career these students haven’t even considered yet.
Students can’t discover a passion for something they’ve never been exposed to.
A huge shoutout to our incredible third grade teachers and the families and volunteers who helped make this experience possible!
At Liberty-Perry, we like to discuss creating magic in our classrooms. Today was a perfect example of what that looks like!
You never know which classroom experience might change the direction of a child’s future! Check out the video featuring our Braves scientists!
