Our students have been busy thinking like mathematicians as we build our Thinking Classroom routines! 💭➕📐
Students collaborated to solve area problems, compared strategies, and supported one another’s thinking. From working in groups to sharing exit tickets, these mathematicians are showing curiosity, perseverance, and creativity in every step!
We love watching them take ownership of their learning and explore math in a hands-on, joyful way. 💡💗

Our young artists are getting into the holiday spirit! 🎅🎨
This week, Kindergarten students focused on our I Can Statement:
👉 I can use primary and secondary colors to create a Santa Claus inspired by illustrator Charlotte Pepper.
Students learned how artists use color to bring characters to life — and they showed off their creativity with bright, cheerful Santas that would make even the North Pole proud! ❤️💚
Way to go, little artists! We love seeing your imagination shine at Town & Country! 🖌️🌟

🍨 6th Grade – Explore! 🍨
This week our 6th graders put their engineering skills to the coolest test… by making their own ICE CREAM! ❄️👩🔬👨🔬
Students experimented with different base ingredients, measured carefully, and followed the science behind how liquid turns into a delicious frozen treat. 🍦✨
Hands-on learning + sweet rewards = the perfect Explore day!
Way to go, Roadrunners! 🚀💙 #STEMtastic #BrainFreezeLab #TCExplore #RoadrunnerPride

Our 4th graders became land developers this week — but with a BIG responsibility! Students worked in groups to design their very own plot of land and then brainstorm ways to keep pollution from entering our waterways. 💡🏞️
Through hands-on collaboration, creative problem-solving, and a splash of environmental science, they learned just how important it is to protect our watersheds and keep our rivers clean. 🚰♻️
We’re so proud of their thoughtful designs and teamwork! 💙

Our 3rd grade Roadrunners became young scientists as they explored how plants drink water using a hands-on carnation color-changing experiment!
Students made predictions, observed the stems, and watched their white carnations slowly begin to transform as they absorbed the colored water. 👀💧
This fun investigation helped students understand:
🔹 How plants take in water through their stems
🔹 How absorption and capillary action work
🔹 How scientists record predictions and observations
🔹 The power of watching science happen in real time!
We love seeing our Roadrunners engaged, curious, and excited about learning.
Science is blooming in 3rd grade at Town & Country! 🌸📘✨
