🏙️ BUILDING MULTIPLICATION SKILLS, ONE WINDOW AT A TIME! ❤️🖤

Math came to life in Ms. Roberts' 3rd Grade Class as students turned their classroom into their very own Array City! 🏢✏️

During this fun, hands-on activity, students became little architects, designing buildings using multiplication arrays!

Each student chose a multiplication problem and created a building with windows arranged in rows and columns to represent their equation. The challenge? Making sure the number of windows matched their multiplication problem!

This creative lesson helped students strengthen their multiplication skills while combining math, problem-solving, and a little imagination!

Who knew building a city could make learning multiplication so much fun? ❤️🖤

🌮 Small Change, BIG Impact! 🚗🔧

Houston School District and Piney River Technical Center is excited to share that, thanks to the Taco Bell Round Up Grant, our new Automotive Technology program was able to purchase a COATS Wheel Balancer! This industry-standard equipment provides students with valuable hands-on experience as they develop real-world skills and prepare for future careers.

❤️ Here's why rounding up matters! Over the past two years, Taco Bell Round Up Grants have provided nearly $15,000 in support for Houston R-I School District! These funds have made a tremendous difference in the opportunities and resources we can provide our students.

The next time you visit Taco Bell, please say YES when asked to round up! Those few extra cents truly add up and make a lasting impact on our schools and community.

Thank you, Taco Bell, and everyone who chooses to round up and invest in our students! ❤️

🏁 BEYOND THE CLASSROOM: EXPLORING CAREERS AT THE NHRA! ❤️🖤

Learning took a different kind of turn for Mrs. Woolsey's Foods Class and several FCCLA members as they attended the NHRA Youth & Education Career Day at the St. Louis Speedway!

Students had the opportunity to tour several national food service transport vehicles, hear from guest speakers about the many career opportunities within the NHRA, and experience the excitement of drag racing firsthand!

From food service and transportation to the fast-paced world of motorsports, this experience gave our students a unique look at how classroom skills connect to real-world careers.

A big thank you to Mrs. Woolsey for providing our Tigers with opportunities to explore, learn, and discover future career possibilities beyond the classroom!
