🍎 Five Senses Apple Center Day! 🍎 Students and families had a fantastic morning exploring the five senses through fun, hands-on apple-themed activities! From tasting to touching, seeing to smelling, and even hearing the crunch our Kindergarten learners were fully immersed in the experience. This exciting event showcased the Cambridge attribute of Engagement as students actively participated, asked questions, and made meaningful connections through sensory exploration. Thank you to all the families who joined us for this memorable day of learning! 🍏🍎 #BCEGators #LearningInAction #UnstoppableTogether

🍎 Kindergarten Mathematicians at Work! 🍏 “You have 5 apples. They can be red, yellow, and green. Show what you could have.” Our Kindergartners dove into this open-ended problem using Building Thinking Classrooms strategies by collaborating, discussing, and using visuals to explore all the possibilities! Through collaboration, students drew and shared their thinking, demonstrating curiosity, creativity, and perseverance, all hallmarks of the Cambridge International Learner trait: Engagement.💡🌍 #BCEgators #LearningInAction #UnstoppableTogether
