🪴🛠️PLANTING KNOWLEDGE🛠️🪴 Five Martin County School District plant operators recently ventured to the annual Florida School Plant Management Association (FSPMA) conference to grow their job knowledge and skills. Steve Miller (The Pinewood Elementary), Gilberto Calderon (Bessey Creek Elementary School), Jonathan Sequiera (Crystal Lake Elementary School), Edgardo Rivera (Jensen Beach Elementary School), and Dana Martin (SDO) attended the conference along with our Safety Manager, Mark Cocco. They learned important health and safety updates from the Florida Department of Education and engaged in learning about maintenance and proper groundskeeping. Steve Miller was lucky enough to even participate in the podcast "Beyond Clean with ACE!" We look forward to the knowledge plant operators will be sharing after the conference. Shoutout to MCSD Professional Learning Department for making this trip happen! #ALLINMartin👊 #MCSDBetterTogether💫

Mrs. Engel's Heggerty Heroes for the month of September! These students have been working hard by fully participating in our phonemic awareness lessons! Congratulations!

Mrs. Engel's first graders wore blue to support no bullying!

Students in Mrs. Homan's class collaborated and practiced their math skills in some fun math centers! Rock star second graders!

As we wrap up our units on life-cycles, practices of science, and math equations, the students in Mrs. McIntyre's First grade class demonstrated all their new gained knowledge! The students used their 5-senses to describe an apple. What does an apple sound like? They used scientific vocabulary to order and describe the life-cycle of an apple. Using a math strategy of choice, the students created a mathematical story problem about apples on and off a tree. They were so creative!
