🇺🇸 Mrs. Prince’s 7th Grade Social Studies class set sail into history! ⚓️
After studying the events leading up to the American Revolution, students learned about the Boston Tea Party and how colonists protested by dumping tea into the harbor. Then, they put their knowledge to the test by designing and building boats that could float with 28 bottles of tea onboard! 🚢💡
What a creative way to make history come alive! 👏 #HMSProud

🥞 Our FCSI students have been busy in the kitchen putting their learning to the test—literally! Yesterday, they experimented with different ingredients to observe how each one affects texture, taste, and appearance. Mrs. Beaver helped them use that knowledge to make pancakes from scratch—and even made a special one for Mr. Taylor, who enjoyed every bite! 👨🍳👏
