Shoutout to these 3rd grade students for passing their multiplication facts! Way to go!!
Today our 5th graders had a special treat right here at school! Thanks to Starbucks in Hickory, a Starbucks experience was set up for them to enjoy. After completing the math activity, students used their math skills to place their own drink orders.
It was a fun way to practice real-world math while enjoying a special reward. Thank you to Starbucks in Hickory for helping make this experience possible for our students! ☕️📚
