Wagoner's Math 3 students recently completed their 3D Animal Volume Project

Students designed and built their own animals using 3D shapes, then applied their math skills to calculate the total volume of their creations. Using rulers to measure dimensions, they worked through real-world applications of volume while bringing their ideas to life.

From turtles to elephants and everything in between, the creativity was amazing—and so was the math thinking behind each project.

Coach Lytton’s first- and third-period classes participated in mock trials. Students were assigned different roles such as attorneys, assistant attorneys, and witnesses. They worked together as teams to present and argue their cases in an effort to win. Students were required to understand proper courtroom procedures and use appropriate legal vocabulary to support their arguments. Through this hands-on activity, students gained a deeper understanding of how the court system works and what is expected of those who serve within it today.

SENIORS! If you do not see your picture, it's because you have not sent Mrs. Allen a picture of you from kindergarten or 1st grade. We sincerely want to add you to this spectacular display of your educational journey. If you do not have a kindergarten or 1st grade picture, that's okay, just send Mrs. Allen a picture of you when you were younger, or come by and see her in the library so we can create a solution together. Thank you.
