Mrs. Tyson’s class wrapped up reading The BFG and watched the movie adaptation to compare similarities and differences! 🎬✨
Our students also put their math skills to work by using their own money to buy movie snacks. They practiced the dollar up method to round their totals, make sure they had enough cash, and check for change.

✨ Inspiring the next generation of educators! ✨

Today, the Hancock County Educational Service Center curriculum/ instruction/ leadership team represented K-12 education careers at Raise the Bar’s Career Connections Day!

We challenged students to step into a teacher's shoes with "The 90 Second Spark Challenge" where they taught a skill or shared a passion, sparking curiosity and conversation. 🔥

It was amazing seeing local students light up as they realized that teaching starts with sharing what you love.

Pass it on! Share your spark—teach the world! 🌟
