Sanford Middle School

Hot wheels lab! Students in Mrs. Young’s 8th grade Science classes are investigating the factors that affect acceleration by comparing the speeds of different hot wheels cars as they roll down ramps.

Mrs. Long’s 6th grade classes hard at work with math stations focusing on least common multiple, greatest common factor, IXL skills, and Prime Factorization! 💙💛

From perfecting cheers to diving into ELA station rotations, our SMS classrooms are packed with energy, focus, and fun! 🌟

Here’s a peek at what our students have been up to lately:
✨Math and Science Essentials: Breaking down core concepts and building confidence, one problem at a time.
✨Cheer Practice and PE: Putting in the hard work, mastering routines, and building teamwork on the mat.
✨Blind Skittles: Testing their senses, communication, and strategy in this exciting hands-on activity!
✨Diving deep into independent reading, sparking lively discussions during our summer reading debate, achieving a writing level up, and expanding our vocabulary!

Every day brings a new adventure at SMS!
