Thank you Cold Spring Farm for hosting @MacdSchool and teaching us about gardens, animals, and composting! @jenna_vandon @mikulakmacd @macgovernance @MiddletownPS We loved seeing where our Harvest of the Month comes from! #localfood #farmtotable

With 8 straws and tape, how many friends (apple candies) can you fit on your broomstick that must “fly” at least 2 inches above the table? #STEMatMacdonough #Macdonoughproud @macgovernance @MacdSchool @MiddletownPS #RoomontheBroom

PBL Kickoff Event @MCHSCT. An awesome trip off campus and kids loved seeing historical artifacts! They’re pumped to begin their unit on historic Middletown, CT. Thanks Jesse! @macgovernance @MacdSchool @MiddletownPS #WhateverItTakes

When you have to bring your kiddo to set up your classroom but you work at a STEM Academy and have the best colleagues ever!! @STEM_MAC @AmandaAmtmanis @macgovernance @MacdSchool #WhateverItTakes #ilovemac

2nd graders @MacdSchool visited our classrooms and were super excited to learn about next year during our very first Move Up Day! #WhateverItTakes #ridethewave Can’t wait for this energy in the fall!!

Meet the newest 3rd grade friends- we have CRAYFISH!! Scientists @MacdSchool are learning about living systems and studying the structural adaptations and environmental living conditions of the crayfish 🦐 @FOSSscience

3rd grade engineers @MacdSchool modified seeds to meet the criteria for various seed dispersal techniques @FOSSscience #STEMChallenge Kids covered seeds with bright “fruit”, made them float, designed sticky exteriors to stick to animals, and “popped” from parent plants!

So proud of this young lady for representing @MacdSchool tonight at the Middletown Historical Society. 3rd graders @MiddletownPS shared their research and learning through personal essays for the @MiddletownHist writing contest. Congratulations to all winners and families.

3rd graders @MacdSchool outside to do some planting in our @MSchoolGardens #farmtoschool @FOSSscience Thanks @mikulakmacd and Farmer Jenna! 🥬🥕🥒

3rd grader @MacdSchool and January’s Engineer of the Month always finding clever ways to solve problems! “Look, now my bucket won’t keep flying off!” @jukinsmacd

3rd graders investigate how temperature affects the density of water @MacdSchool @macgovernance @STEM_MAC

Normally our need to repurpose rooms is not something to celebrate BUT today our conference room doubled as a relaxation station and I couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you @DamianSHReardon for organizing this! @macgovernance @MacdSchool #WhateverItTakes #ilovemac

Just can’t hide that #MacdonoughPride❤️❤️ 3rd graders @MacdSchool show their school spirit today!

So happy this young lady got to represent 3rd grade @MacdSchool on Friday at #HolidayonMain @MiddletownPS She had a blast. This is always a lovely evening 🎄

So much to be thankful for @MacdSchool Had a wonderful Macsgiving before leaving for break. #tradition #WhateverItTakes #thankful

3rd graders @MacdSchool create rectangles with a given area in square feet and construct them on our classroom floor! #STEMatMacdonough @IllustrateMath

Is it true that teaching can often leave you feeling overwhelmed and rundown? Yes. Is it also true that @macgovernance continues to support staff and truly make them feel appreciated?! Also yes. Staggering to be on the other side of #WhateverItTakes @MacdSchool Thank you ❤️

Engineering a new sturdier design for #roomonthebroom #STEMatMac @MacdSchool @macgovernance #MacSTEMAcademy Perseverance pays off!

Yesterday’s opinion writing ✍️@AmandaAmtmanis Pretty sure some kiddos still think it was me in a costume #nailedit 🙌🏼🤣 @MacdSchool
