Our students are diving deep into a Socratic discussion, challenging each other's ideas and exploring multiple perspectives. Yesterday's election may have sparked some questions and reflections, and today we're carrying that same spirit of inquiry and open dialogue into the classroom. The Socratic Method encourages critical thinking and listening, which are essential not just in academic settings but in understanding and engaging with the world around us. Through these conversations, our students are practicing the skills they’ll need as thoughtful, informed participants in our society—ready to listen, question, and contribute to meaningful discussions! #PantherNation

📐💫 Learning Through Leaps & Bungees! 💫📐
Mrs. Saegert's students dove into the world of statistics today with a hands-on Barbie Bungee experiment! Using the least squares regression line (LSRL), students made predictions on the perfect number of rubber bands to drop Barbie as close to the floor as possible—without touching! The stakes were high from both the 3rd floor and 2nd floor landings, resulting in some intense calculations and competition. We had winners from both floors, and a lot of fun with predictions and precision! #PantherNation
