What an amazing learning experience for our 1st graders! Students began by preparing a tadpole habitat and welcoming seven little tadpoles to their classroom. Over the next several weeks, they observed and documented the changes as their tiny tadpoles amazingly grew into frogs! On September 18, they released their last little frog! 🐸💚
Along the way, this project brought STEAM learning to life through science, technology, engineering, art, and math activities connected to their tadpoles and the frog life cycle. 🔬📸🎨
What a memorable way to learn by watching nature happen right before their eyes! 🐸✨
Our 5th graders took a hands-on approach to math as they constructed rectangular prisms and worked with partners to create composite figures and investigate volume!
Working together to build, calculate, and problem-solve took critical thinking and engagement to a whole new level! 💡👏 We love seeing math come to life at Jamesville! 💙✨
Our JES students have been busy putting technology to work! Kindergarten students used Bee-Bots to practice directional coding and letter recognition, while 1st graders used Bee-Bots for letter recognition and decoding CVC words. 🐝🔤2nd graders took on Indi cars, combining coding with mapping skills as they created their own maps of Jamesville Elementary! 🗺️🚗 So much hands-on learning, problem-solving, and FUN happening in STEAM! 💙✨
Our students are getting opportunities to step up, lead, and learn from one another in the classroom! Whether helping with a lesson, demonstrating a skill, or sharing their learning with classmates, these young leaders are building confidence along the way.
Way to lead, JES! 🌟

Our Jamesville first graders are beginning to learn all about measurement - and what better way to practice than measuring each other!
Hands-on learning makes math meaningful AND fun!
Opportunities for students to practice skills and gain confidence is a game changer in the classroom! 💪📖
We love seeing our students learning and growing together! ❤️🐾
Our students have been busy exploring their artistic side through fun, hands-on art activities in STEAM! 🖌️🌈 We love seeing their creativity, imagination, and individual expression come to life!
So many talented young artists at JES! 💙🎨✨
Our Jamesville 5th graders were seriously focused as they used technology in STEAM to create their own music! 🎵 From collaborating with classmates to experimenting with different sounds and proudly sharing their finished creations, these students were ALL IN!
Our Jamesville 5th graders put their math skills to work by creating their own multi-digit multiplication word problems! Through this activity, students practiced higher-order thinking, problem-solving, and critical thinking while collaborating with their peers. 🤝💡
We love seeing our students think, create, and learn together! 💙✨

Could its next chapter inspire a young student to fall in love with band?
That clarinet, trumpet, flute—or other band instrument that once filled your home with music—may be ready for an encore.
Martin County Schools’ growing Elementary Band Program is seeking previously loved instruments to help our youngest musicians take their very first steps into the world of music.
We have an immediate need for 1 clarinet, 1 trumpet, and 1 flute, and anticipate additional needs as the program continues to grow.
For a new student, your donated instrument could become more than something they learn to play. It could be the beginning of confidence, creativity, friendships, performances, and a love of music that stays with them for years to come.
🎺 Pass along the music.
Donated instruments may be dropped off at any MCS campus or at MCS Central Office, 407 East Boulevard, Williamston.

Our Jamesville students have been exploring different ways to create and express themselves! Students created artistic response pieces while listening to music and used Google Chrome Music Lab to experiment with sound and create music of their own! 🎵🖌️💻
From art and music to technology and hands-on learning, there are so many ways for our students to create, explore, discover, and shine in STEAM! 🌟💙
Students are learning to select the workspace that works best for them while also working collaboratively with their classmates. We love seeing our students take ownership of their learning! ✨
🎶🔬 Making MUSIC and exploring the science of sound in STEAM!
Our Jamesville students have been busy learning about pitch, sound, and vibrations through hands-on activities! Students designed and created their own pan flutes and kazoos as they explored how sounds are made and how pitch can change. 🎵
We LOVE seeing our students create, experiment, make music, and learn in STEAM! ✨
Our 4th and 5th grade students jumped right into hands-on learning with some fun STEAM activities on the very first day of school! What a great way to kick off a year of creating, exploring, problem-solving, and learning together! 🚀💡
