📏📦 Exploring Volume in Math! 🔢✏️
Today, our students put their math skills to work with a hands-on investigation of rectangular prisms! 🌟
Working in groups, students measured the dimensions of different rectangular prisms and used their measurements to calculate the volume of each one. They then compared and contrasted their findings to discover whether prisms with the same volume always have the same dimensions! 🤔💡
We LOVE seeing our students collaborating, thinking critically, and discovering math concepts through hands-on learning! 👏📚

🔥🔍 Future Fire Investigators at Rodgers! 🔍🔥
Our School Resource Officer, Officer Wilkerson, led an exciting Fire Safety Week presentation for our 5th grade CUBS! 🚒
Students learned about the causes of fires, how investigators determine where a fire started, arson, and the patterns fires leave behind as they burn. They even got to observe the pattern of a controlled fire and connect it to something they are learning in science, chemical changes! 🔬🔥
What an exciting way to bring classroom learning to life! We definitely have some future fire investigators on our hands! 💙🐻👏

MCS is excited to announce that we have been selected to participate in the NC AI Ecosystems Project, a statewide cohort powered by Playlab and supported by the Levine Family Foundation!
This initiative is centered on fostering true AI agency—empowering our school community to create custom AI tools that directly align with our district's goals and priorities.
Here’s a look at our progress so far:
District Leadership in Action: Our team recently attended Convening #1, gaining hands-on experience designing and building custom AI apps to tackle real-world challenges in our district.
Student Creators Lead the Way: A select group of middle and high school students is already getting in on the action! Following specialized training, these students stepped into the builder's seat and created their very own custom apps.
Our goal goes far beyond AI literacy. We are building AI agency: equipping educators and students to build with AI, not just use it.
Stay tuned as we continue this work to bring sustainable, creative, and responsible AI innovation to our classrooms!
