Curious minds + hands-on learning = a blast! 🚀 Today our Martin Innovative Elementary students visited the Beta Box on the EJ Hayes campus, where they designed and built rockets — then tested to see how far each one would fly. It was a day full of creativity, teamwork, and joyful discovery.
Ready, set, GO! 🏁 Mrs. Beach, Mrs. Knox, and Mrs. Sprouse’s classes just competed in our first-ever Mario Kart race — with cardboard carts and homemade turtle-shell protectors created by Mrs. Sprouse’s students! Teams raced around the school, stopping at checkpoints run by Martin Innovative Elementary Program students who asked questions and handed out power-ups. The winning team was the first to answer all questions and reach the multipurpose room. We finished the day watching Mario Kart Galaxy together — a perfect celebration of creativity, teamwork, and learning.
Curious minds at work! Our PreK students recently visited the Imperial Center in Rocky Mount and had a blast exploring the Live Animal Gallery and interacting with traveling and permanent exhibits.
Mrs. Raynor's Pre K students spent an unforgettable week on the farm — they kept journals, learned how to milk a cow, and got to make fresh homemade ice cream! 🐄🍨 It was messy, fun, and full of learning moments.
