🍎 Teacher Appreciation Twist at Farmington! 🍎Today, our staff at Farmington enjoyed a Subway lunch—but the appreciation didn’t stop there! Putting science and reading into action, Mrs. Teitelbaum’s class turned those Subway boxes into learning tools. After reading an informational passage on how to build solar ovens, students jumped right in and began the first steps of creating their own. What a creative, hands-on way to review for their upcoming Science SOL! Now we look forward to them baking cookies in their solar ovens 🌞🍪
