📚✨ Ms. Morin's 4th grade class at Pocahontas Elementary took math on the move by exploring math stories in the hallways earlier this semester! They worked on solving real-world problems, connecting math to stories they can relate to. This hands-on approach helps make math more meaningful and supports our students in becoming lifelong mathematicians! 🧮💡 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

🌵💖 At Flat Rock Elementary, Mrs. Dewey's second graders recently focused on learning about kindness and creativity in the library! 📚 They read "Nobody Hugs a Cactus" by Carter Goodrich and made their own heart-themed cacti. 💚🧡 One student shared a thoughtful insight: “You don’t hug them in real life. Not because you don’t like them, but they are prickly.” What a perfect way to remind us that kindness comes in all forms, even when things feel a little prickly! 🌵 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Mr. Hall’s students at Powhatan High School got creative with their pitches when they participated in an Industrial Revolution Shark Tank activity! 🦈 They worked in teams to research and pitch “innovative ideas” from the past—like steel skyscrapers and the transcontinental railroad—just as if they were happening in real-time. One of the funniest moments? A team throwing shade at the telegraph while pitching their own invention – a candlestick telephone! 😆 It was a fun way to bring history to life with a little bit of drama! 💡📚 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

In February, our 8th graders at Powhatan Middle School worked through writing stations that brought the Harlem Renaissance to life. Students explored Langston Hughes' powerful poem "The Weary Blues" and learned about Harlem's rich history through the article "Welcome to Harlem" from Junior Scholastic.
