These are not just books; they are keys to open doors to imagination, creativity, and creating a life-long love for reading. 📚🌟 #ReadySetGrow #CES

Students in Mrs. Brown's 7th Grade Science classes used an app called "Explore" and the help of a special guest, "Mr. Body," to guide them through an interactive lesson. By the end of the class, students were able to learn how the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and other systems interact with each other to perform life processes. It was an engaging way for students to gain a deeper understanding of how the human body works together as a whole. The Explore app really helped bring the content to life, and having Mr. Body there gave them a visual. #4Cs #RoarANDSoar
