NUMERACY NOVEMBER: WEEK 1 It’s time for our first Numeracy November Family Challenge! ⭐ WEEK 1: MATH IN THE KITCHEN! 🥣 This week, make something together and discover how much math happens right in your kitchen! 🥄 Measure ingredients 🔢 Count items ⏰ Set a timer 🥛 Talk about cups, teaspoons, halves, and fourths ➗ Older students can try doubling or halving the recipe! 📸 Snap a picture of your family using math in the kitchen and post them in the comments! Mrs. Wilson will have a surprise for each student who posts a picture of them doing the math challenge this week! Math isn’t just something we do at school—it’s everywhere! See the attached image for a few ideas of how you can use math in the kitchen based on your grade level.

💗 Today, we honor our very own breast cancer survivors at PES! Your courage, strength, and perseverance inspire us, and we are grateful to celebrate you as part of our school family. We also stand beside those still fighting and remember those we hold close in our hearts. Together, we share hope, show support, and remind one another that no one walks alone. 🎀🐾

Digging Deeper into Data to Help Every Student Grow! 📊📚 Thank you to Dr. Layne Dillard from the Alabama State Department of Education for guiding our team through a valuable professional learning opportunity focused on examining student data more closely. By identifying strengths, uncovering learning gaps, and connecting our findings to the standards, we can better tailor instruction to give each student the support and challenges they need to grow toward mastery. At Phillips Elementary, we are committed to learning together so our students can achieve more! 🐾

Mrs. Gray's 2nd graders kept the Halloween festivities rolling while using pumpkins to make arrays! How fun 🎃

3rd graders in Mrs. Humphries’ math class participated in a real-world activity as they practiced using the distributive property of multiplication by becoming Distributive Doctors. This was such a fun, engaging activity!

We appreciate Mrs. Coan! Thank you for leading Phillips Elementary with heart, dedication, and a genuine love for our students and staff.
