Making math make sense! Third grade used place value mats and chips to build numbers, making it easier to "see" the value. Skittles are used to build multiplication arrays as an introduction into to fascinating world of multiplication and division! #MTA #Math ✖➗
Kindergarten created one of Mrs. Rodgers favorite lessons of the year in Art class yesterday: apple printing! Students have begun ABC bootcamp and, as usual, Mrs. Vella and Mrs. Rodgers always love collaborating to make things more fun throughout the week for our students. Students learned about the star inside of an apple, talked about the different colors that apples come in, and learned how to create a good print by pressing and not twisting their apples. These prints always turn out so cool! #MTA #CreateAnyway 🍏🍎
Kindergarten kicked off ABC Bootcamp with an Apple Fest! They met Super Vowel A, taste-tested red, green, and yellow apples, made their own applesauce (they decided store bought was better), tried apple juice and apple cider, and finished the day with apple pie! #MTA #ABCBootcamp 🍎🍏
Our Garden Club was busy last week preparing the vegetable boxes for winter. The girls also found a praying mantis and decided to keep it as a classroom pet! #MTA #GardenClub 🪴
First grade took a break last week and created some bead jewelry and doodle art using marbles with Mrs. Rodgers! Doodles were created by using a marble that the students pushed around on their papers and created crazy shapes and wiggly lines. Students got to work on their fine motor skills, as they created their bead jewelry and marble drawings as they are both ALL about focus and training our hand muscles! They were all smiles as they took their bead hearts and sculptures home with them! #MTA #CreateAnyway 📿
Kindergarten learned about paintbrush rules and keeping their paint brushes on the tips of their hairs in art class yesterday! They watched a Mr. Paintbrush video and practiced all the rules, like not smashing his hair, wiping the extra water (or paint) off your brush, holding the paintbrush correctly, and putting them away! They were AWESOME artists and created disappearing artworks using water and purple paper! Great job MTA artists, next comes real paint!! #MTA #CreateAnyway 🖌
It has been a great start to the school year at MTA! Today, fifth grade learned all about sound in science class. They learned how sound is created and how it travels. They finished the lesson off making string telephones. #MTA #Science 📞

Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? According to the Perry’s Ice Cream website, Americans eat 23 gallons of ice cream each year! And since the most amount of ice cream is eaten in July, President Ronald Reagan named July National Ice Cream Month in 1984. We are so lucky to have some pretty great ice cream shops in & around the city of Erie, so we hope you get a chance to visit your favorite one during National Ice Cream Month. Even Mr. Ladouceur enjoys ice cream on a hot, summer day – his favorite is Chocolate/Vanilla twist with a crunch coat from Whippy Dip. What are the favorites of some of our other MTA Saints?? #NationalIceCreamMonth 🍦
We would like to wish everyone a very happy and safe Fourth of July!! #MTA #HappyFourthofJuly🎇
