Third graders in Mrs. Leff’s class at Woodward Parkway had a blast using Skittles to explore the Commutative Property of Multiplication! By building arrays (rows and columns) with the candies, students didn't just memorize a rule; they discovered the property. This hands-on activity is a fun, hands-on way to make sense of a key multiplication rule!

After reading The Story in the Cave in Geodes, Mrs. DeRuvo’s first graders at Woodward Parkway stepped back in time to explore the famous cave paintings of Lascaux, France. They discussed how early artists told stories through their drawings deep inside the caves. Then, students got to create their own “cave paintings” by working under their desks — just like real caves! Using craft paper and earth-tone crayons, they filled their “cave walls” with stags, bulls, and bison.
