We escaped! 🎉 Students showed such cooperation and determination as they solved various math problems to “escape the Coordinate Plane Airways!” #teamwork #marsstars

We are thrilled and thankful to be able to supply ALL MarsEstates_BCPS students with school supplies this year. Parents/caregivers, please note: There are no supply lists because you won’t need to purchase supplies. #marsstars

We have some more good news for our families. Thanks to the generosity of our friends @SSNBaltimoreCo and other friends and family of MarsEstates_BCPS, ALL students will be provided with a new backpack this year. Can’t wait to give them out on August 26 at our Summer Social!

This brother-sister after-school greeting fills my heart with so much joy! Their embrace shows their true love and excitement to see one another! #marsstars MarsEstates_BCPS

Cooperation, teamwork, problem solving, and fun was had this morning in fifth with Jocelyn Richards! #marsstars

What a great day in math class exploring area! These scholars were on point! Kelly O'Connell

“Take what you need, leave what you can.” 5th grade mathematicians reminded themselves of who they are as they persevered through their Pre-Assessment today! So proud of their hard work! #marsstars Kelly O'Connell

I visited Jocelyn Richards’ math class today and her scholars were so excited to explain their mathematical thinking. I was not only impressed with their work but with their enthusiasm for learning! #NumberCornerWins #marsstars

When schools are closed for students and your kids knock on the window to say hello while you’re working. 💕Jocelyn Richards @MissKazin Kelly O'Connell

I’m obsessed with the different ways my mathematicians found surface area for the different rectangular prisms! We realized that my friend Brad could save money and cardboard depending on how he packed his baseballs! Kelly O'Connell #marsstars

Spotted: on task students engaging in reading and writing! #marsstars MarsEstates_BCPS Jocelyn Richards

I am loving this math anchor resource that helps record student thinking during math class! Finding equivalencies using money amounts, mats, strips, and units help make learning make sense! #marsstars MarsEstates_BCPS Jocelyn Richards

These mathematicians used food blue and yellow food coloring to explain the meaning of equivalent ratios! Kelly O'Connell

When your student asks you to come watch her demo- you go! So super proud of her hard work! Jocelyn Richards Kelly O'Connell

It’s pajama day and this group rocked the bonnets! What a spirited bunch! Jocelyn Richards #marsstars
