After writing heartfelt letters to veterans for Veteran's Day, our 5th graders received a special visit from local veteran Kevin Kraft. Touched by their kindness, he came to personally thank the students and brought a thoughtful gift for each of them.
Thank you, Mr. Kraft, for your service and for making this a day to remember! ❤️✨

Last week in Mrs. McComsey's class, we mixed math with a little baking magic! 🎂✨ Learning how to follow a recipe isn’t just about making delicious treats; it’s all about applying math skills like measurements, fractions, and sequencing. Our lesson for the day turned into a sweet success as we whipped up a yellow cake, brownies, and Reese’s peanut butter bars! The students practiced accuracy, teamwork, and patience – and enjoyed some tasty rewards in the end! 👩🍳👨🍳 #MathInTheKitchen #BakingWithMrsMcComsey #LearningIsSweet #TaylorMiddleSchool #TaylorTide
