On Wednesday (9/7), Ms. Wishard and Mrs. Reynolds 6th grade self-contained, and Mrs. Skees with the DHH program came together to do an egg drop with their students! The students in these science classes have been working on learning about the scientific method and took a hands-on approach to test out their experiments. Each student designed their own contraption in hopes their egg would not break when dropped from certain heights. In order to make it interesting, the classes decided to invite the local fire department to bring their ladder truck to drop the eggs. The crew that came from Mattoon Fire Department even joined in on the fun and designed their own contraptions to compete with our students. The eggs were dropped from different heights, all the way up to 100 ft. off the ladder! The students really enjoyed the experiment, and even Mr. Pugh got to join in on the fun! One fireman and two students' eggs survived the 100 ft. drop. #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #MMS

Now that summer break is over, you’re probably getting back into the school-year routine. It’s a great time to remember the importance of breakfast. Studies show students who eat breakfast are more likely to pay attention in class, have stronger memories, and get better test scores. Get ideas to start their day off right with the link below from our friends at Aramark. https://www.fyp365.com/success-starts-with-breakfast/ #MCUSD2 #Mattoon
