⛳💜 When Plans Change, We Pivot! 💜⛳
Our 4th grade team showed incredible flexibility after their field trip was canceled prior to spring break. After several attempts to reschedule, our teachers found a creative way to pivot — turning the day into an in-school mini golf experience that tied in math learning! 📏✨
While it wasn’t the original trip connected to their book study, it turned into a day full of fun, learning, and meaningful memories together.
Way to make the most of every moment, 4th grade! 💜🐬
