In Ms. Warren’s third-grade class at Manchester Elementary School, students partnered up to sort and review parts of speech—nouns, verbs, adjectives, and more—bringing grammar to life with hands-on practice and a splash of color.

After learning about binary code on Monday, Maggie Terrill from Mrs. Cotton’s fourth-grade class at Manchester Elementary School had an idea—she asked if she could leave a coded message for her classmates to solve the next morning. When students arrived Tuesday, they were greeted with her coded message written in binary. The class worked together to decode her message which read: "good morning class." (The class has only practiced lowercase binary letters so far.)
