Learning comes to life through music! 🎶🔔🌈

Students in Ms. Tammy Britton’s class at Millet Learning Center had a colorful lesson with Ms. Sara during music class! Using bells, music, and plenty of hands-on participation, students explored different colors while learning through sound, movement, and play.

It was a fun and engaging way to bring music and learning together while giving students another opportunity to explore, participate, and enjoy making music with their classmates! 🎵💙

Students from Millet Learning Center recently took a trip to Wilderness Trails Zoo, where they spent the day exploring and learning about animals big and small. Students had the chance to feed some of the animals and even get up close to a few new friends during the Rainforest Encounter! 🐒🦜

Throughout the experience, students did a wonderful job being safe, respectful, and responsible around the animals while enjoying a fun day of hands-on learning.

What a great adventure for Ms. Ashley’s class! 🐾💚

Corey Nichols, Jerome STEM Principal, would like to nominate Matthew Hirschenberger, one of our Family Service Advocates, for an Orange Frog shout-out.

Matthew transferred to Jerome this year and quickly jumped in to help wherever he was needed. He has been incredibly flexible and willing to step into many different roles to provide support to students, families, and staff.

Matthew continues to build strong relationships with the families he serves, regularly checks in with teachers, and is never afraid to fill in or lend a hand anywhere around our school.

Matthew, thank you for being someone we can count on and for being willing to jump in!

Saginaw ISD Instructional Services invites educators to The Science of Learning, a dynamic two-day professional learning experience grounded in research from cognitive science, neuroscience, and educational psychology.

Participants will explore how the brain processes, stores, and retrieves information and, most importantly, how to translate that research into practical strategies that can be used in the classroom.

📅 October 1 & October 22
📍 Saginaw ISD Central Campus

Ready to dig into the science behind learning and bring new strategies back to your students?
