Mr. V

Lock in, we’re Moonbound. Artemis II astronauts are more than halfway to their destination, and preparations for lunar flyby are underway. During their trip around the far side of the Moon, they will capture imagery to share with scientists (and you, too!).

Polls are open. Let’s make this happen. Send Mr V. To Hawaii and get MRM a cool assembly. Let’s go!!! Vote often. lol americasfavteacher.org/2026/c-j-vivac…

Even on vacation we are learning about Earth Science with Mr.V. Alex (LMS) and Liam (MRM) got lessons all day. I am sure they were thrilled. #MRMScience7 #Topography #Volcanoes

So proud of our Ts, TAs and especially our Ss in our 12:1:4 rooms. They are starting a “Grounds For Growth” coffee cart and will be supplying the teachers with much needed caffeine. Today I got a special gift so I can show off my Coffee at the Corner! Love this!!

New constraints added today. Budget! What? We have a limit to what we can “buy”. Yep. Real Life Problem Solvers #MRMScience7 Earthquake Tower Engineering Challenge.

Earthquake Design Challenge began today. Learning about the Design Process and how engineers design/reinforce structures in seismically active areas. Today was an R&D day learning about our Constraints. #MRMScience7

First ever edition of #BucketBanter with Coach V. Mason did a great job considering I didn’t tell him what we were doing before I came up with this idea. But only 5 gas stations is weak!

Student dressed as Coach V!! Love it. He forget the beard.

Tortoise shells have nerve endings and are sensitive to the slightest touch. This tortoise at Badger Run Wildlife Rehab loves to feel her shell scratched, so a kind volunteer made her a scratching device. 📽: Badger Run Wild Rehab / Caters News

Teacher Appreciation Night for 🏐. So great to see all the seniors and especially grateful to represent Elise. Congrats on all your success and future as a Nursing Student. #ProudTeacher

Suspension bridges aren't rigid and can move significantly in high winds. This dramatic footage shows the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York City swaying and producing eerie noises as its expansion joints creak and shift. 📽: Peter Buccheri
