I am excited to recognize the incredible work of Mrs. Moe, who recently led her students through a powerful Project-Based Learning (PBL) experience that integrated math into a hands-on lunch box design project. Through this culturally responsive approach, students applied mathematical concepts in a meaningful and creative way, designing their own lunch boxes while exploring real-world problem-solving skills.
Mrs. Moe’s dedication to engaging all learners through relevant, student-centered instruction is a wonderful example of how we bring learning to life at Lincoln Middle School. Thank you, Mrs. Moe, for inspiring our students and fostering a love for learning!
