Teacher collaboration supports higher student achievement through innovation, efficient processes, leadership, group goals, values, skill acquisition, and communication. We also thank Shannon J. and Hailey P. from the CARE Mobile for stopping by Monett to provide free vaccines to students!

It's Math time at MECC! Students are working on five frames. Five frames allow students to place items in a single box to create a visual representation of the numbers 1-5. This process will also support students build stronger number relationships for various math concepts in the future.

We are super excited to meet our new students and their families! If you are new to Monett, come to SRTC to enroll your children! BIG shout out to our New Student Enrollment staff and CARE Mobile nurses for taking the time out of their busy schedules to help our Monett families!

CPE students in math class measured the range of motion using their knee, shoulder, and elbow joints. Students worked together to test how far their joints could rotate comfortably. Once done, students recorded the estimated angles and fractions.

ourth graders in K. Brown and Mrs. Allen's class were given tiles and worked together collaboratively to create a square with an area of 144 square units. They had to determine how many tiles each student was given to start with, find the sum of the tiles they had altogether as a group, and find the difference of how many tiles their group needed to equal 144 tiles in all.
