πΈ TMSCA Spring Homeschool Programs have officially begun! πΈ
We had an amazing start, spotting hundreds of springtails gathered on a rock! πͺ¨β¨
Springtails are tiny arthropods in the Class Collembola, Order Poduromorpha. They have adorable chunky bodies, short legs, and a special jumping mechanism called a furcula. While they mostly crawl across rocks and soil, if startled, they can spring into the air with impressive speed! π
Springtails love gathering in groups, especially in moist areas. Donβt worry β theyβre completely harmless and donβt bite! πΎ
If you spot some on your next nature walk, grab a magnifying glass and take a closer look. Their lively antics are sure to make you smile! ππ

April Fools! π The Pre-Calculus students were thrilled to have just one homework problemβ¦ until they realized nobody got it right! π± But with teamwork, some colorful whiteboard strategy, and a little perseverance, they cracked the code. Lesson learned: sometimes, the trickiest problems are the most fun! π
