One of the best days of the 7th Grade Year happened this past Monday as October 14 was #TortillaDay at Mission Middle School. Our 7th Grade Math students put Unit 2: Proportional Relationships to work by scaling family recipes and adjusting ingredients based on different serving sizes, and then some students got to help in the tortilla-making process. Big thanks to our 7th Grade Math Team (Ms. Kelly, Ms. Borchers, and Ms. Espinosa) for providing this opportunity for our Wildcats, and a huge shout-out to our awesome Family Liaison, Maribel Valle, and our wonderful parent volunteers who helped demonstrate the tortilla-making process!!! 🙏
