Not all learning in Mr. Paul's class has to take place in the classroom as we can see in these photos.
The #HMS Gym can give the students time to have fun while getting exercise and learning.
Music has been proven to aide in learning and Mr. Paul's students can agree to that.
Even lunch can be a time to learn as Mr. Paul and his students spent some time with everyday heroes learning how to #SoarAboveTheRest.
The students in Mr. Paul's classroom spent some time learning about their bearded dragon, making a garden, building furniture for both, and checking that the lighting was just right so that the garden and the beaded dragon could both #SoarAboveTheRest while at #HMS.
Mr. Paul and his class have had a lot of fun while learning many wonderful things at #HarrisMiddleSchool during the first half of the 2025-2026 school year.
This post is the first of several post to come over the next few days that will help to showcase the wonderful work being done in the classroom of Mr. Paul at #HMS that is helping his students to #SoarAboveTheRest.
