(12/19) DT Cox wants to celebrate our students' achievements!

(12/11) Our fourth graders had an incredible day on Wednesday! 🎶
They attended a performance by the Tupelo Golden Wave Orchestra, where students not only enjoyed beautiful music, but also got to explore a variety of instruments and hear the unique sounds each one makes.
After the performance, students enjoyed a picnic at Ballard Park, and had a blast playing on the new inclusive playground. 🌳✨ It was truly an amazing experience!
A huge thank you to the Tupelo Golden Wave Orchestra for welcoming our students, and giving them such a memorable opportunity! 🎻👏

(10/8) 🍎🍏 Apple Tasting Fun! 🍏🍎
As an extension to their study of apples, Mrs. Andrews’ and Mrs. Hodum’s classes became apple scientists! They explored three delicious kinds of apples — Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady. Students used their senses to observe the color, texture, and taste of each apple, then compared their favorites by creating a picture chart to show their favorite apples.

(10/3) Today, Mrs. Hodum's classes went on a scavenger hunt for the best looking leaves. Then, they created a project describing their best character traits because they are FALLing into good character!

(9/19) Today, Mrs. Hodum's students worked with partners to answer a worksheet about popcorn, and pointed out all the different text features within the passage. They celebrated with a popcorn snack!

(9/19) Our 3rd grade gifted classes have been busy researching giraffes, creating colorful posters, and confidently presenting their findings. Also, on International Dot Day (September 15th), students worked together to create a giant tessellation mural made of equilateral triangles and half circles—celebrating their creativity and collaboration! In addition to research, our students are sharpening their critical thinking skills during GRIT time—Games Really Increase Thinking! Whether they're playing strategy games or building with hands-on materials, students are developing their problem-solving skills, and innovative thinking in a fun and engaging environment. We’re so proud of the curiosity, dedication, and enthusiasm these young learners bring to every activity!

(9/12) Congratulations to the following students for receiving positive office referrals this week. Keep up the good work!

(8/22) In Ms. Britt’s class, students have been learning how to solve addition and subtraction word problems by looking for key words. This week, they took it a step further by creating their own math riddle! Each riddle included numbers, key words, characters, a setting, and an object. After writing and illustrating their riddles, classmates had the chance to solve them. They had so much fun creating these!
