(3/5) Mrs. Hodum's class read "The Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss, and then watched the animated version to compare and contrast the book and the video. Students discussed similarities and differences in characters, setting, and events. To wrap up, they designed their own creative hats and imagined their own Cat-inspired adventures, bringing their learning to life in a fun and engaging way.

(3/5) We would eat them in a box.
We would eat them with a fox.
We would eat them here or there…
We would eat Green Eggs and Ham anywhere! 💚🍳
A big THANK YOU to our amazing cafeteria team for serving up this fun treat today to help us celebrate Read Across America Week. Our students loved it! We appreciate all the hard work our cafeteria staff does each day to make the cafe' a special place at DT Cox! 📚✨

(3/3) Mrs. Hodum’s class put a fun twist on benchmark review! ✏️🎉
Students teamed up with a partner to “dissect” their story, digging deeper into the details and strengthening their understanding. Then they wrapped it up with an exciting round of Kahoot! for review! Learning + teamwork + a little friendly competition = a great day in class!

(3/3) For National Anthem Day, one of our very own class Writing Warriors, Cora Hill, took the lead and taught an engaging writing lesson on why “The Star-Spangled Banner” is a great choice for our national anthem! 🇺🇸
She kicked things off with a song to set the tone, then guided her classmates through common mistakes to avoid when using the RACES writing strategy. We are so proud of her leadership, confidence, and hard work! Way to go, Cora! ✨

(2/27) Our Beta Club students showed what service truly means today! They brought in donations and worked together to pack a special thank-you basket for the PEPA workers who helped our community during the recent ice storm. We are so proud of their servant hearts and willingness to give back. Thank you, Beta Club, for making a difference! 🖤💛📦

(2/27) The DT Cox Warrior Club seeks to encourage future leaders in the areas of citizenship, service and responsibility. We are proud to announce our featured Warrior club member of the month- Jaxon Russell.

(2/23) Oh, the places you’ll go when you open a book!
From silly to serious, take a big look!
Dress up each day and join in the fun —
A week full of reading for everyone!

(2/26) Mrs. Brown’s 3rd grade music classes have been studying about the culture and instruments of China as a part of the World Music unit. They enjoyed touching a real Erhu instrument from the country. The string instrument features two strings mounted on a python-skinned sound box.

(2/25) Last night, we proudly welcomed our newest members into the Beta Club during a special induction ceremony. These students have demonstrated outstanding character, leadership, and academic excellence, and we are so proud of their hard work and dedication.
Congratulations to each of our new Beta Club members—we can’t wait to see all the great things you will accomplish! 💛🖤

(2/24) Our Sock Hop and Shop was a rockin’ success! We want to give a huge thank you to all the wonderful grandparents and family members who came out to shop with our students today. You helped make the day extra special, and it was so much fun seeing everyone join in the sock hop spirit. Because of you, our cool cats made sweet memories and found some groovy new reads! Thank you for making it such a fantastic day! 🎶📚
