DT Cox Elementary School Home

(5/8) Mrs. Hodum's class combined creativity and heartfelt writing by designing flower portraits using recycled materials. To go along with their artwork, each student wrote a poem celebrating the mother figures in their lives. This special activity allowed students to express gratitude, practice writing skills, and reflect on the important people who care for them.

(5/8) A huge THANK YOU to our amazing DTC PTO for making Teacher Appreciation Week so special for our teachers and staff! From sweet treats to thoughtful surprises all week long, your generosity and support mean so much to our school family.

(5/7) Congratulations to the following students for receiving positive office referrals this week. Keep up the good work!

(5/7) Mrs. Collums' class teamed up for a new engaging way to prep for their Math State Test.
Each group had to answer review questions, then write them on their boogie boards. If each person in the group got the answer correct they received 2 Popcubes. At the end of the review, the students had to work together to create something within 5 minutes using all of their cubes.

(5/7) Today, several fourth grade classes had the opportunity to show that they are “more than a score.” They were reminded that while their teachers know they are great at math and reading, they wanted to learn about the many other things that make them special.
Students shared their incredible talents and interests in so many ways — artwork, sports, gymnastics, cheerleading, pageants, cooking, fishing, and more. One student even shared the beautiful story of being adopted and how that makes them unique.
They loved learning more about each other and celebrating the many amazing qualities that make every student special.

(5/7) Ms. Jones' class reviewed for their Math state test with a fun game of Capture the Flag! Students solved math problems, worked together, and stole flags from classmates to earn points for their team. Such a fun way to practice and prepare for testing!

(5/6) Third grade math classes celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a delicious twist on learning! Some classes tasted a variety of dips—salsa, cheese, guacamole, and bean dip—then collected data and created their own bar graph to show their favorites. Other classes practiced their math skills with fun Cinco de Mayo themes!

(5/6) Ms. Spicer’s class worked hard on testing for two days, so they wrapped it up with a fun classroom talent show and share! From geckos and Legos to collections, star athletes, and even future makeup artists—this group is full of talent. What a fun way to celebrate their hard work!

(5/6) DTC Beta Club members are collecting items from a Summer Wish List to support Tupelo Children's Mansion. Check out the attached list to see how you can help! Students who bring a donation will earn a popsicle at recess
