Our students have been diving deep into their space unit in STEM class, and this week they had an out-of-this-world experience in The Mobile Planetarium! 🚀🌌
Inside the dome, students took a journey through space—spotting constellations, watching the sun rise and set in minutes, and exploring our galaxy like true astronomers.
A huge thank-you to Mrs. McNatt, Toyota, and the University of Mississippi for making this incredible learning experience possible! 🌟

(12/12) In order to prepare for the upcoming benchmark test, students in Ms. Spicer's class played a minesweeper-like game to prepare for testing. Students worked so hard at finding answers in text that it ended in a sudden death match with everyone in the room cheering on the winners!

(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!
