(4/2) Ms. Luther’s class had a fun and engaging review today as her student teacher,Ms. McGinn, led a lively game of “Boom, Clap, Snatch” to practice multiplication facts! Students were all smiles as they worked on building their skills in an exciting and interactive way. Way to make learning fun!

(4/2) Several third grade classes put a fun twist on test prep this week with an exciting “Test Prep Egg Hunt!” 🐣📚 Students searched for hidden eggs filled with math and ELA questions, then worked together in teams to solve them. This interactive review kept everyone engaged, encouraged collaboration, and made practicing important skills both exciting and memorable. We are so proud of their hard work as testing gets closer—they are getting ready!

(4/2) While reviewing area and perimeter, Mrs. Bryant and Mrs. Shields’ classes headed outside to measure the playground using their own unique tools—pencils, feet, hands, and even their bodies!


Students worked together to estimate, compare, and problem-solve as they figured out the area and perimeter in creative ways. It was a fun, hands-on way to bring math to life!

(4/2) The students at DT Cox have been learning the fundamentals of tennis through a fun and engaging activity called Balloon Tennis. Mrs. Bishop taught them how to keep score, and practice important skills such as striking the balloon using both forehand and backhand techniques. The students have really enjoyed learning this game while building their coordination and confidence.

(4/1) We’re so lucky to have these wonderful ladies as part of the DTC family!
