(10/9) We hope you have a safe and restful Fall Break! See you back on Tuesday, October 20th!

(10/9) This past Thursday, Mrs. Tutor's class geared up for Fall Break by playing a classic game of Jenga with a slight twist. Each block corresponded with an ELA question. In order to get a point for the team, the question had to be answered correctly. The kids thoroughly enjoyed this game.

(10/9) What better way to start Fall Break than with snacks, good books, and few games after working hard on benchmarks all week? Ms. Spicer's students say there is NOTHING BETTER!

(10/9) Mrs. Heatherly's math students are learning area and perimeter. They played a game of Area Tetris, where they drew an area card and had to find all the dimensions that equal that area. Then, they had to find the best spot for their chosen dimensions to fill up their grid first. The goal was to have as few empty boxes as possible at the end.

(10/8) Mrs. Hodum's apple unit got a little creative! Students became creative illustrators as they used apple pieces as paintbrushes to paint their own apples and apple trees.
They explored how artists and illustrators use color, shape, texture, and nature to bring their ideas to life. The young artists had so much fun turning something as simple as an apple into a work of art!

(10/7) Miss Mary Klaire and Mrs. Ann’s classes, with help from Mr. Clayton, had a wonderful time visiting the Resource Center/BLOOM Program on ICC Tupelo’s campus! Students explored farm-related items, learned all about pumpkins, and discovered new topics through hands-on play centers.
They wrapped up their adventure with a picnic while enjoying the beautiful view of the geese! What a fun day of learning, exploring, and making memories!

(10/6) To wrap up their volcano unit and introduce their new apple science unit, Mrs. Hodum and Miss Camron’s classes teamed up for an Apple Volcano experiment!
Students worked in groups to conduct the experiment, make observations, and see science in action. They loved combining collaboration, hands-on learning, and a little messy fun!

(10/21) Bring your best smile with you on Wednesday, October 21st!
