DT Cox Elementary School Home

(1/16) Mrs. Steele’s classes learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the lasting impact he had and still has today. Students participated in an “eggsperiment” that demonstrated how eggs may have different outer appearances, like people, but on the inside they are all the same. Students discussed equality and the importance of treating people equally no matter their differences.

(1/16) Congratulations to the following students for receiving positive office referrals this week. Keep up the good work!

(1/15) DT Cox Beta Club members are excited about the upcoming officer election!

(1/12) Sweet learning in Mrs. Kirk’s class! 🍬📊
Students used a fun, hands-on Smarties activity to review fraction vocabulary they learned last week. They identified the whole, unit fractions, and fractions of each color, then showed their understanding by drawing models and number lines. Learning is always sweeter when it’s hands-on!

(1/9) Mrs. Collums' classes started the first week of January off right by beginning their Fraction unit. Students rotated through centers modeling fractions. They used fraction strips to help give them the conceptual representation, and fraction mats to help them visualize and model fractions.

(1/8) Students celebrated what would have been Elvis Presley’s 91st birthday by learning about his life, music, and lasting legacy. A fun way to honor the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll! 👑🎶

(1/8) Ms. Shield's students kicked off the new year by reading "One Word for Kids," and talking about how to make this their best year yet! Students chose one word that represents what they want for the year, wrote about it's meaning, and made a bracelet as a daily reminder. Such a meaningful way to start the year!

(1/6) For their first day back, students in Ms. Spicer's class worked on two exciting activities. First, they set a one word goal for the year with their plans on how to execute their goal. Then, they were challenged to solve a mystery to prepare for their next novel study, "Bud, Not Buddy." The book was set during the Great Depression. In order to acquire background knowledge about that time period, the students worked in groups to solve a mystery about what happened a family that left all of a sudden.
