Let’s cheer them on, support our school, and READ, READ, READ! 📚💛🖤

(9/21) Mrs. Hodum's students have been studying weather in science. To put their knowledge of weather to the test, her classroom engineers designed a structure they thought could withstand the damaging effects of the classroom “tornado” - the ceiling fan!
Students worked in teams to build structures using a variety of supplies. They had to work together to design a structure strong enough to withstand the speed of the fan! She had some young, crafty, and innovative engineers at work!

(9/18) Mrs. Hodum's class broke into teams and worked together to review reading comprehension questions and prepare for their weekly test!
They added a little friendly competition to make it even more fun. Students had to collaborate, explain their thinking, and even put their brains together to solve a little math along the way! Mrs. Hodum said, "I love watching them learn from one another and work together as a team!"

(9/18) Do you think you were seeing double today at DTC?! 👯‍♀️💕
If you didn’t know… Ms. Britt has an identical twin sister!! She came all the way from Tennessee to visit her classes today, and the kids had SO much fun asking her questions and listening to her read a book!

(9/18) Miss Mary Klaire and Mrs. Ann’s class had a wonderful day at the Special Olympics Fall Games! Special thank you to Ms. Lydia and Coach Hobson for joining in and helping out! Students participated in croquet, soccer skills, horseshoes, and cornhole! A great time was had by all!

(9/18) We had a touchdown of a lunch today! A huge THANK YOU to our amazing PTO for helping set up our Teacher Tailgate and providing a much-appreciated duty-free lunch for our staff!
