(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!

(10/2) After completing a unit on weather and natural disasters students in Ms. Spicer's room did a great job making a visual model of a natural disaster: hurricanes (not pictured Brooklyn Miller) , tornadoes, a tsunami, a volcano (not pictured Garrett Boyett) and a blizzard .

(10/2) Congratulations to the following students for receiving positive office referrals. Keep up the good work!

(10/2) Mrs. Hodum's 4th graders reviewed bioluminescence in a fun, hands-on way while preparing for their benchmark! They practiced collaboration, teamwork, and test-taking skills—all while learning and having a little glow in the dark fun!

(10/2) To review for upcoming benchmarks, Mrs. Roe’s students are diving into the science of bioluminescence! After watching videos about this fascinating topic, students are practicing using text evidence and reviewing important informational text skills.
And the best part? They’re using their answers to crack a secret code!
Learning is definitely glowing in Mrs. Roe’s classroom!

(10/2) Mark your calendars!! Our annual Book or Treat is coming soon! On Monday, October 26th from 4:00-6:00pm, we will have family night at the book fair.
