(9/9) Mrs. Tutor's class has worked on setting goals for them to "be-leaf" in themselves to achieve.

(9/8) School Counselor Ms. Kinnard and her intern, Madison McGuirt, recently visited classrooms to teach a guidance lesson on "What is Anxiety?" Students learned how to recognize the signs of anxiety, and were introduced to simple, healthy strategies they can use to manage their feelings. These lessons are designed to support students’ emotional well-being, and to provide them with tools they can use both in and out of the classroom.

(9/5) Mrs. McNeal's class studied different types of clouds today. To enhance their lesson, they made the different types with cotton balls.

(9/5) Mrs. Heatherly's students had the best time today learning to make salad dressing with Chef Wyatt in the Discovery Kitchen!!

(9/5) This week, Mrs. Hodum's class studied ocean pollution in science. They read the book, "All the Way to the Ocean" about how even the smallest amounts of trash from far distances can make it to the ocean and harm ocean creatures. They learned that everyone needs to do their part to keep Earth (and oceans) clean. Today, they picked up trash around the playground. They also made sure to tell Mr. Marcus thank you for all he does around the school to help keep it clean!

(9/5) Mrs. Brown’s 3rd grade music classes have enjoyed studying about volume levels (dynamics). Students paired in groups to brainstorm, sketch and label items in various locations that were either forte (loud) or piano (soft).
