📊 Ms. Stephens’s 2nd graders had a fun time learning about graphs and participating in fun graphing activities! 📈

💥 Fun Friday was extra fizzy today with Ms. Davis’ second grade class—they experimented with mentos and Coke, and by the looks of the kids’ faces you can tell they loved it!
📕 🔦 Miss Denton’s kindergarteners had a fun day (and week!)as well! Library books, flashlight Friday, and painting their “Full Belly Bowls!”

‼️ Parents: take advantage of this great opportunity!

Ms. Colquitt’s 5th grade class made paste paper timelines for IRA after reading “Keep On! The Story Of Matthew Henson: Co-discoverer of the North Pole.” How fun!

🎉 ❤️ PARENTS (and other family members)—Please consider joining our PTA this year; there are great opportunities to serve and be involved in our school community!

🎶 Students in 1st-3rd grade are focusing on “beat” and rhythm” in Mrs. Pettit’s music class: singing rhythms, playing rhythms with instruments, and even creating and then performing their own rhythms, just like a composer! 🎶

Mrs. Best’s class did a great job working in small groups on different passages, using their checklist to determine if the passages were a personal narrative or not! 🔎 ✍️
