Students tasted different kinds of apples, crafted delicious apple pie in a cup, and practiced fine motor skills by tearing paper to create adorable apple art. There was so much learning and laughter packed into one sweet celebration!

It's Homecoming week! Theme Day 2- Tacky Tourist and Day 3- Stripes/Polka Dots
It's homecoming week for the Wildcats! Theme 1- Wear your class colors.
This morning, Mrs. Thomas' first-grade students actively participated in an engaging activity involving a life-size number line. The students constructed the number line themselves and then utilized it to count backward in order to solve a subtraction equation.
Reminder: Homecoming week begins Tuesday!
Ms. Johnson's 4th grade and Ms. Weaver's 2nd grade classes were attendance winners for the week. Great job on having the highest attendance!
Mrs. Qualls' class is turning science into hands-on fun! Students participated in a Mystery Bag Lab. Students had to touch the items in the bags without peaking and wrote down properties to help describe the items. Students then made an educated guess on what they thought the item was based on their observations. Students loved the hands on exposure to deepen their knowledge about materials and their properties.

For Teddy Bear Day, Mrs. Lofton’s kindergarten class enjoyed a hands on math activity with teddy bear cookies! The students received a small set of teddy bear shaped cookies in a variety of “flavors”. Students practiced important early math skills by sorting cookies into groups by color or flavor, and then counting how many in each group. Students enjoyed Teddy Bear Day and the sweet treats during their math lesson.

Today Ms. Hare's class got a sweet lesson in math! Each student received a pack of gummy bears and got to sort, count, and graph their bears by color. 🌈📊

Ms. Hare was proud of how engaged her students were. Math really is more fun when it’s colorful and tasty! 💛❤️💚💜🧡
