ALL IN FOR AG EDUCATION WEEK: A WEEK FULL OF LEARNING Students in Miss Carroll's class had a week full of agricultural learning adventures! The class listened to a read-aloud about farm animals, and they created their own farm animals from cardboard. Students also learned about strawberries and pumpkins and how they are grown. They even had some special visitors! It was a great week of learning for our students!

MUSKETEER OF THE WEEK

Mr. Trenton Fyffe shares that Alonna is always asking how she can help in the classroom. He also notes that she always volunteers if something is needed. She is always looking-out for and helping her friends. Her positivity is infectious!

We are so proud of this Musketeer!

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION STUDENT OF THE WEEK

Mr. Scott Bowling shares that, recently, Zander has worked to paint various locations on the school's campus. In addition, he has also helped to lead a group of students who planted one dozen Red Bud trees across the school's exterior property.

Way to be a leader, Zander!

ALL IN FOR AG EDUCATION WEEK: WHAT'S THE VOLUME? Students in the fifth-grade class of Mrs. Robinson made last week's learning a hands-on experience. Students created a variety of farm animals from cardboard. Then, they calculated the volume of each of their animals. This was certainly a great project for all students who participated!

ALL IN FOR AG EDUCATION WEEK: A LITTLE BIT OF DRAMA ON THE FARM

During "All In For Ag Education Week," students in Mrs. Fraley's theatre classes participated in regional and agricultural theatre centers. For Reader's Theatre, they studied the script for "Leaving The Farm, " auditioned for their chosen characters, and made character puppets to perform farm animal puppet shows. They learned about life in the past throughout our region and discussed how set designers build models to represent future backdrops. They structured their own set designs, modeling log cabins out of popsicle sticks. 

Great work, students! This looks like such a fun learning adventure!

ALL IN FOR AG EDUCATION WEEK: THE CASE OF FARMER JOE Last week, Mrs. Shannon's Introduction to Forensics class focused on solving the murder case of Farmer Joe. Students had to work with members of their respective departments to review the evidence, latch onto clues, and name suspects. We're certain they cracked the case! Great work, students!

ALL IN FOR AG EDUCATION WEEK: SECOND-GRADE CENTERS Students in the second-grade classes of Ms. Ashley and Mrs. Loos worked through multiple centers on Friday. They had special help from their middle school friends - students who stepped in to lead the centers. The centers focused on the following topics: addition and subtraction problems with eggs, classification of foods into fruits and vegetables, taste-testing of various unusual fruits and vegetables, and the making of butter in a jar. These activities certainly look like they were filled with fun and smiles!

ALL IN FOR AG EDUCATION WEEK: CORN HUSK DOLLS Throughout the coming days, we'll be sharing our students' amazing learning experiences from last week! Students in the social studies classes of Mrs. Hayes had such a fun and meaningful day learning about Native American life before colonization. In honor of All in for Ag Education Week, students explored the “Three Sisters” – corn, beans, and squash – with a special focus on the importance of corn. After reading and discussing its role in Native cultures, students brought history to life by creating their own corn husk dolls (using tissue paper) and learning the stories and traditions behind them. 🌽

NEW YORK, NEW YEAR, NEW LEARNING This year, seventh-grade bellwork is much more fun thanks to the New York Times Game Center. After reviewing grammar in mini-lessons, classes work to solve word puzzles, including Wordle, Strands (spanagram), Connections, and Spelling Bee.
