Mrs. Green's 3rd grade Discovery students took inspiration from Norwegian artist Edvard Munch this week! After studying his life and iconic painting “The Scream,” students tapped into their creativity with a spooky writing activity and wrote sensory poems that captured the emotion and atmosphere of Munch’s masterpiece.
Thank you to our fabulous friends from the Pickens High School Cheerleading team for brightening our morning with their smiles and spirit! We love seeing you at morning car riders. Go Dragons!
Red Ribbon Week is October 27th- 31st!
We will be practicing Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind during Red Ribbon Week. Our theme is Life is a Puzzle, Solve it Drug Free. We have been talking about the "end in mind" is their future, and the puzzle pieces of life are the choices we make every day. Life is a puzzle, and every piece counts. Drugs are a puzzle piece that just doesn't fit in the plan of a happy, healthy future. Making healthy, safe choices and solving the puzzle of life drug-free, helps us stay strong, focused, and build an exciting future one piece at a time.
Pink Out in Mrs. Connelly’s 4th grade class! How fun!
Students in Mrs. Moss’s 4th Grade Math Class have been learning about Multiplicative Comparisons. (And they’ve been practicing saying it 3 times fast!)
Multiplicative Comparison is a way of comparing two quantities by determining how many times larger or smaller one is than the other, using multiplication or division. Today was filled with lots of laughter, math talk, and fun while playing the game Wacky Comparisons.
