4th, 5th, and 6th grade planted a tree today to celebrate Arbor Day. Laurah Morton (Coach Parsons's mom) came out today with a beautiful Cedar Elm and all the needed supplies. She spoke to the students about the importance of trees and worked with students to plant the tree on our playground. Students participated in every aspect of planting. They helped prepare the ground, tree placement, filling the hole with rich soil, and finally, spreading mulch and watering.
Thank you so much to Laurah for coming out today and to our generous, anonymous donor who took care of all the needed materials!
Also, a special thank you to Daryl Atkins for helping us dig the hole this morning!!

This month in the library, elementary students learned about crystals and different types of rock formations! Our absolute favorite was the geode, so we took the time to grow salt crystals and crack a few quartz geodes ourselves!
Books we read include "Weird but True Rocks", "A Rainbow of Rocks", "A Rock Can Be...", and "If Rocks Could Sing".
Visit our Facebook page for MANY more photos.

How great are these pop bottle biographies!
Ms. Harris's third graders wrote four paragraphs after doing a lot of research on their chosen person - early life, adult life, education, accomplishments & achievements, and any other interesting facts or events. Then, they crafted their pop bottle to model that individual and presented to their class. Excellent work, third grade!
