Our first graders are working hard to apply their newly learned phonics skills! First, they have to practice how to keep their place when reading. What can make this tracking more fun? Alien fingers, of course! Let's just say our tracking skills are "out of this world!"

This week in STEM class, students had a blast bringing science to life by creating their own volcanoes using baking soda and vinegar. They explored how real volcanoes work while learning about chemical reactions between different ingredients. It was a fun, hands-on way to mix creativity with science and discover the excitement of experiments in action!

Our 3rd-grade students worked on our standards under 3.NR.1, focusing on place value. We ended our unit by making Place Value Robots. Students counted the number of Base Ten Blocks used to make their robot. They then compared their robot's value to their classmates'. Students enjoyed using math creativity today in class.

Fifth-grade students worked with Mrs. Brazell on a "Creeping Crust" activity to learn Earth Science standard S5E1. They were studying how volcanoes and earthquakes can be constructive or destructive, depending on the different movements of the plates. This activity allowed the students to use their skills of observation to determine which plate boundary was more likely to create a volcano. By putting their background knowledge to work, they were able to find success in this fun, hands-on activity.

Mrs. Walker's fifth graders had an intense and engaging review of sentence structure. They played a Jenga game with a twist: after completing a worksheet on complete sentences, students spun a color wheel to see which piece they had to pull from the tower. The suspense built with each turn until the tower came crashing down! This was a fun and interactive way to make a traditional review feel like a game.

Safety Reminder!
School safety remains our highest priority. Families, we need your partnership in reminding and educating your children about the seriousness of making threats. What may seem like an innocent prank, or simply something said out of anger or frustration, can carry very serious consequences. Every threat, whether real or fake, demands an immediate law enforcement response, disrupts learning, and can result in life-changing legal prosecution.
We take EVERY threat seriously and will continue working closely with the St. Marys Police Department, Kingsland Police Department, and the Camden County Sheriff’s Office to ensure swift and decisive responses to all threats.
The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Protecting with Purpose,
Chief Kizzi Knight
