Our 5th-grade students had a blast learning about volcanoes through hands-on exploration! They designed and created their very own volcanoes, then watched science come to life as their creations erupted! We loved seeing curiosity, creativity, and learning come to life as the students learned about constructive and destructive forces.

Our 3rd graders put their math skills to work as they created Base Ten Robots! Using base-ten blocks, student practiced representing numbers while building their very own creative robot designs. It was a fun way to combine math, creativity, and hands-on learning - and these robots definitely proved that learning can be out of this world! Way to go, 3rd grade. Keep building, thinking, and creating.

Mamie Lou Gross will be having their picture day on August 31. Order forms will be sent home with the students today. All students will be photographed, even if they do not place an order for pictures.

Pop, pop, hooray! 🧼🫧
Mrs. Agee’s class had an absolute blast working on their fine motor skills today by filling the classroom with bubbles!
Learning and practicing important developmental skills like pincer grasps, hand-eye coordination, and breath control is so much fun when it looks like play. Check out these big smiles and even bigger bubbles!

We had a special guest at Mamie Lou Gross Elementary School today! Illusionist Chase Williams with Motivating Magic visited the students during their lunches. Motivating Magic is a program that partners with communities to help the
youth of today through captivating illusions and a motivational message. The students were excited to see his tricks and even got to help in creating some magic themselves!

Students in Mrs. Walker’s class had the opportunity to understand the question,
“Why do we even need to study language arts?”

Students learned that in today’s world, we are so used to relying on spell check to catch our mistakes that we have become very lazy with editing our written work. Students worked in groups to read actual newspaper headlines, figure out what the author intended the original message to be, and explain how the headline could be rewritten to show a better example of clear communication.

Some examples included “Sisters Reunited After 18 Years in Checkout Line at Supermarket” and “Panda Lectures This Week at National Zoo”. After realizing how silly the headlines sounded, students understood how crucial it is to choose words carefully.
