We are excited about our upcoming Fall Carnival to be held on Thursday, October 16! In order to help this event be a huge success, we are looking for some donations of candy and cakes. The cakes/snack cakes will be used for our cake walk. We could not do these events without your support. Thank you!!

Our fall picture day is October 1!! We can't wait to see your child's smiling face :)

We have extended our deadline for the Krispy Kreme Doughnut orders. If you were not able to turn in your order forms and money today, we will be accepting them through tomorrow 9/17.

4th graders enjoyed reading during "Flashlight Friday". Students grabbed their favorite book, read by flashlight, and took some AR tests! Reading by flashlight was a fun way to promote a love of reading! 

Friday, September 19, is National Talk Like a Pirate Day! Please join us by dressing up as pirates at school for a fun day of learning and special activities!

Don't forget to turn in your Krispy Kreme Doughnut money and order forms by tomorrow, 9/16.

Learning to read and spell can be fun! In Mrs. Keel's second-grade class, students showed off their blending skills. Way to go, kids!

Scientists in Mrs. Stack’s 3rd-grade class explored the three types of soil (sand, clay, and loam) and recorded their observations of texture and color. They also formed hypotheses of which type of soil would retain the most water and which type of soil would retain the least water.

Following the hypotheses, an experiment was conducted where the same amount of water was poured into each type of soil. Students measured the amount of water that drained out, then subtracted that from the total amount of water poured in, which resulted in the amount of water that each type of soil retained. WHY these soils did or did not retain the amount of water they did…the answers…well, those are in the particles!

Our second-grade students had the opportunity to explore the five regions of Georgia without leaving the classroom! They went on a virtual field trip where they learned about the Appalachian Plateau, Valley and Ridge, Blue Ridge, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain regions. Animals and plants found in each region were discussed, and students were eager to share what they had learned.

Don't forget all order forms and money for the Krispy Kreme Doughnut Fundraiser are due on Tuesday, September 16th.

Yearbook order forms will be distributed to all students this week. You can order online or by completing the order form. Orders placed through 11/30 will be $30 per yearbook. Beginning 12/1, prices will increase to $40 per book. Additionally, parents of 5th-grade students may purchase an ad for their child for $25 (this must be done online - separate fliers will be sent home regarding ads)
If you have any questions, please get in touch with nmowbray@camden.k12.ga.us

We are so excited to announce that we will be hosting our Fall Carnival on Thursday, October 16th from 5:00pm-6:30pm.
This will be a free event for all of our families and students to attend. We will have games, bounce houses, food trucks and more! We will also have some items that you can win by purchasing raffle tickets!

We are also asking for some donations for our cake walk. Any help is truly appreciated!

Proud to be MLG!

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!

Check out what is happening at MLG for the month of September.
