Mrs. Millwood and Mrs. Peppers’ classes used the STEM lab today in order to further investigate how light and sound works. Students rotated through 5 centers (Monster Tag, Refraction Discovery, Material Sort, Laser Show, and Voice Memo Check). The students deepened their understanding of key vocabulary such as translucent, transparent, opaque, reflection, refraction, wavelength, and amplitude.

Students in Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Poole, and Mrs. Peppers’s classes have been learning about technical texts. Last week, the students wrote their own technical text on how to either make a PB&J (grilled or regular) or a grilled cheese. They then read their texts for the teachers to make their sandwiches. After they were made they then got to enjoy them. They had a blast applying what they learned with an every day task. Fourth grade students are currently studying light and sound in their Science classes. To further their investigative skills on these two topics, Mr. Fuller set up a “Light & Sound Lab” in the Media Center. Students were able to rotate from station to station to learn more about how light and sound is impacted by the pitch, amplitude, or even material it is traveling through. A huge thank you to Mr. Fuller for making this awesome lab possible!  5th Grade: Martin/Hart Saydee Romero (back) Blackmon/Loggins Molly Baker (back) Carnes Riddhi Patel (back) Beasley/Venable Benjamin Bates (back) Goodwin Ella Whitlock (back) Turk William Segars (front) Vandiver Mark Grier (front) McGowan Yatziri Cayetano-Basilio (front) Crenshaw Lena Parker (front)  4th Grade: Cornett Kade Schofield (back) Chitwood/Evans Nathan Terry (back) Gilreath/Askew Brennan Thomas (back) Spear Bonnie Dance (back) Millwood/Peppers Leo Pantoja (back) Purcell Cole Chitwood (front) Strickland Savannah Purcell (front) Book Addison Coleman (front) Williams Lane Montgomery (front)  3rd Grade:

Students added on new events/locations from the Westward Expansion Unit to their maps from the American Revolution Unit. Some of these events/locations included the California Gold Rush, the Trail of Tears, the Oregon Trail, the Erie Canal, Texas, the Great Plains, and the Continental Divide. The students then created boats, wagons, and even pots of gold to go on top of their Ozobot coding robots. The robots themselves then followed the paths marked on the map. Great job 4th graders!  3rd Grade Crabbe- Kimber Cummings Fuschetti- Katie Woffard Morris- Johnefe Flores Pruitt- Khloe Morris Howard- Kaden Purcell Rylee- Tyler Ford Elrod- Kinsley Crunkleton Milford- Sadie Wallace Ryals/Charles- Jazz Breedlove-Phillips  4th Grade Cornett- Payten Thomas Chitwood/Evans- Kadie Edwards Gilreath/Askew- Gracie Emerson Spear- Danny Perez Arteaga Millwood/Peppers- Elsie Evans Purcell- Abi Landers Strickland- Dalyce Parker Book- Myles Davis Williams- Brianna Sosebee  5th Grade
Martin/Hart- Marlii Daniels Blackmon/Loggins- Peyton Thomas Carnes- Amanda Ortiz Beasley/Venable- McKenzie McCall Goodwin- Kelsey Smith Turk- Madison Adams Vandiver- Taylor Savage McGowan- Peyton Gaylor Crenshaw- Lanie Tench Students completed some reading review activities to show they have learned a latte this first half of 3rd grade. With the help of our Digital Learning Specialist, Chris Fuller, 4th grade students created a town in Minecraft Education using our Geometry standards. They used their knowledge of geometric figures, types of lines, and types of angles to create their towns. |
