Students in Mrs. Lord's room built nests using all different kinds of materials - but the trick was no glue or sticky materials! In the novel they are reading, The Magic Finger, the main family gets turned into ducks to be a taught a lesson and have to learn how to survive (they’ve been hunting ducks the whole book). On Wednesday, Mrs. Lord's class had the productive struggle of turning into the Gregg Family and experienced what they went through - except students got to use their hands. Now they’ll take it home and are going to see if any real birds try to live in it! Great job 4th grade students! Due to storm damage earlier this morning, there are several road closures that will prevent buses from passing through. Most parents have been notified by school officials regarding changes and to make arrangements for drop off and pick up. If your child rides bus 16-43, the mouse bus driven by Angela Lynn, and you live on Emory Chambers Road, Ed Reed Road, Link Road, Rock Springs Road or if you live on Yonah Homer Road north of Silver Shoals Road, you will need to meet the bus at Catfish Corner this afternoon at 3:45 and tomorrow morning at 6:45. If you have any questions, call Mike Cleveland (706)206-8249. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your help and understanding.
