Friday, our amazing SRO, Deputy Bair, was helping a student deliver papers to Ms. Swopes’ second-grade class when we had a surprise for her — the HOT SEAT! We invited her to play one of our new favorite games, which we enjoy during Morning Meeting on Fridays.
Deputy Bair had to sit in the chair (no peeking at the board behind her) and call on students to give her clues about the mystery picture. The room was full of giggles, and so many creative hints from our second graders! Deputy Bair was such a good sport, and we loved seeing her join in on our fun!

Ms. Benefield's ELA classes have just wrapped up Unit 1 in Benchmark Advance, where they explored the fascinating world of corn cultivation and production in the U.S.
To showcase their learning, each student researched, wrote, and published an expository piece about corn production across the country. Then, taking their projects to the next level, students created AI characters using Adobe Express and recorded themselves reading their published writing to practice fluency and expression. To celebrate their hard work, students enjoyed a tasty snack of candy corn and popcorn while they watched and listened to each other’s recordings.

Mrs. Lopez's 5th graders just wrapped up a 3C's (Curate, Create, Collaborate) lesson, and they did an amazing job! 💪

To wrap up, they collaborated with classmates by watching each other’s videos, leaving thoughtful and constructive feedback, all while enjoying some delicious popcorn! 🍿
We’re so proud of their hard work, creativity, and communication skills. 🌟
