📅 BE PREPARED AND PLAN AHEAD: We know it feels too early to think about next school year, but the calendar will have a few changes our families are not used to. Please make sure you mark your calendar now so you're prepared! Keep in mind, we start school on August 3, 2026. We will be having two full breaks (in October and February) as well as 2 hour early releases at the end of each month.

We hope you're enjoying your spring break, Warrior Families! See you on Monday!

Teamwork makes the dream work, y’all! Ms. Patterson is helping her students learn this tried-and-true life lesson in her Intermediate 101 class.

She shares: “In our sixth grade classes this week, we are focusing on teamwork. We are exploring the three C’s of teamwork: communication, collaboration, and coordination. In this challenge, teams worked together to build the tallest tower possible using index cards. Each person was only allowed to use one hand, so teams had to rely on the three C’s to overcome the limitations placed on them.”

Thank you for sharing, Ms. Patterson!

Another day, another time the social media team wishes they were in Ms. Kiel's 6th Grade science classes!

She writes: "Last week in science, our class took learning to a whole new level—literally! As we wrapped up our unit on plate tectonics and plate boundaries, students got hands-on by using graham crackers, rice cakes, and frosting to model the different types of plate movements. From convergent to divergent to transform boundaries, they built (and tasted!) their way through the lesson. It was a fun, creative, and delicious way to bring science to life. Safe to say… my class absolutely ROCKS! 🌎✨"

They sure do. And you do, too, Ms. Kiel!! 💙💛

Happy Tuesday Warriors! Ms. Tomy’s 5th grade ELA second block engaged in an enriching experience by rewriting The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart from the perspective of Reuben, the protagonist. This group activity allowed students to apply what they have learned in a creative and meaningful way and included GT differentiation to extend learning for advanced students. Such tasks are essential for developing a deeper understanding of the concepts they have been exploring. Following the writing activity, students evaluated the work of other groups, fostering critical thinking and collaborative learning.

Great work to Ms. Tomy and her 5th Graders! Have a great rest of your night, Warrior Families. 💙💛

We want to send a HUGE Congratulations to the Odyssey of the Mind team who captured first place in South Carolina in their division! They did a great job. Many don't realize that because of the rules, team members are required to creat everything themselves - including writing the script, creating their set, and making all their costumes. What an incredible feat, Warriors, its' truly an awesome accomplishment!

Help us celebrate the following members of the team:

Last week Ms. Anderson brought a very popular book to life for her student's math lesson!

She writes: "On Friday we played 'The Hunger Games' in math class as a way to learn about probability and see who had the odds in their favor.

Each student drew a 'district' and we discussed the probability of being chosen to participate in the games based on their gender and the number of people in each district.

Students were able to compare their odds to students from other districts. This helped students understand that as the total number of outcomes increases, your chances (of being chosen) decrease. "

Great lesson, Ms. Anderson! Thank you for sharing!

Ms. White's 5th Grade ELA class has finished reading an incredible novel called "Number The Stars" by Lois Lowry. It was written in 1989 and is about the escape of a family of Jews from Copenhagen, Denmark during World War II.

She writes: "We are wrapping up our Number the Stars novel study by creating a one pager about the novel. Students have been hard at work this week using the text, their knowledge from our lessons and discussions, and their creativity to complete this task. They have been so engaged throughout this unit of study and I'm so proud of them!! "

These one pagers are spectacular! Thank you for sharing Ms. White, and fantastic job Warriors!
