Thank you to the parent volunteers who came and helped with the 3D maps!  The students loved creating thier masterpiece to showcase the regions and landforms of Georgia.  When they dry, we will paint them.

Students heard the heroic story of John J. Harvey, a retired Fireboat in New York City.  Then they traced their hand to decorate and show the heroes in their lives.

We are continuing our studies of landforms and regions of Georgia.  Students read Ranger Logs and weather reports to guess which of the 5 regions the ranger was in.  They had fun finding the clues to prove their answer and then share their knowledge with the class. 

Students put together a challenging Georgia Regions puzzle and planted the Hydroponic Garden Tower!

August

We had a volunteer come in to play math games with the students!  They all loved trying to win against Mr. Frank!  They also worked on their journal cover; something to do with lemons like the school theme this year.This week's coding was using what we learned about landforms!  Students coded the Ozobot to climb the profile of their mountain, plateau, rolling hills, plains, or ridge and valleys.

August

Students started learning some basic code for the Ozobots!  Ozobots can be coded in a variety of ways, but we start with color coding. They have also tried some different manipulatives.

August

Students enjoyed their first Monday Manipulatives day!  They completed puzzles that require logical thinking, concentration, and perseverance.  They also practice some map skills by using cardinal and intermediate directions to get their critter to the treasure.

First Week of Gifted

Students started their very first Gifted unit of study all about maps.  They started looking at different types of maps and noticing what they can see and tell on each type of map; physical, economical, resource, political, and historical.
