March 17th – 28th we are teaming up with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for “Pennies For Patients” to help raise funds for life-saving cancer research. We have been given a class donation box for any spare change that students collect during this 2 week period. Our school is sponsoring Lexi a second grader who attends Sharon Elementary School in Loganville, GA.

Please watch the video below for more information.  You can even donate online!!

After learning about and memorizing the Preamble to the Constitution Gabe decided to create is own adaptation!  Great job Gabe!

You can check out more of Gabe's blogs here.

Our students are learning about ecosystems, habitats, composers, predators, etc. in science class right now!  Currently Berry College has a live Eagle Cam where they are observing a mother eagle and her eggs.  Their observations will be posted daily on their blogs.  Check out the webcam and the students blogs.  Feel free to leave comments!

We have been writing and working hard on improving our writing all year long.  And now it's time to show off our writing abilities!  It is time for Young Georgia Authors!  Submissions must be turned in by February 10th.  All writing submitted are original writings that the student did not receive any help on.  Check out Bryce turning in his first writing!

Can you believe we are half way through the year?!  It's been a great start and now we are in the home stretch to finish off the year strong.

Because we are now at this point of the year it's time for conference.  This time we will be having student-led conferences, and we will be attempting something a little different this year.  I am inviting you to take part in our class with your child. 

You can click the link below to go ahead and sign up!  I look forward to seeing you all in class!

Happy New Year! With a new year you will find a slightly new look on our website.  You will still find everything you need on the home page, and all of the other pages are still the same.

With a new year I have a question for you...What is you New Year's Word? Resolutions are usually given during this time of year, but I want you to shift your thinking.  I would like for you to think of a word you want to focus on this year.  Maybe it's "learn" because you want to learn a lot of new things this year.  Or maybe your word the year is "fast" because you want to run faster or be faster with your math facts.

Think about this over the next few days think about what your "Word for 2014" will be.  Once you have it create a blog post to tell us your word and why you chose that word.  What are your goals for the year and how will this word define your year?
