All About Giraffes
(8/25) 3rd grade UFO students presented their knowledge of giraffes through skits, informative posters, and brochures. They also had a little fun in centers this week! Students were challenged to design and build a giraffe habitat from legos making sure to include food, water, a predator, and a giraffe! Students were asked to accurately represent a giraffe's natural habitat. Students also were asked to sculpt a giraffe out of aluminum foil! Their giraffe had to stand and could not be more than six inches in height. Other activities included a giraffe art piece using oil pastels, a cinquain written with giraffes as the subject, and a class mural that will be displayed around the school! That's STEAM!!

Giraffe Research
(8/24) Fourth grade gifted students are currently learning all about giraffes! Students worked together in groups in order to research to learn more about giraffes. Then the groups came up with a creative way to share what they learned with their peers. Some wrote scripts and acted out the information! Some worked together to create a slideshow with information. Some decided making a life size, 19 foot giraffe would be the best way to share what they learned! Either way, there was a lot of creativity on display!

Roses get Pruned by Ag Students
(8/25): AGRICULTURE: EPISODE 2: OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! Mrs. Whitworth and Ms. Swain's AG classes de-headed the Knockout roses in front of the 5th and 6th grade building last week.

They were planted by 6th grade Ag 3 years ago after Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Whitworth's AG classes gutted the flower bed. The students replanted the Butterfly Bushes, Gardenia Bushes, and the Japanese Maple tree from this flower bed in other places around the 5th and 6th grade campus. They are all still thriving!
