Mrs. Umpleby’s 3rd-grade students had a blast using Play-Doh to explore fractions! They partitioned their Play-Doh into halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and eighths, ensuring each piece was equal. As they worked, they discovered an important fraction rule, the bigger the denominator, the smaller the pieces! Students also compared different fractions, deepening their understanding through hands-on learning.

Students in Mrs. Hanson's and Ms. Benefield's 5th-grade ELA classes brought creativity to life by designing costumes inspired by figurative language. Through this imaginative project, they took abstract concepts like similes, metaphors, and personification, and transformed them into visually stunning outfits. Each costume creatively represents a specific literary device—whether it's a "time flies" theme featuring clocks and wings or a "raining cats and dogs" design with playful animals. This project not only sparked their artistic talents but also deepened their understanding of literary concepts by allowing them to embody figurative language in a fun and tangible way.
Ms. Strickland's Kinders enjoyed a fun Valentine themed write the room activity practicing their handwriting and visual memory skills today. Students were given a paper with picture clues and had to search the hallways to find the matching words.

Students in Mrs. Taylor’s first grade class had the best time reviewing quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies through an exciting and competitive game of Kahoot! Next, they worked in collaborative pairs to play a game of “Money Bugs” where they compared coin values using the greater than, less than, and equal to signs.
Congratulations to our homeroom February PBIS Viking Students of the Month! Each student enjoyed a McDonald's lunch in the Media Center! Special thanks to Bemiss McDonalds, our CPIE partners, for providing this special treat for our students.
