Mrs. Whitmore’s 4th graders turned into full-fledged math detectives today! To review for their big math test, students took on the role of private math investigators solving "Mystery Detective: Gift for the Teacher". Here’s how our student sleuths worked to crack the case: Cracking the Math Codes: Solving multi-digit multiplication problems to gather evidence. Using Detective Strategies: Drawing area models and partial products on scratch paper to double-check their work. Eliminating Suspects: Using their math answers as clues to eliminate options for Who From, When, Ribbon Color, and What gift was left for the teacher! These 4th grade math detectives are 100% prepared to solve any problem that comes their way on their test!

Reminder to join us as we honor and celebrate our local heroes with a special Veterans Day Parade!

📅 Date: November 11th
⏰ Time: 9:30 AM
📍 Location: Cafeteria Driveway

How to Participate:

🚗 For Drivers & Veterans: Bring your decorated vehicle and drive your Veteran through the cafeteria drive while our students wave flags and cheer! Please note that Veterans are encouraged to remain in their cars as they pass through the parade line.

For Parents: Parents are welcome to join the crowd along the route to cheer on our Veterans and celebrate with us!

🔔 Schedule Note: This will be a fairly quick celebration, and students will return to their regular class schedules immediately after the last parade car exits the cafeteria driveway.

Let’s show our Veterans how much we appreciate their service and dedication! ❤️🤍💙

Pre-K is where learning comes to life! 🚀 Mrs. Mitchell & Ms. Bunk’s class had an action-packed week: --Discovered parts of a pumpkin and tested if they float! 🎃 --Explored sensory fun (cold, slimy, & smelly seeds!) 🌱 --Counted all the way up to 149 pumpkin seeds! 🔢 --Journeyed all the way into outer space! 🌌 --Voted for their favorite cookie. 🗳️ Who knew science, math, and social studies could be this much fun? ❤️ #PreKLife #HandsOnLearning #jergerPrek #jergerfamily

🍭Shapes are officially delicious! 🍩🍪 Mrs. Eidson and Ms. Swicord’s kindergarten class wrapped up their shapes unit last week with the best kind of math: edible math! From square and rectangular crackers, to round cookies and pepperoni slices, to cubed cheese, these little learners ate their way to a full understanding of 2D shapes. Learning is so much fun when you can taste it! 🥨✨ #KindergartenMath #ShapeUnit

Spooktacular news from Mrs. Strickland’s classroom! 👻🕷️ Her students jumped headfirst into Fall learning this week! After reading, The Spider That Saved Halloween, our young scientists put their STEM skills to the test by creating their very own jumping spiders! The fun didn't stop there, students also got creative with ghost paintings using a straw and learned how force works by making ghosts "fly" using magnets! Learning is extra wonderful when it's this hands-on! 🎃🕸️✨

🍭Quotation marks or spooky treats? Why not both!📝 Ms. Kornegay’s 4th graders are using candy corn to master dialogue punctuation! Adding a little hands-on sweetness makes learning grammar rules so much fun. Look at those precise quotation marks!

Fly Pink for Hope! 💖✨ Today we wore PINK to stand strong in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month--honoring survivors, supporting those in the fight, and remembering loved ones. 💕 It was also Day 4 of Red Ribbon Week! 🎗️ Today was all about making healthy choices, supporting one another, and committing to a drug-free life. We threw on our favorite pink outfits, rocked red ribbon week, and showed our strength and supported together! 💗🔴

Thank you to the Thomasville Police Department for providing the bags your child is bringing home today/tomorrow to use over the next few days as they participate in community Fall festival/Halloween events. 💙 Please be aware that the glow in the dark slap bracelets do include a small removable button battery. In an effort to keep all family members safe, store these in an area away from younger siblings/family members until your child is ready to glow! 🎃
