Students participate in all kinds of activities in the Gifted Class. They may make sculptures of masks used to tell about themselves or they may sew a "personal" quilt square together. (Please Note: There is a teacher at the sewing machine with the students as they sew....controlling the WHOLE experience!)

Fun Times in School

Logging in the laps walked on the new Walking Track!

Thanks to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation our school has a Walking Track. Our project is called "Keyed-Up Bears" which is an acronym for Keeping Exercise Your Every Day Unique Personal goal, Because Exercise Achieves Radiant Students,Staff, and Stakeholders! We are in the beginning stages of keeping track of all who walk and some wonderful incentives are being planned to motivate the students. The goal is to promote healthy lifestyles.

Students work hard to document the number of

laps walked on the Walking Track. CONGRATS to

all Montessori Classes for being so consistent in your daily walking.

Some Precious REASONS Mrs. Land does Early Morning Duty!!

Our students come in big and small,

And this teacher loves them all,

Early, each day, I stand in the hall,

To get hugs and High FIVES,

Both Big and SMALL!!!

"I won!" "It was a draw." "I Lost!" It just did not matter as fun was had by all!

Wonderful parents supported us during this event.

Trips for Pizza to nourish us, kind words to comfort us.

Were we the winning school? Well, this teacher says that

it all depends on your definition of winning.

Did you show respect in all that you did,

follow the rules, help another kid?

Were you a good sport and shake hands and smile?

Did you let disappointment cloud your day?

What else can this proud teacher say,

"Yes, my students,you were champs,

winners all the way!!!"

I cannot wait to hear what the Principal will say.

I am so proud of you I cannot HUSH;

but truly, dear students,

I will stop this MUSH!!

CHESS TOURNAMENT!!!

The time for the Chess Tournament drew near
and the students practiced at every opportunity.
Students who attended the Chess Tournament were
Se'Lah, Cameron, Bradley, Dekiya, Veronica, and
Jaylon. It was wonderful having Mr. "D" as a Chess coach.

"I wonder when we will get this show on the road!"

MORE CHESS PRACTICE!!
