Inside the Classroom

3rdGrade

This fall, third grade visited Cedar Hill Farm in Hernando, MS as a culmination of our study on plant life cycles We learned that plants can grow from seeds and about the process from germination to fruit. At the farm, we rode a hayride, completed a corn maze full of interesting facts, and then students were able to pick their own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch Everyone had a great time!

4th Grade

Every November, fourth grade has a “Community Service Day.” A few weeks leading up to this day, the students send in non-perishable items to donate to a local food pantry Our students take great pride in this and are always very generous in their donations We also take a couple of days to create cards of encouragement for our local police and firemen. Once our “Community Service Day” finally arrives, we deliver our items to the food pantry, help organize our donations, break down boxes, and help wherever we are needed We also stop by the police and fire stations to not only deliver our cards, but to also pray over them for safety Our hope is to make our community service workers feel appreciated and valued. Our students get a hands on experience of what community service is and how it makes them feel

5th Grade

Our fifth-grade students had a “blast” using the engineering design process to create a balloon float for our robots The students had to design their float and then create it using the given supplies Once their float was created, they then had to use the computers to code the path for the robot to take Through this fun hands-on activity, the students are learning how scientists test, improve, and retest their designs and ideas as well as communicate with others to solve a problem.
