5th Graders are knocking out Measurement and Data with Punch!
Our students are studying Measurement and Data and are learning to convert from one unit of measurement to another. Students are working with both customary and metric units that measure liquid capacity, length/distance, and mass/weight. Today, all three groups got together for a whole group activity. They measured their ingredients by using cups, pints, quarts, liters, and gallons. Their end product was cup after cup of delicious and frothy punch!

🌞 Attention Parents and Students! 🌞
Exciting News! 🎉 On April 8, 2024, we have a remarkable astronomical event happening - a SOLAR ECLIPSE! 🌘✨
While this celestial spectacle is set to grace the skies during our out-of-school day, we encourage all our students and families to seize this opportunity to witness this rare occurrence safely.
Here are a few tips to make the most of this event:
1. Safety First: Remember to never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. Eclipse glasses are a must!
2. Get Prepared: Plan ahead! Gather your eclipse glasses, or make a pinhole projector to safely observe the eclipse.
3. Explore and Learn: Take this chance to delve into the science behind solar eclipses. It's a fantastic learning opportunity for curious minds!
4. Share the Experience: Whether it's with friends, family, or fellow enthusiasts, experiencing the eclipse together can make it even more memorable.
Although we won't be together in the classroom, we hope you all enjoy this awe-inspiring event and make unforgettable memories under the cosmic show. Remember to share your eclipse experiences with us when we return!
Happy Eclipse Watching! 🌒🔭 #SolarEclipse2024 #ScienceIsCool #SafetyFirst

Happy FRIDAY from the ChangeMakers!
As we head into the last school day of this week, it’s important to acknowledge how much STRONGER we are TOGETHER.
Today is #FabulousFRAMILY and #FriendshipFriday – we hope you’ll continue to make kindness CONTAGIOUS by being a friend or chosen family to someone who needs it.
It’s been wonderful to see the ripples of #KINDNESS at school and in our communities for the last few weeks. Our words and actions really do matter.

As #CHANGEMAKERS we are working hard to HELP HOPE LIVE and be Keepers of LIFE. Today is #ThoughtfulThursday & we'd like to remind you, the very best way to #BeKind is simply by Being A Good Human.
Each of us have the ability to control our response when others are unkind; when we react or response with THOUGHTFULNESS, that can change everything. Slow down today, take time to be thoughtful to those around you. A "PLEASE" & "THANK YOU" - even just a heartfelt SMILE - go a long way & there are many, many ways to be thoughtful to others. We never know all of what someone else is going through, so let your words and actions be mindful of that by being a good human to everyone you encounter. Happy Thursday! (We hope others are thoughtful of you & your needs today also.)

Today is #TogethernessTUESDAY for the High School and #TeamWorkTuesday for the Middle School. Every single one of us has the power to make someone’s day a little better and brighter.
When you’re kind to someone else, there’s actual science behind how it affects you internally as well as them. Imagine our schools and community - where kindness is 100% the norm - where no matter what happens anywhere else, you just know it’s going to be a great day simply because of the people in Calhoun County.
It takes ALL of us coming together - YOU AND I - looking out for one another to make that happen. That’s our challenge for YOU today… to be the kind of person who makes EVERYONE feel like someone special.
If you see someone struggling with something or being alone, even sharing a smile is #KINDNESS and can go a long way. Did you know that people who are kind and compassionate are usually the most successful individuals?
Remember – You Matter and I Matter.
Happy Tuesday to ALL of YOU from the ChangeMakers!
