Hello, April!

Career Day will be held on Friday April 4. Do you know what you want to be? Come dressed in  your "dressed for success" outfit as if you are going for an interview in your career! Our presenters should see you as a person who is seriously interested in their occupations.

 

April 7-11 is Spring Break. Teachers, students, and all staff will be off during this time. Do have a wonderful break! We'll be looking forward to seeing you back in school Monday, April 14!

 

 The Criterion Referenced Competency Test will be held from Wednesday, April 16 to Tuesday, April 22. 

  • Get a good night's sleep each night.

  • Be sure to be at school on time every day.

  • Have a good breakfast either at home or at school.

  • Remember to narrow down your answers to the best possible answer.

  • Do your absolute best on each question of the test!

You have been listening in class and doing your homework so we know you'll do well!

 

 

  March is gone! For Multicultural Month each class/grade level picked a country to research. They presented a short report on their findings during morning announcements.

This was also the major month for preparing for the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test in April. We have sharpened our skills with special activities all month. There was  a CRCT Parent Institute Thursday, March 7 in the Cafeteria at 6:30. Refreshments were served. Did you attend?

 

February was a busy month! Feb. 1st was a celebration of dads. Many dads came to Reese Road Friday morning for a special treat. We were learning about famous people for Black History Month. See our special visitors ...cellist, a cappella chorus from Carver High School and more!

 

Monday, February 4, Mrs. Scott's class was featured on the morning announcements with quotes from famous people. They read biographies about their person and did research to learn all they could about them. Then they came dressed in clothes they might have worn. To see pictures:

 

February 11-15 was "Bring your Family to School week." The Family Night presentation Tuesday at 6:00 was presented by Mrs. Weeks, School Counselor, and Mrs. Ogletree, Pre-Kindergarten Coordinator. Miss Jennifer and Miss Kathy from Barnes and Noble shared stories in the media center with the children while Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Ogletree conducted a workshop with the parents in the cafeteria. Awesome!

 

  

Thursday, the 14th, the PTA was awarded a check for their successful grant application to the National PTA for Bring Your Family to School Week.  The PTA National President Jan Harp Domene and Georgia State PTA Past-President and National Board Member Laura Dobbs joined Georgia State and Muscogee County PTA dignitaries to recognize our hardworking PTA! To see pictures:

 

Our PTA is to be congratulated for the fine work they do for all of us! We send our heartfelt thanks to them and to all the parents who came to school for lunch on Valentine's Day/Special Kid Day and/or encouraged their children with Special Kid Letters!
Guest Musician Eric Litwin played guitar and banjo and sang with all grades. He shared different kinds of music - folk songs, blues, and much more!
 

The Geography Bee January 31 was won by Aaliyah Smith. We hope to have the pictures posted here by next week of all the contestants and the judges and moderator.

Learn about habitats in Georgia. The University of Georgia Garden Club has gathered this information about different habitats in Georgia.

    The Little White House in Warm Springs  was built in 1932 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt before he was elected President. He was paralyzed by polio and found that the warm spring water improved the condition of his legs.  Did you see the 1938 Ford convertible he used to drive? Did you feel the weight of his braces in the museum? Did you see Fala's scratch marks on the front door? To learn more click on this active link.
   

Math Masters

Math Masters has been continued this year! As you master your addition facts with our Renaissance software Math Facts in a Flash, you earn a cap.  Many more math masters will earn their caps and their pins for subtraction, multiplication and division mastery. These are presented by Mrs. Pendleton during the morning announcements on Mondays through our closed circuit television system. We thank our Partners in Education for their support of our educational program. Math Facts in a Flash home practice diskettes may be checked out from the media center.
