Our Brain

We are having a wonderful time studying our brain. Did you know we have billions of brain cells? Keeping our brain healthy is essential to our lives. What can we do to ensure healthy brains? Let me hear from you!

SUMMERTIME!

I hope you all had an exciting summer! You should remember that writing about your summer is something teachers often ask you to do at the beginning of the school year. So, instead of writing on paper, add to our blog. Tell us about it!

Saturday Field Trip

The Kids went on a trip to the Birmingham Zoo. They had an opportunity to explore exhibits and learn new things. A lot of kids enjoyed the bird house.The rest of the exhibits were fascinating and exciting. They wish to go again soon.

The Thursday Sixth Grade group entered the state-wide competition of Alabama History Day at Auburn University at Montgomery. One group wrote and presented a historical performance about Tent City in Lowndes County, 1965-66. Another group designed and created an exhibit board focusing on the Lowndes County Freedom Organization. And, the exhibit board group won!
