Thank you to our students, families, and staff for supporting the LUES Book Fair last week. We enjoyed closing out the event with our students in their Halloween costumes and celebrating a love of reading together.
We appreciate your continued support of literacy in our schools!
Our 2nd graders at LES recently enjoyed a hands-on learning experience while studying the story of Johnny Appleseed. Students read and answered comprehension questions using informational text, created Apple Pie in a Cup, sequenced the steps of the recipe, and even graphed results from an apple taste test.
ELA Writing PLC in Action
Our 7th–10th grade ELA teachers gathered for a Professional Learning Community (PLC) focused on writing. Eighth-grade teacher Annie Thomas and 9th-grade teacher Alyssa Codling shared insights and strategies from the recent Writing Symposium at the University of Mississippi, bringing new ideas back to strengthen student learning in the classroom.
Last Friday, Mrs. Polston’s Kindergarten class wrapped up a week of hard work with a festive Fun Friday! After reading "The Biggest Pumpkin Ever," students painted their own Jack-o'-Lanterns and enjoyed a special visit from guest readers with the Mortar Board at Ole Miss.
