Mrs. Morphew's class was exploring subtraction by playing tic tac toe. Students teamed up in pairs to engage in the game, where they took turns solving subtraction problems and verifying their answers. If they got it right, they could place their mark on the tic tac toe board; if not, it was their partner's turn to try.

After engaging with the text, “The Man in the Red Bandana”, a selection of Mrs. Pritchett’s literacy students presented the letters they wrote to Welles, a hero of the September 11 attacks,






Emma Coulter provided yellow ribbons for Mrs. Ferguson’s class to wear in honor of the events of September 11, 2001.



Mrs. Carver's third-grade class engaged with the book "The Man in the Red Bandana," which tells the story of Welles Crowther, a volunteer firefighter who tragically lost his life while rescuing and leading others to safety during the events of September 11, 2001. This poignant narrative was authored by his mother and illustrated by his father. In remembrance, the students created "Remembrance Ribbons" and discussed the reasons for their pride in being American. Additionally, they displayed a red bandana on their classroom flag to honor the memory of all the individuals who perished on that fateful day.
