Christmas!

This year we decided to celebrate an "old fashioned" Christmas. Students interviewed relatives about how Christmas was celebrated many years ago. Mrs. Billie Seales from the Walker County Arts Alliance came and spoke to our students about Christmas when she was a little girl and entertained us with some stories. We had fresh cut cedar trees that we decorated with handmade ornaments, silver icicles, popcorn that we strung, and paper chains. We made cards and went caroling at a local assisted living home. Mrs. Drummond's grandfather came and told us how he celebrated Christmas as a young boy. Then he, his wife, and Mrs. Drummond's mother helped us decorate gingerbread houses. We had such a fun time!

Book Fair

We always love when it's Book Fair time! It's always tough deciding on that perfect book.

Needle Ice Part 2

Here are some pictures of the needle ice we found growing in our school garden.

Needle Ice

Not much is growing in the garden these days except a few carrots and some needle ice.  We researched and found out that this phenomenon occurs when air temperatures are below freezing and ground temperatures are not.  As water tries to evaporate, it quickly freezes.
