📚 Tigers Get Creative: Students Bring Personal Stories to Life Through Text Features! 🐯 Students in Mrs. Cason's Tiger Time have been learning about Text Features and working on an "All About Me" project ✏️ that showcases multiple types of text features that help their reader quickly and easily find facts about them through features such as timelines, glossaries, table of contents, etc. 📖 These students have worked diligently to ensure their projects told a complete story of who they were as well as sparking their creative side for their displays! ⭐ These students did a great job demonstrating their work in a unique and personable way! 🌟

🌟 Exciting News from CES 🌟 Ms. Driggers attended the Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC) 2025, where she discovered innovative strategies to enhance learning through technology. She introduced an engaging new edtech strategy for descriptive writing! ✍️💻 Here’s how it worked: 🔹 Students were given a writing prompt along with a picture to inspire a quick write. 🔹 After completing their writing, they anonymously voted on the piece they found most descriptive. 🔹 The top 3 writings were shared, sparking a lively discussion about the descriptive language and techniques used. The students were all smiles as they practiced their writing skills in a fun, interactive way. 🎉 This activity not only fostered creativity but also encouraged peer collaboration and critical thinking. Way to go, Ms. Driggers, for bringing back this incredible strategy! 💡👏
