🎄🍪 Gingerbread Fun in Ms. Thigpen and Ms. Melissa’s Class! 🍪🎄
This week, Ms. Thigpen and Ms. Melissa’s class dove into all things gingerbread! 🏠✨ They listened to different gingerbread stories and voted on their favorite. The students made gingerbread ornaments using cinnamon, applesauce, and glue, and even tasted gingerbread cookies while predicting if they would sink or float in water. To top it all off, they built their very own gingerbread houses! 🎉
What a fun and festive way to learn! 🎅🍭

In Coach Lanier’s US History class, students are diving into the Civil War!✨
They covered William T. Sherman and his dramatic “March to the Sea” following the Battle of Atlanta. Now, our young historians are getting creative—each student will write a letter or journal entry as if they were a civilian in 1864, sharing how Sherman’s campaign affected their life. 📝💭
