Ms. Washington's 2nd grade class worked in collaborative groups for their upcoming Culminating Writing Task on Character's Facing Challenges this week.
Our students had a blast practicing addition within 20! They learned how to decompose numbers to make 10, then created their own equations to solve. Way to go, mathematicians!
Mrs. Holley’s 2nd graders used base ten blocks to tackle 2-digit addition problems. Hands-on learning makes math click!

Safety Awareness Month Message:
September is recognized across the state of Georgia as Safety Awareness Month. During this time, we are conducting intruder, lockdown and other safety drills on our school campuses. In Decatur County Schools, we take this opportunity to educate and equip our students to respond quickly and safely to any and all emergency situations. Safety is and will always be our number one priority in Decatur County Schools.
Monday we celebrated Georgia Reads Day in the library! Students enjoyed listening to The Magician’s Hat by Georgia native and Super Bowl Champion, Malcolm Mitchell—a story all about the magic of books and how they can inspire dreams.
After the story, our students tapped into their creativity by designing their own book covers that showed what they want to do or be when they grow up. From future teachers and athletes to community helpers and artists, their imaginations were shining bright!
We are so proud of their big dreams and the stories they are beginning to write for their own futures.

We are so proud of all our Kindergarten engineers. Creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration were on full display during the STEAM Kindergarten paper chain challenge!

Congratulations to Mrs. Strickland’s students for building the longest paper chain which measured a total of 47 feet!
