🔬 Mrs. Mabry’s 5th graders put separation techniques to the test with hand-on mixture experiments! They discovered that salt water forms a solution that filters can't separate—so they placed their cups in the window to let evaporation work its magic. They also explored chemical changes, learning that once a new substance is created, it can't be separated back out. Way to think like real scientists! 🧪✨

Progress reports are heading home today! Be sure to dig through those backpacks this afternoon or ask your student to show you their report so you can see all the hard work they’ve been putting in. Keeping track of their growth is a team effort, so if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to celebrate a win, don't hesitate to reach out directly to your child’s teacher. Let’s keep working together for a great school year!

Sadly, we have to cancel tonight's parent night at the Tate County District Office with Bark Technologies. Parents and Guardians, we will be sending out more information through text and phone calls. #TogetherAchievingTeamExcellence
