🔓 Mission Accepted! Our 6th graders are locked in and racing against the clock as they tackle the ultimate fraction escape room challenge!
We made it through our very first month! 🎉 To celebrate this major milestone and wrap up August in maximum comfort, we’re hosting a Pajama Day on August 31st! Wear your absolute favorite PJs, kick back, and relax with us—you’ve earned it.
Our 5th graders in Mrs. Mabry’s class turned into naval engineers this week! Students put their science skills to the test during the Build-a-Ship Lab.
The challenge sounded simple but required serious brainpower:
The Materials: Exactly one sheet of aluminum foil.
The Mission: Design a boat that floats and holds the maximum weight in marbles.
The Science: Applying real-world concepts of buoyancy, density, floating, and sinking.
Students experimented with different shapes, surface areas, and hull designs to see how displacement affects capacity. Ask your 5th grader how many marbles their ship managed to hold before taking on water!
Mrs. Mabry’s homeroom winners were: Jack, Bennie, Pyper, & Sarah (boat held 172 marbles)
Mrs. D’s homeroom winners: Lynnlee, Kanan, and Raylan (their boat held 456 marbles) & OVERALL winners
Mrs. Robbie’s homeroom winners: Sophia, Mason, and Roxi (boat held 103 marbles)
It’s great to see the Mustang spirit alive and well at the elementary school today! Students and staff brought the energy wearing their camo and orange to back the football team.
Good luck tonight, Mustangs—the whole school is behind you! 🐴 🔥

🎨 Look at these brilliant creations from Ms. Ashmore's class! 📚✨
Our students have been diving deep into Maybe Something Beautiful, using their own artwork and illustrations to bring the text, settings, and characters to life.

Our Mustangs rocked their red and blue for Spirit Day with big smiles and bold colors! ❤️💙🐴
Our 5th graders turned into full-fledged scientists today as they explored the phases of matter and the chemistry of solutions! They kicked off class by tracking a single ice cube’s transformation in real time and leveled up their scientific vocabulary, mastering terms like solute, solvent, solution, and solubility. Hands-on discovery is truly the best way to learn, and our 5th graders crushed it today! 🧊💧💨✨

What is everything around us made of? Mrs. Mabry’s 5th graders know! 💡
This week, our students stepped into the shoes of real chemists to investigate the Properties of Matter. They sorted and categorized various everyday substances into solids, liquids, and gases—then took a closer look at the atomic level to explore how atoms and molecules behave in each state of matter. Swipe through to see our 5th-grade researchers in action! 📸🥼

In Mrs. Gunter’s class, we turned erasing into an art form today! Students traded in standard erasers for Q-tips today to work on precise control and line tracing. Watch out world, these handwriting muscles are growing! 💪✨
