Third grade worked so hard to earn their first nine weeks behavior reward! By following our behavior matrix and showing PRIDE, students earned a trip to Tyndall Park!
Our Panthers practiced the five parts of our PRIDE pledge:
🐾 **P** – Problem Solvers
🐾 **R** – Respectful
🐾 **I** – I am Kind
🐾 **D** – Deeply Responsible
🐾 **E** – Entirely Honest
Good choices add up! We are proud of our third graders for taking responsibility, treating others with kindness, and helping make Angie Grant a great place to learn. Their hard work earned a well-deserved day of play! ❤️🐾

Mrs. Davis' Second Grade Class
📏📐 Measuring, comparing, and learning together! Math is more fun when we get hands-on! Our little mathematicians are exploring centimeters, learning how to use rulers correctly, measuring different objects, and comparing their results with friends. We’re building math skills, practicing teamwork, and learning that every centimeter counts! 💙

Red Ribbon Week gave us the perfect excuse to celebrate some of the superhero women who make Angie Grant such a special place! 🐾
Second-grade teacher Mrs. Davis teamed up with her mom, Mrs. Rose, one of our wonderful speech-language pathologists, for this superhero moment! How special is it to have a mother-daughter duo caring for our Panthers?
Our newest speech-language pathologist, Mrs. Carden, has jumped right in wherever she’s needed and is learning all the things that make AGE special. We’re so glad she’s part of our Panther family!
And our occupational therapist, Miss Sydney, is one of the kindest, sweetest souls you could ever meet. Her caring heart makes a difference for our students every day. ❤️
These ladies may have dressed up for Red Ribbon Week, but the love and support they give our Panthers are their everyday superpowers! Thank you for all you do! 🦸♀️🐾

🎃🍎 A little mixing, a little science, and a whole lot of learning in Mrs. Brown’s class!
Our young scientists explored liquids and solids and used their senses of touch and smell while making pumpkin moon sand and apple pie spice playdough. What a fun way to bring fall into the classroom!
Tomorrow, students will use their creations to shape letters during reading—connecting hands-on science with literacy learning. Learning is taking shape at Angie Grant! 🐾📚

🔦⚡ STEM Learning Is Shining Bright at Angie Grant! ⚡🔦
Our Panthers have been busy investigating, experimenting, and making discoveries in Mrs. Kurtz’s STEM class!
🔦 First Grade explored how light passes through different objects. Students tested materials, recorded their observations, and put some impressive science vocabulary to work: transparent, translucent, and opaque!
⚡ Fourth Grade sparked their curiosity while learning about electricity! Students worked with circuits and tested materials to discover which ones conduct electricity and which ones act as insulators. They recorded their observations and discussed what they noticed about the materials they tested.
We love seeing our Panthers ask questions, test their ideas, and learn through hands-on experiences! Thank you, Mrs. Kurtz, for making science come to life! 🐾❤️

Mrs. Williams’ kindergarten students have been practicing connecting quantities to numbers in math. Students are learning to use counting strategies to count objects and write the number that matches.
To put their skills into practice, students participated in a Halloween-themed Count the Room activity! 🎃 Working with their PBJ partners, students traveled around the classroom to count objects, record their answers, and check each other’s work.
This hands-on activity provided a fun way for students to strengthen their counting skills, connect quantities to numbers, and work collaboratively with their classmates! 🧡🔢

Hola!!
We just finish celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with the ESL students leading a parade during the assembly. The whole month, we learned many facts about the history, culture, and contributions of American Citizens who came from Mexico, Hondurans, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
Adios!

Learning is all around us at AGE! 📚✨
Our teachers thoughtfully create classroom environments where students feel supported and confident taking on challenges. From phonics and writing to math, anchor charts and visual references help students revisit skills, choose strategies, and check their work throughout the year. As students use these tools, they build independence, take pride in their progress, and prepare for the learning ahead!
At AGE, we can do hard things, and learning is required! 💪

🎃 Pumpkin science—with a side of slime!
Mrs. Brown’s class carved a pumpkin to bring their living and nonliving unit to life! Students learned that pumpkin plants grow from seeds, develop vines, and need water and nutrients to grow. 🌱
Our hands-on explorers identified colors, counted seeds, and investigated textures like hard, soft, slimy, and wet. They also compared flat and round features—so much learning packed into one pumpkin! 🧡

🏅 Going for the gold in 2nd grade!
Our second graders brought their CKLA learning to life with their very own Greek Olympics! After exploring Greek civilization and Greek myths, students celebrated with bike races, wheelbarrow races, and relay races. 🚲🏃
A little friendly competition, a lot of teamwork, and a memorable way to cross the finish line on this unit! ❤️🐾

Our 4th grade students have started a new unit on energy, focusing on electric currents! Today, we welcomed our guest speaker, Mrs. Koch, who helped kick off our first lesson and introduce scholars to this exciting topic. Through this experience, scholars are building their knowledge, encouraging curiosity, and making connections to real-world science. This activity supports Growth by expanding their understanding, Excellence by encouraging active learning, and Preparation by building a strong foundation for future science lessons.

🍦 A sweet evening at Angie Grant!
We had a wonderful turnout for our Ice Cream Social, Report to the Public, and Annual Title I Meeting! Thank you to all the families who were able to attend. We loved spending time together and sharing how we’re helping our Panthers grow! ❤️🐾
Couldn’t join us? Here are a few highlights:
• **Our students are making progress!** Proficiency increased in reading, math, and science. Third-grade math proficiency rose from 26% to 47%!
• **We’re focused on continued growth.** This year’s priorities include improving academic achievement, strengthening reading and science growth, and reducing major behavior referrals.
• **Title I supports our Panthers.** Funding helps provide reading aides, intervention support, instructional resources, and family learning events.
• **Families are essential partners.** Read together daily, make attendance a priority, and ask your child’s teacher for one skill to practice at home.
Thank you for partnering with us. At Angie Grant, learning is required—and every Panther matters!

Mrs. Shelton's Class is taking a break from learning about area to work on mental health with Hazel, the greatest therapy dog ever. The students fell so great after a visit from our friend.
Pumpkin Investigation in Kindergarten! 🔎🎃
Mrs. Turner’s kindergarten class wrapped up their CKLA Knowledge unit on the 5 Senses with a fun, hands-on pumpkin investigation! 👀👂👃🖐️👅
Our little scientists used all five sense to explore a pumpkin. We used describing words to tell about the pumpkin’s inside and outside, made predictions about how many seeds we thought were inside, and counted the lines on our pumpkin. We observed, discussed, made predictions, and counted as we investigated like real scientists!
And, of course, we ended our investigation with a delicious pumpkin treat! 😋🧡
Learning is always more meaningful when we can see it, touch it, explore it, and experience it! 📚✨
