Our Clay Hill teachers honed their skills during professional development this week. They focused on strategies for building a culture of high expectations through structured systems for student engagement. Accountability is strong in classrooms where ALL students are expected to think, write, pair, and share!

To kick off the year, the fourth graders took on three major challenges designed to build trust and cooperation. From solving 100-piece mystery puzzles without a picture and tackling 3D spatial cubes to creatively mapping out our parent/student handbook, they proved that we accomplish so much more when we work together. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Mrs. Atteberry's class paired up to put their measuring skills to the test!!
Using a meter stick, students were able to take turns estimating, then measuring each other's height. Using the data they collected, students were able to determine who was tallest! Safe to say, these Bulldogs had a blast!

A hands-on Play-Doh session gave MS. Wall's kindergarteners valuable time to build independence, focus, and motor strength. Working with their hands reinforces the finger dexterity, spatial awareness, and endurance needed for our daily writing and academic work. Ask your child what masterpiece they engineered on Monday!
