Ms. Benefield's ELA classes have just wrapped up Unit 1 in Benchmark Advance, where they explored the fascinating world of corn cultivation and production in the U.S.
To showcase their learning, each student researched, wrote, and published an expository piece about corn production across the country. Then, taking their projects to the next level, students created AI characters using Adobe Express and recorded themselves reading their published writing to practice fluency and expression. To celebrate their hard work, students enjoyed a tasty snack of candy corn and popcorn while they watched and listened to each other’s recordings.

Mrs. Lopez's 5th graders just wrapped up a 3C's (Curate, Create, Collaborate) lesson, and they did an amazing job! 💪

To wrap up, they collaborated with classmates by watching each other’s videos, leaving thoughtful and constructive feedback, all while enjoying some delicious popcorn! 🍿
We’re so proud of their hard work, creativity, and communication skills. 🌟

Look at our brilliant future innovators! Dr. Hicks' fourth-grade gifted students became AI experts by completing the "Discover AI in Daily Life" lesson. They delved into the benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence, utilizing AI tools such as AutoDraw, Quick Draw, Google Translate, and Verse by Verse to gain hands-on experience.
