engineers who use team work,
communication, and creative
thinking to solve problems as
we build dreams and become
lifelong learners in a global society.

After studying the science unit on rocks, sand and silt 1st
grade students read
Sylverster and the Magic Pebble.
The students then designed a magic
rock and listed the properties of the rock. 
Mr. Ned, a volunteer in Ms. McCroskey's kindergarten class showed students
how to carve pumpkins that were
donated by Harris Teeter.

Rack Room Shoes Donates
over $600 to Rachel Freeman
School of Engineering
Rack Room Shoes is proud
to partner with Shoes That Fit,a
national, non-profit organization
dedicated to helping underprivileged
children. As a Shoes That Fit
Chapter, their stores throughout
the country raise funds to
provide shoes to these needy
children so they can attend
school in comfort and
with dignity.
Third grade students had to design
waterproof covers for a cast to make
it easier for people with broken
bones to take baths or enjoy a pool.
To simulate a cast, students tested
paper mache wrapped around a
popsicle stick to represent the bone.
They had to choose which materials
would be the best for keeping
the water out. The cast covers
were tested by holding them under
water for at least 10 seconds.
With the Senteo Smart Response
interactive response systems,
teachers gain accurate and
immediate insight into student
learning while increasing
comprehension, retention
and engagement.

Second grade students are
"Egg-cited about the Embryology
activities they are doing as
part of their Life Cycles unit.
They are studying embryology through
the hatching of chicken eggs.
The eggs will hatch in approximately
21 days, around the
18th of November.
Students learn about
what happens each day as the
chick matures and will
study the different
stages of growth.
On October 28th Ms. Crow's 2nd grade
Intervention group performed a
Reader's Theater called Big Pumpkin.
It is the story of how a little bat
teaches a witch, vampire,mummy,and
ghost to work together to pull a very
big pumpkin from the vine. The group
practiced every day for a month.
Invitions were created and sent
to friends, parents and staff members.
After a wonderful performance,
the group had a Halloween
Donut Breakfast.
