Kindergarten read "Rap a Tap Tap: Here's Bojangles-Think of That!" as a part of the Wit and Wisdom curriculum. Mrs. Cantrell's class had a special visitor from a tap teacher and tap student to teach them basic steps in tap. Mrs. Cantrell even found a way to make homemade tap shoes!
Fourth grade is studying poetry through the Wit and Wisdom curriculum. Mrs. Bagwell's (Ms. George student teacher) class held a poetry slam today to read aloud the fantastic poems that they composed. Mrs. Humphrey's first grade class made a perfect audience. Snacks and drinks were provided and fun was had by all!
Our very own Stingray, Cage Baker, will be selling 3D printed Stingrays at this event. He will be donating a portion of his proceeds back to the school. Please go and support him!
