The last few weeks, Mrs. Lowe's 5th grade Science class has been learning about Earth's rotations and shadows. Last week, they created sundials and tested them. By facing the sundials to the north, the students were able to tell time. They also drew their shadows at recess and then went back to see how the shadows had changed due to the Earth's rotation. What a fun Science lesson!

Congratulations to Mrs. Roberts homeroom class for having the highest attendance rate for the month of December. This is the second month in a row! They get to keep the astronaut in their class all month, and Mrs. Roberts spun the wheel for students to win a prize. Keep up the good work Elementary Eagles!

Your Lady Eagles traveled to Yantis to begin the second round of district play and made an immediate statement, dominating the game from start to finish. From the opening tip, the Lady Eagles set the tone with relentless energy on both ends of the floor, never allowing Yantis to find any rhythm.
