✏️Ms. Larkin and Ms. Ratcliff used station teaching to dive deep into Gary Soto’s “Seventh Grade,” guiding small groups of students as they analyzed theme, mood, character development, and author’s purpose. ✏️Through hands-on activities and collaborative discussions, students showcased their ability to explain key literary elements and support their thinking with evidence. #LeadingfromtheMiddle #WarriorsatWork

Assistant Principal May met with each homeroom class this month for a PBIS booster lesson. The focus for September was teaching students how to access PowerSchool to check their grades, attendance, and assessment data. Knowing exactly where they stand helps students set goals and take charge of their learning. #LeadingfromtheMiddle #BetheBrand #WarriorsatWork

Principal Choice had the pleasure of catching up with Tanner today for a Warrior Walk (Check & Connect)! 🌟 Tanner is an exceptional student who excels in the classroom. He has good attendance, excellent grades, and a positive attitude. When asked about his academic success, Tanner shared what he has learned over the years: ✅It's all about your mindset, you have to be willing to do what it takes to succeed. ✅Eat breakfast, you're not your best self when you're hungry. ✅Stay focused while in class. If students are being disruptive, let them know they need to be focused and help them get on task. When students are disruptive, they block everyone including themselves from learning. Thanks for being the brand Tanner, we're so proud of you. Scholars, get ready, you may be next for a Warrior Walk! #leadingfromthemiddle #bethebrand #WarriorPride

📚Our eighth graders enjoyed a wonderful day of teaching and learning outside the classroom at Ocmulgee Mounds. They experienced Georgia Studies and geography firsthand through exploration and discovery.

💙Today in Dr. Scott's seventh grade Healthcare Science class, students got hands-on with DNA. During the mini-lesson, Dr. Scott reviewed DNA structure and demonstrated how to build a model using Twizzlers for the sugar-phosphate backbone, marshmallows for the nitrogen bases, and toothpicks for hydrogen bonds. 🍡 💛Students then worked in small groups to construct their own DNA models, label key parts, and share their creation with the class. Hands-on learning never looked so sweet! 🍡 #LeadingfromtheMiddle #BetheBrand #WarriorsatWork
