Watch This

Kids... this song says so much and I am not sure what it would mean to a 6th grader, as opposed to an old lady like me.. but take the time to listen and know that God is with you.. even when life seems hard. Please know that things that seem like a really big deal to you now will be a very small memory one day. The great and wonderful memories are the ones that you will carry with you. Don't wish your life away. Enjoy being a kid. Stay one as long as you can. I love you.

GO Bulldogs! Mississippi State, that is. ;)

The kids were so excited, as was I, to have a visit from Kendrick Cook last week. Kendrick is a former AMS student who is now a starting freshman on the Mississippi State University football team. Kendrick, a tight end, had some great things to say to the 6th graders about the importance of education while he was here. ( Side note- I was star struck as any of the kids- I went to Mississippi State myself LOL)

Kids-- some of you mentioned wanting to have a copy of the photo. Right click on it then you can print or save it as you wish! :)

We are learning about Idioms! Horse idioms are my favorite... comment if you want and tell me your favorite idiom. This is worth 5 bonus points. Good

We made the news!

We will be featured in the St. Clair Times this week! Here is a preview of the photo that will be published in the paper. Our school has recieved a nine novel set for EACH student to KEEP. Townsend Press generously donated the book sets after I wrote them a letter regarding a book program they have. I am so excited to see kids reading all these books! You probably have seen The Bully book that already came home. This week, the eight other novels are in the hands of the kids!!
