Mrs Shoop (2nd Grade) has been keeping word work engaging this week! Students had to roll cubes for onset (beginning letter)and rime (ending letter pattern). They had to write and read their letter pattern and decide if they had created a real word or nonsense word. Other students worked independently with support from our high school TA! GR8 work, Tigers!

Ms. Treuner (2nd Grade) covered a lot of skills during her guided reading group time! Students worked with letter tiles for word work, read a story, completed a five finger retell, and even used some special reading tools. They segmented sounds with magnetic chips and scooped up the word with a "magic" wand! Students waiting for their turn at the table completed independent reading activities on their chromebooks.

Mrs. Sleeper, our Title 1 teacher, has been working hard with Mrs. Hammers to support teachers with our new testing system. They have put in countless hours learning about the new STAR assessments, testing students, analyzing beginning of the year data, deciding on interventions for various students, setting individual student goals, and developing reading plans as needed. Mrs. Sleeper is already using her expertise in phonemic awareness and phonics to support students.

Ms. Kelley was utilizing a variety of strategies with her beginning readers yesterday. A fan favorite was the enlarged "Scrabble-like" Blending Board! She pointed to each tile and said the sounds with students. Then, she slid her hand across the word as students read the word! GR8 modeling!

Mrs. Hilt's 3rd graders had a great discussion about their nonfiction book during guided reading today while other students read independently. The highlight of the small group time was a super engaging activity with syllables and index cards! They liked it so much that they asked to do it twice! It was all hands on deck!

Lady Tigers stormed the Cole Camp Bluebirds’ homecourt Tuesday night taking the win, 25-14, 24-26, 25-15, 25-19.  An impressive night of defense with 6 players in double-digit digs kept the Lady Tigers in control of the offense.  Abby Warner shut down the Bluebird hitters leading the Lady Tigers with 29 digs.  Zakiyah Morse scrambled for 26 digs, Nevaeh Washington had 20 and Sydney Gordon 18 digs.  Defense didn’t stop there, Emery Cannon and Mallory Reed chipped in with 14 and 13 digs in what was an exciting match.  With the defense in control, Lady Tigers were able to swing away on offense incorporating some new free-ball combination plays.  Nevaeh led the team with 19 kills.  Following Nevaeh’s lead, Emery finished with 11 kills; Abby with 8 kills;  Zakiyah 7 kills; Sydney 5 kills; and  Freshman Aliya Edington chipped in 2 well-timed kills of own.  Setters Sydney and Mallory finished with 22 and 14 assists respectively.  Adding to the night from the serving line, Nevaeh had 4 aces, Mallory 3 aces, Emery 2 aces, and Zakiyah 1 ace.   Lady Tigers are now 12-9-1 and 5-2 in the Kaysinger Conference.  They return to Cole Camp Thursday night for the Kaysinger Tournament and will play the following pool matches:  Cole Camp at 5:00pm, LaMonte at 6:00pm, and Lincoln at 8:00pm.   Well done Lady Tigers!
