4th grade ELA students spent the week examining the topic of therapy dogs. They learned that therapy dogs can help support students in reading along with many other things. After writing informational essays, they got a surprise visit from Dewar's very own, Pretzel 🐾. Mrs. Dillard did a fantastic job explaining how Pretzel works and all about his journey to becoming the amazing therapy dog he is. We especially enjoyed getting to pet him and watch him do a few cool tricks.
📚🕷️ Our 2nd graders just took their learning to the next level! After diving into the book "Spiders" by Gail Gibbons, they had an incredible opportunity to see a real pink-toed tarantula brought by Mr. T from 5th grade! 🐍✨ The students loved asking questions and discovering more about these fascinating creatures.
Ms. Shiver's science students became "CSI" to determine who "committed crimes" involving physical & chemical changes. Our investigators looked at various clues around the "crime scene" and identified Chem Chemical & Phys Physical as suspects.
Dewar Elementary had a fantastic time at Trunk or Treat at Texas Roadhouse. We were so glad to see some of our families!!!!!
Mrs. Hanson’s classes experienced scarcity by forming “countries” and attempting to “bake” chocolate chip cookies. After realizing no country had all the resources they needed, students had to trade and participate in voluntary exchange in order to obtain all of the needed ingredients. After that, each group specialized in 1-2 ingredients and saw first hand how specialization influences trade, supply, and demand. They celebrated all of their hard work by enjoying cookies. That is what we call sweet success!

This week, students in Mrs. Taylor's class have been reading "If Your Monster Won't Go to Bed. " The book describes an irresistible monster juice that includes oozy, crunchy bugs slimed with ooey-gooey snail trails. They decided to try it out! Students made a juice consisting of green Hawaiian Punch, Jell-O, Nerds, gummy worms, candy eyeballs, and spider rings. The class loved this monster juice mash up!
Fourth grade students in Dr. Hicks' Gifted Resource class had an exciting visit to the Valdosta State University STEAM Center on October 18! They dove into fun, hands-on activities at the interactive weather exhibits, exploring topics like the changing seasons, humidity, the water cycle, tornadoes, and even the Coriolis effect. The students loved learning about weather in such an engaging and interactive way—it was a day filled with fun, discovery, and lots of "aha!" moments!

Mrs. King's class wrapped up their Johnny Appleseed unit by making apple pie in a cup! We started by crushing graham crackers for the base, then added apple filling, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Before tasting, we made predictions about the flavor. After enjoying our tasty treats, we wrote down the steps we took using sequencing words. It was a fun way to celebrate our learning!
4th graders worked in teams to design and build their own Road to the American Revolution-themed board games. After carefully crafting the board games, the students had the opportunity to play each others games, bringing the key events of the Revolutionary War to life in an interactive way!
