Tech & Engineering Expo
Our Tech & Engineering Expo last week was fascinating! Learnwell students spent many weeks working together on projects in areas of technology and engineering. Many students built prototypes or presented on topics that explored environmental protection in various ways. We are so proud of the students who participated — thanks to everyone who came out to support their hard work. Way to go, students!

8th Graders Share History Projects & Visit Kennesaw Mountain
The 8th-grade class worked hard to research different inventions and important figures in American history, and then they presented their findings in very creative ways. Some recreated inventions that became precursors to modern-day tools while others built models and wrote poetry. Topics included espionage and the Civil War, the telegraph, Dorothy Dix, Abraham Lincoln and the Andersonville Prison. We’re proud of how hard you worked, 8th grade! Last week, many of these students took a field trip to see the Kennesaw Mountain to learn about its role in Georgia history.

Turkey Time in K-3rd
Our kindergarteners, first graders, second graders, and third graders all made turkeys to recognize Thanksgiving when eat a traditional meal and celebrate gratitude. The kindergarten class reimagined their turkeys to look like their favorite things. Some of the turkeys “dressed up” as Starbucks coffee drinks, Paw Patrol characters, and even a box of crayons. We have some creative kindergarteners!

4th & 5th Graders Learn About Stress Management
Our fourth and fifth graders learned about aligning your activities with your priorities, such as family, church, and school. They also got to explore the meaning of stress and how living by our priorities helps us minimize the stress in our lives. Looking at the positives, focusing on only what we can control, and remaining firm in their faith were some of the tools these students discussed. Mrs. Allison and Mrs. Stephanie shared an object lesson about priorities and then took the students outside to make stress relief balls.
