This year’s theme at Dewar is “Adventure Awaits,” and our 5th-grade students are taking that literally! They kicked off Social Studies by traveling around the room to explore key historical sites like the Chisholm Trail, Kitty Hawk, Chicago, Montgomery, and Philadelphia. From cattle drives to civil rights, they’re gearing up for an exciting journey through American history!

Students in Mrs. Godwin’s classes were so focused when doing this Social Studies activity. They labeled the 6 major rivers with different colored M&Ms, and used marshmallows and mini chocolate chips to label 2 of the mountain ranges we have learned about. It’s always fun to eat the food when finished too!

🧩 Dr. Hicks' second-grade gifted students have been learning about logic puzzles!
They read clues and marked a logic grid with X = no and O = yes to narrow choices until the answer clicked. For the finale, they designed original logic puzzles in Canva and then swapped to solve their classmates’ creations—so much creativity and problem-solving on display!

Mrs. Godwin’s 3rd graders have been practicing creating and reading bar graphs with scales of 2, 5, and 10. They had fun putting their digital skills to work by creating a design using pattern blocks. Then they completed a graph to show the number of each pattern block they used. They were very creative in the designs they made.
