🥨🍫 Math you can see, touch, and EAT! 🍫🥨

Mrs. Almanza’s 2nd graders had a delicious way to review adding and subtracting two-digit numbers today! Students used pretzels and M&Ms as base-ten blocks to model tens and ones while practicing their math skills.

The rain held off and our fourth graders had an excellent day of learning and adventure at the Emerald Hollow Mine in Hiddenite, NC! 💎⛏️

Students got to explore, dig, and search for their very own treasures while learning more about rocks, minerals, and the geology of our area. From the excitement of finding hidden gems to getting their hands dirty, it was a field trip full of hands-on learning and unforgettable memories! We love seeing our Shuford Owls learning beyond the classroom! 🦉💙💛

We didn't just welcome our kiddos back this week. We also welcomed Mrs. King's classroom pet leopard geckos, Tarzan and Jane.
Her 4th-graders learned all about them before getting them out. There was so much excitement when they could hold them for the first time! The lizards even enjoyed the extra attention too! 🦎💚

At the August 6th, North Carolina State Board of Education meeting, State Board members stated that they will carefully review the proposal and all accompanying materials using the criteria established in North Carolina law. At this time, they anticipate discussing the review process, timeline, and next steps at their September meeting.

Please consider submitting your public comment on why they should NOT move forward with the merger by emailing Tiffany Lucas, General Counsel for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, tiffany.lucas@dpi.nc.gov ..

Make your voice heard and make it clear why Newton-Conover City Schools should remain untouched and allowed to continue their excellence, independent of others, for generations to come.
