This week in pre-K we have been exploring the concept of change and its effects. We are talking about how changes can happen over a long period of time or a short period of time. Some changes you may hardly notice while others make a big impact. We got to see how colors changed as drops of colors moved across a coffee filter. We have been talking about things that happen in the sequence of before, during and after. We have also been comparing lengths/heights to connect with our own routines. We’ve been discussing long waits vs. short waits.

This week in PreK we are talking about changes. Some brought baby pictures to share. We also played a game and placed pictures in order of growth.

Special thanks to the TES faculty and the Jackson County PTO for all the kindness on Principal’s day!!

WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! (This is going to a long post, so bare with me.) Our band students were very fortune enough to be able to participate in the Music in the Parks Festival. This is a national competition that is open to all school instrument and vocal groups from across the country! More on that later. On the first day of our our trip, we travelled to Atlanta and stopped by a place called "Buc-ee's" for lunch. A lot of kids (and parents) had never been here before. They were completely mesmerized by the place. Several people bought tons of food, souvenirs, and clothing. We probably could've had the whole trip right there, but we pushed on to Atlanta, checked into our hotel, and then went to dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. Actually, we first went to the WRONG Hard Rock Cafe, but that's another story. After dinner, we went to an AWESOME performance by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which is rated one of the Top 10 orchestras in the world. Side note--before the concert began, our school was recognized as a special guest of the orchestra. I had no idea they were going to do that, so that was a wonderful treat! The second day was spent at the Georgia Aquarium where everyone got to see whale sharks (the largest fish in the world), as well as dolphins, sea lions, beluga whales, and even a tiger shark! After that, we walked to the World Coca-Cola museum where we learned all about the history of Coca-Cola and also got to see THOUSANDS of Coca-Cola memorabilia throughout the years. At the end, everyone got to taste test all the different flavors of Coca-Cola products from around the world. Next, we travelled to the Atlanta Braves Baseball stadium. Unfortunately, we didn't get to stop and go in, but we did loop around and take pictures. Afterwards, we went to dinner at Olive Garden, back to the hotel to change for our performance, and then went to Douglas County High School to perform in competition. Our band was INCREDIBLE! They did an amazing job! The next day was spent at Six Flags over Georgia. Everyone had a lot of fun and rode crazy roller coasters such as The Batman, Twister Cyclone, The Goliath, and Superman Ultimate Flight. While at Six Flags, the announced the awards for the competition, and ... (drum roll) ... out of the five bands that competed, our band got SECOND PLACE!! That definitely deserves a "YAY BAND!" The last day we travelled home to Tuckerman, but of course not without stopping at Buc-ee's one more time! :-) This trip was unforgettable and our kids made some wonderful memories and got to experience new things that they otherwise may not have had a chance to do. I'd like to thank all the JCSD Administration for allowing us to go on this trip, as well as the parent chaperones who helped keep a watchful eye on everyone! Also to Ms. Stacy Bright for tagging along and keeping the kids healthy. She's also a great roller coaster ridin' buddy! And of course, to Carlos Lozano and Jack Shelby for driving and navigating to all the different locations we had to go to! Thanks for getting us there and back safely.
