Mrs. Contreras’s 2nd-grade scientists had a hands-on learning experience exploring how atoms connect to form molecules and other structures. Students used marshmallows to represent atoms and toothpicks to depict the bonds connecting them. They had a great time creating their own structures while practicing creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork!

Science is always more enjoyable when we can build it! 💙 #wearejtr #4theT

Georgia Reads Day

📚 Georgia Reads Day is September 21st!

On September 21st Tift County will join other communities across Georgia celebrating Georgia Reads Day, kicking off Georgia Reads Week, September 21st – 25th.

Georgia Reads Day is an opportunity for everyone to celebrate literacy by sharing a simple, meaningful moment with a child, family member, student, neighbor, or friend. You do not need a special event, a classroom, or even a new book!

💬 A conversation is a literacy moment.
🎶 A song is a literacy moment.
📖 A story is a literacy moment.
📚 A trip to the library is a literacy moment.

Follow us on social media and throughout the week we will share literacy activities you can enjoy at home with your child. Every literacy moment helps build the skills, confidence, and curiosity children need to become lifelong learners.

A big shout out!!
Ms. Elisa and Ms. McCall’s Pre-K class learned that September 11 is a day when our country remembers a very sad event from long ago. They talked about the bravery of community helpers who kept people safe, and then students decorated their own flags with markers, crayons, and stamps. ❤️🤍💙

Today Ms. Elisa and Ms. McCall’s Pre-K class spoke about how years ago something sad happened on 9/11 and our community helpers helped save people. We then decorated our own flag using markers, crayons, and stamps.
Regular attendance is essential for student success. Tift County Schools works with families through a step-by-step attendance intervention process when students have unexcused absences, repeated tardies, or early check-outs. Please communicate with your child’s school when challenges arise so we can provide support before attendance concerns become more serious. Together, we can help every student stay present and on track!

Buzzing into science! 🐝 Mrs. Onyeri’s GATE resource 2nd graders became "bees" today to learn exactly how pollination works. By visualizing how pollen moves from flower to flower, students discovered just how important these pollinators are! Things got a little messy, a little cheesy, and a lot of fun! 💙 #wearejtr #4theT

When you're walking down the hall at JTR and think you’re seeing double! 📸✨Check out Ms. Carter and a student completely twinning today, and it was too sweet not to capture.
