Emerson Elementary School

Second grade had a thanksgiving lunch in the hallway. They have been learning about Native Americans and today they got to dress like them and feast like them!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have an exciting opportunity for our students to participate in the Bartow Cares 4 U – Be Grateful Contest and win tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters Game at Lakepoint Sports on December 11th. Lakepoint, one of our partners in the Bartow Cares 4 U/Bee Relational Campaign, would like to recognize selected students at the game as part of our gratitude focus for this nine weeks. Check out the information below.

Our first graders had an amazing time at today’s petting zoo! 🐐🐰🐓 As they met and observed each animal up close, students made real-world connections to Module 2: Creature Features from our Arts & Letters curriculum. They noticed fur, feathers, beaks, tails, and more—using their new knowledge to talk about how each feature helps the animal survive and thrive. Hands-on learning made for a fun day of discovery!

Our 3rd grade students had the incredible opportunity to join a live Zoom call with Dr. Sandra “Sandy” Magnus—Georgia Tech graduate, Professor of Practice at GTRI, NASA astronaut, and a 2022 inductee into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame! 👩‍🚀⭐ Dr. Magnus shared her inspiring journey to becoming an astronaut, her three NASA missions, and what it was like spending over 150 days in space. Students also got to listen in as kids from across Georgia asked her amazing questions about space travel, training, and life beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Experiences like this are rare, and we are so thankful for Georgia Tech Research Institute for allowing our students to connect with a real astronaut! 🚀💛

Some of our Exceptional Education students had a fun field trip to The Sweet Cocoon yesterday! It was a beautiful fall day full of sensory and exploring their new inclusive tree house! 🍂☀️🍁🌳

Last week our 4th graders had a great field trip to the Booth Western Art Museum. Students learned about the westward expansion of America in the 1800s.

Happy World Kindness Day!🩷🌎 Students in Mrs. Nasworthy’s and Mrs. Barker’s classes enjoyed handing out kindness gifts to all of the staff members of Emerson Elementary today! They sorted, colored, and sealed their special gifts in preparation of the day! This morning, the students traveled through the hallways to spread kindness and big smiles with music and spontaneous dance parties! It felt so rewarding to do kind things for others! What kind act can you do for someone today?
