EGGSperimental!
Submitted by Sue Ann McQueen, Pine Ridge Elementary

Hydro-Growing
Submitted by Hattie Criswell, Pine Ridge Elementary
Pine Ridge Elementary - Mrs. Criswell’s third grade classes are studying life science. As part of our study, they created seed sprouters and in the sprouters, they placed a piece of popcorn, a sunflower, a bean, and a pea. The students have been trying to see if it is possible to grow seeds without soil. Students have been surprised at the changes in the seeds each day and especially in the sprouts. Wow! It is possible to grow seed without soil!
A SENSE of Wonder!
Submitted by Sue Ann McQueen, Pine Ridge Elementary
Pine Ridge Elementary - While studying the five senses, First Graders at PRE were blindfolded and asked to find their way down a familiar path to the classroom utilizing their memory skills and senses of touch and hearing. Once they entered the classroom and found their desk, their sense of smell was heightened by aromas given off from the snacks which lay in front of them. Still blindfolded, students tried to guess the items on their plates through their sense of smell, touch and taste. After the blindfolds were removed, the snacks were enjoyed and students continued the lesson with a transition into adjectives and writing.

Future Writers of America
Submitted by Sue Ann McQueen, Pine Ridge Elementary
Pine Ridge Elementary - The writing process was a success! All students became published authors and illustrators as each of the 8 first grade classes at PRE published their first book. The writers completed each individual step of the process by prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing their masterpieces. Parents were given the opportunity to purchase the books sight unseen as precious keepsakes.

Walking With Dinosaurs-The Live Experience!
Submitted by Janie Prather, Livingston High School
Livingston High School - On Thursday, April 3rd, a group of students from LHS traveled to the Toyota Center in Houston to see the awesome dinosaur show, "Walking With Dinosaurs-The Live Experience". This educational and entertaining event will be on tour in North America for the next two years. Being able to see these life-sized creatures really brought to life our study of dinosaurs. You really can't imagine how big they must have been until you see these robotic dinosaurs walk through the forest, and fight for survival and supremacy. Students in Mrs. Prather's class enjoyed seeing these dinosaurs come to life!
