year. Readers who earned the most points for their hard work and

William Barnett, Tamera Lee, Jacquae DeBerry, Everett Hutcherson,

Sing a song about science
LMS students in Ms. Kim Webb’s science class are currently
studying the solar system. Along with other activities, the
class learned a song to help them remember the names of the
planets, their rotations, revolution schedules and the order
they appear in from the sun. The students shared the song, which
also distinguished the inner planets from the outer planets,
with each of the school’s administrators in the front foyer of
the school.
As a part of the unit, students recently completed one-page
essays on surviving in space. In the paper, the students were
traveling to Pluto and had to make an emergency stop. Which
planet did they choose and why? What did they do to save
themselves? Students were also required to choose a planet, draw
it and list facts about it for display on the wall in the
hallway.
To complete the unit, the students will create comets in the
classroom.
LMS students move FastForword
Eighth grade students at Lauderdale Middle School recently
completed seven weeks in the FastForword lab. The students did
extremely well in the program, and leading achievers won prizes
daily and weekly. At the close of the session, over half of each
class graduated into the Literacy Advanced program, and several
tested at 70 percent and above. A boy and girl in each of the
five classes received a prize at the end of the seven weeks.
Winners included Brooklyn Williams and Joseph Cunningham, Laura
Mueller and Jacob Watkins, Aonetta Barber and Jwane Craig,
Miesha Whitelow and Cadarrius Norfolk, Sierra Brown and Anfernee
Smith.
Sixth-grade students just began their time in the lab, and
teachers are expecting the same great results.
