Mrs. Keebleโs 6th grade class enjoys participating in a reading program with the Kindergarten class. The reading buddies program helps model good reading and students improve their skills. The older students gain the opportunity to develop fluency as well as a sense of pride in their accomplishments. In addition, they often come to see the value and love of reading as well as gaining self-esteem. Kindergarteners build a relationship with the older students and improve their reading skills as well.
Pre-K and K5 students celebrated the 100th day of school recently. K5 enjoyed making 100โs Day necklaces, having a candy hunt for 100 pieces of candy in the library, playing โRace to 100โ partner games in the classroom, and having a special 100โs Day snack. All students had a great time celebrating being 100 days smarter!ย We love our little Knights, they are so precious! We love our teachers too – way to go Ms. Lawrence, Ms. Taylor, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Bruce and Ms. Mills!
First grade teacher, ๐ ๐ฟ๐. ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ต has partnered with Mrs. Mary Hughes, from the Montgomery Humane Society, and her therapy dog, Larry. Together they have been teaching the students about pet responsibilities, dog safety, and are practicing their reading skills as well. Students get to meet and read each week with Larry one-on-one. As they are reading their library books to Larry, he helps calm any anxiety that they may be feeling with reading because he is such a good listener. Mrs. Smith says โThis is a great opportunity that helps our first graders become stronger readers as they build up their confidence! We look forward to our time with Mrs. Mary and Larry every week!โ

For the past several years, Macon East students in K-3, K-4, 2nd and 4th grade classes have participated in Scholasticโs Pajama Program. Students are encouraged to donate brand-new pajamas for this annual great bedtime story pajama drive. For every pair of pajamas donated, Scholastic Book Clubs donates a brand-new book to Pajama Program. The purpose of this program is to give kids affected by instability a good night – for a good day! This year these Macon East classes donated over 50 pairs of new pajamas!
