Many of our third-graders were TV stars last week during the “Reading Rally & Book Giveaway” to celebrate the importance of “reading on grade level.” The District has partnered with the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy and St. Joe Community Foundation – and Butler is the pilot launch school. A subset of third-graders will receive intensive special reading assistance this year in what is a nationally acclaimed, STEM-focused program. Check out the video about why reading is so important in third grade, and years prior. We were honored to have Superintendent Anderson come join the fun --- and Thank You to @ChoctawhatcheeElectricCooperative,Inc. and @KellyAnne and so many local businesses involved in having ALL of our 210 third-graders excited about reading this year!

Ms. Mills class participated in an AIMS activity where they launched rockets…
Stomp rockets is a great hands-on activity that concluded our lessons on Earth and Space. In this lessons the students use the scientific method to hypothesize, conduct the experiment, analyze the results, draw conclusions and report results. They also reflected on how they could have changed or improved the experiment. The discussed and analyzed design aspects, environmental factors and other things that could change the results. In addition to the science aspect students used a real life number line to decipher their results and estimate their final distances based on where their rockets landed and how close or far they were from the positions that were marked.
