Had so fun participating in our county’s virtual book bowl. Can’t wait to take our top four students to TomeCon!! Lori McGovern Dr. Jennifer Williams Ijeoma Johnson

You have a road trip so of course you read the books from your library. So thankful for our Newton County media and tech department! ⁦Lori McGovern⁩ ⁦Dr. Jennifer Williams⁩ #newbooks

Oh no the “Math Curse” has hit me and turned my hair into numbers. Only my students can break the curse by answering math questions. Middle school students love read aloud too!#NCSS_Literacy @Loi_McGovern Dr. Jennifer Williams

Exciting things happening at TomeCon. Our Cousins MiddleSchool book club members got to meet the author of “Nura and the Immortal Palace” and learn more about the plight of child labor. Maeeda/M.T. Khan #ReadAcrossNewton #TomeCon2024

“Lunch and code” was awesome yesterday. The students used code to make Harry the Hawk from the Atlanta Hawks dribble the ball and dunk. #codingrocks

We took 120 of our favorite book club buddies to TomeCon today. What a beautiful culmination to our Read Across Newton book clubs 2024! #ncssbethebest NCSS

Day 1 of our Cousins MiddleSchool Dr. Seuss book fair was a success. We celebrated Green Eggs and Ham by wearing green. Pictured below are the winners from our raffle. We also had some Dr. Seuss read aloud in our SS 6th grade classes.

Our AMAZING Media Specialist Patrice Peek goes beyond the bounds of being in the media center. She was providing small group instruction to our 8th grade scholars. Cousins MiddleSchool

Celebrating literacy through storytime with middle school students. We used “I Want My Hat Back” to discuss character traits and used textual evidence to analyze the plot. Thanks Molly Bowden for the great idea!! #internationalliteracyday Lori McGovern Dr. Jennifer Williams Ijeoma Johnson

Cousins MiddleSchool celebrated International Literacy Day today. The kids each received a new book of their own. This was a great event! Patrice Peek Molly Bowden #NCSAchieves

Fractions are fun when Patrice Peek reads Whole-y Cow to sixth graders! This picture book makes a tough concept easily accessible to all. Students discussed fractions in the real world, and even used numerator and denominator correctly. Lori McGovern #ReadAcrossNewton

I Want My Hat Back by jon klassen turned into newspaper articles with Book Creator Team! These 8th graders rocked the assignment in S. Fulton’s class Cousins MiddleSchool! They reviewed essential criteria of journalism while tapping into their creative side!! #ReadAcrossNewton

I just love when I enter into a math class and see a story written with vocabulary terms to introduce algebra. Ms. Chambers encouraged her class to read out loud and discuss what the bolded words mean. #literacyinmath #ReadacrossNewton Cousins MiddleSchool

Sometimes we all need a brain break and “Lunch and Trivia” in the media center is the perfect opportunity to do so. All three grade levels were locked in with Grammar questions. #mediacentersmatter

Our Student of the Month celebration took place today at Cousins MiddleSchool Our scholars received a certificate and the wonderful words their teacher shared when they were nominated.

Book club met today to compare the labors of Hercules (myth) vs labors of Hercules (book). Compare and Contrast is a great strategy to look at similarities and differences between characters. #bookclubs Lori McGovern Ijeoma Johnson Dr. Jennifer Williams

A big thank you to Molly Bowden and Dr. Shaterria Dollar for reading aloud to our students during Read Across America. Middle school students love read aloud too. Lori McGovern Dr. Jennifer Williams
