Last week, Mr. McMahan and Mr. Bradford took 132 First Grade students from Clinton Primary School on a field trip to Little Rock to hear and watch the Arkansas Symphony perform. They were entertained with music from around the globe. Ms. Karber, who accompanied the group, said, "Because of the inclement weather, we picnicked on the buses outside the Fair Park. I overheard one student proclaim the, 'best day ever!'" #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture
David McCrary shares: Some of the Ag Metals students went to United Welding Institute in Pottsville, Ar to visit the school and see all the different areas of certifications they could be trained on. Thank you to Jonathan Humphrey owner of United Welding Institute for allowing us to come. #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture
From Gina Karber: Clinton Primary fourth graders completed a Because of Winn-Dixie novel study this week. As we studied all the characters and the heartfelt changes each made throughout, we learned today that we have all changed too. We have new and special perspectives on friendship, acceptance, and courage ALL BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE.
Pictures shown are of our parties, replicating the party held in the novel to bring everyone together to celebrate the many beautiful things we all share. It consisted of Miss Gloria's Dump Punch, Otis's pickles, Littmus Lozenges, and the triangle sandwiches without the crust! What a wonderful way to celebrate our love for reading! #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture

Students in Mrs. Carr's 3rd Grade Literacy class peer-reviewed their narrative writing. Students were able to provide feedback to each other on the introduction portion of their essays. By doing so, students were given the chance to learn from each other and practice communication skills. It was really rewarding to hear them provide each other with positive and helpful feedback and reflect on their own errors. #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture
