Thanks to a grant from the Tennessee Art's Commission, Calhoun students in grades 6-8 watched a live performance titled “The Stories And Poems of Edgar Allan Poe” by Bright Star Touring Theatre.
Students learned about Poe's childhood and watched as his literature came to life through expert storytelling. Stories included "The Bell's", "The Cask of Amontillado", "Annabel Lee" and "The Raven" where Mrs. Melissa Trotter was cast as the raven.
Several 4th and 5th grade IE groups learned about the Boston Tea Party last week and finished with a STEAM challenge making a crate to float a tea bag. A Boston Harbor was made today and crates were thrown overboard. Mrs. Garrison’s tea stayed dry the longest! Congratulations to these students in their victory!
Homerooms are in need of items for PTO auction baskets before Fall Break. Below is a list of homerooms and themes.
In addition, if you as an individual or a business would like to donate something for the auction, we would be very appreciative.
Please note these dates
