Science came to life in 4th grade today! 🌊🔬
We had a special visitor from the Nature Center who brought a "stream table" to help us explore erosion. Through hands-on experimentation, our students got to see firsthand how flowing water shapes the land and shifts sediment over time.
This interactive simulation really made our classroom science lessons click! A big thank you to Sydney Stewart and the Nature Center for bringing such an engaging, memorable learning experience to our kiddos.

APPLE VISITS CROSS COUNTY!
We were excited to welcome Kimberly Brownlee and Nancy Garvey from Apple to Cross County on Tuesday!

💻 At the high school, they visited classrooms to see MacBooks in action.
📱 At the elementary school, they explored how our younger learners are using iPads in the classroom.

📚🕯️ SOMETHING SPOOKY IS BREWING IN 10TH GRADE ENGLISH!
Our 10th grade English students kicked off their study of Shakespeare’s Macbeth with a creative twist: a Macbeth Book Tasting! 🎭
Students explored an eerie menu featuring several “courses,” including Shakespearean line translations, historical background, character introductions, and spooky treats!
This creative introduction gave students a chance to get a taste of the characters, language, and history behind one of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies before diving into the play.
Who knew Shakespeare could be so deliciously spooky?

LIGHTING UP LEARNING IN CHEMISTRY!
Students in Mrs. Nikki Williams’ Chemistry class brought a little color to the lab as they performed flame tests on different salts!
By observing the colors produced when the salts were heated, students explored the connection between electron energy levels and the emission of light.
It’s one thing to learn about electrons in a textbook, but another to see the science right before your eyes!
Great hands on learning happening at Cross County!
