When we’re working toward a goal, sometimes we have to make difficult choices. Our school motto reminds us that we can’t always choose what is most fun, what our friends are doing, or what we’d rather be doing. We have to choose what is BEST RIGHT NOW to reach our goals!
Abraham Lincoln reminds us, “Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.”
Braylee and Azlynn were caught this week making BEST choices—and helping those around them make choices that move them closer to their goals, too!

🫧 Spelling practice got a little messy at CCETA!
Students in Mrs. Teressa Davis’s elementary class traded pencils and paper for shaving cream as they practiced spelling rules and patterns!
Students used the shaving cream to write out words, recognize patterns, and reinforce the spelling skills they’ve been learning in class.
Hands on activities like this make practice memorable, engaging, and a whole lot more fun! 🔵⚪

🌱 This year, our 4th graders are taking on a hands-on service-learning project: growing a classroom garden.💙🤍Students will help plan what to grow, prepare and plant their garden, care for it throughout the year, and eventually harvest what they produce.
Along the way, they’ll connect science and math to real-life learning while developing responsibility, teamwork, and perseverance. 🌻
Pictured is 4th grader Maverick Kemp receiving a donation for our garden project from First National Bank of Eastern Arkansas! We have also received support from Changes Behavioral Health, Clark Dillard CPA, and Caldwell Pharmacy! We are incredibly grateful for their support of our students and this hands-on learning experience.
We would also love to connect with other community members or organizations who may be interested in partnering with our 4th graders. If you’d like to support this project, please reach out to Toni Wake!
Thank you for helping our T-Birds grow! 🌱💙

🌱 What can the color of soil tell us? More than you might think!
Students in Mrs. Cassidy Cline’s CASE Plant Science class got hands on with soil science during their “Water Colors” activity.
Using soil samples and a soil color chart, students examined hue, value, and chroma to learn what soil color can reveal about organic matter, water saturation, drainage, and overall soil health.
Students used their observations to think like agricultural scientists, investigating the factors that influence soil color and considering ways to better manage soil and water.
Hands on activities like this help students connect what they learn in the classroom to real world agriculture! 🌱
