After reading Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes, Mrs. Danzey’s class learned that our names are special because they are a part of who we are! Just like Chrysanthemum loved her name, we can be proud of our own names.

Most importantly, we learned that our words and actions can affect how others feel. We should always treat our classmates with kindness, respect, and caring hearts. We never know when a kind word or a friendly smile might make someone’s day better. #BeThe Reason #MCPSS #MJE #LearningLeading #RaiseTheBar

Ms. Bullard's class had an amazing time reading "The Day a Monster came to School"! Together, the class worked as a team to create awesome class rules that everyone could follow. Then, each student got to design their very own monster—what a creative and fun way to bring the story to life! #mcpss #LearningLeading #oneteamonegoal #MJE #bethereason

Help us welcome another fabulous addition to our faculty, a new first grade teacher. Here is a little introduction:

Hi! I’m Mrs. Davis, and I’m so excited to teach first grade! I recently graduated with my degree in Child and Social Development from the University of Mobile and have several years of experience working with elementary students. I love making learning fun, building relationships, and helping every child grow in confidence. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, cheering on my kids at the ballfield, drinking coffee, and reading a good book. I can’t wait for an amazing school year together!
