We deeply appreciate our teachers. Today, they took time to share gratitude by writing notes for each other and placing them on a co-workers turkey. Our students are truly fortunate to have such exceptional educators.

Our Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast was such a special moment today! The kids gathered around like one big classroom family—sharing food, laughing, and soaking up every bit of the fun. Moments like these remind us how thankful we are for this sweet group of little learners and the joy they bring to our room every single day. 🦃🍁❤️ #MJEchampions

Mrs. Lofton’s students had so much fun creating their own Thanksgiving turkeys!

We practiced counting skills by using cereal pieces to make colorful turkey feathers. Students were given a number, and they had to count out the exact amount of Fruit Loops to match it before adding them to their turkey. This hands-on activity helped reinforce number recognition, counting, and fine-motor skills—all while getting into the Thanksgiving spirit! #MJEchampions

Mrs. Horton's 1st grade class used their imagination today and created their very own balloon float. Students listened to "Balloons Over Broadway" and talked about the process it takes to create one of the balloon floats. They are excited to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to see if there is a balloon float like their own flying high! #PerseverancePropelsProgress #LearningLeading #MJEchampions

Ms. Weaver’s and Ms. Qualls’ second graders came together today for a special Friendsgiving! 🧡

We enjoyed our ‘Thanksgiving feast’—popcorn, jelly beans, pretzels, French toast cereal (shaped like bread), just like in “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!”The kids turned and talked to share someone and something they’re thankful for, then listened to the story together while enjoying their snack. Grateful for friendship, laughter, and this sweet second-grade family!🍁🦃🤎🧡

Congratulations to our 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Qualls for winning a $1000 grant from Alabama Power Foundation. The grant will be used to support Mrs. Qualls’ project title, “Putting Geography in the Hands of Students.” She plans to provide students modern, hands on resources, including updated maps, durable interactive globes, and cultural knowledge through games. She cannot wait to help her little learners be rich in geographic literature. The enhancement of these skills will also aid the students to understand and interpret complex information, which is essential for advanced reading comprehension, problem-solving, and data interpretation.  #PerseverancePropelsProgress #LearningLeading #MJEchampions

Mrs. Fortner's second-grade class collaborated with Mrs. Danzey's first-grade class to explore the significance of details in writing. The second graders had previously composed instructions on making a peanut butter sandwich. Upon reviewing a few, the students noticed that several crucial steps were missing.

During their unit on family, friends, and pets, Pre-K was honored to have one of our local heroes join us. SGT Sydney Lee, Military Working Dog Handler and a graduate of Citronelle High School in 2016, has devoted 6 years of her life to the Army serving our country. The students were greeted with a real-life war dog and Army veteran, SAL, who served alongside her. She brought her knowledge and experience to McDavid-Jones to show the kiddos just how cool her job really is. The students enjoyed every minute of it. We are so proud of you, Syd. Thank you for spending time with our students! ❤️💙
