DT Cox Elementary School News

(3/6) Today, 4th grade ELA classes had a sweet way to work toward their AR goals! Students read about cakes, decorated their own, and labeled each layer with themes, settings, and character traits from the books they’ve read. They topped off the lesson with a delicious shortcake treat!

(3/6) Math + sunshine = the perfect lesson! ☀️📐 Our 4th grade teachers took learning outside with a Geometry Scavenger Hunt, where students searched high and low around campus to find shapes and angles in the real world. Hands-on learning makes math even more fun!

(3/5) The Pontotoc Choir put on a magnificent performance today for our students. Thank you so much for coming and sharing your voices with us!

(3/5) Mrs. Hodum's class read "The Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss, and then watched the animated version to compare and contrast the book and the video. Students discussed similarities and differences in characters, setting, and events. To wrap up, they designed their own creative hats and imagined their own Cat-inspired adventures, bringing their learning to life in a fun and engaging way.

(3/5) We would eat them in a box.
We would eat them with a fox.
We would eat them here or there…
We would eat Green Eggs and Ham anywhere! 💚🍳
A big THANK YOU to our amazing cafeteria team for serving up this fun treat today to help us celebrate Read Across America Week. Our students loved it! We appreciate all the hard work our cafeteria staff does each day to make the cafe' a special place at DT Cox! 📚✨

(3/3) Mrs. Hodum’s class put a fun twist on benchmark review! ✏️🎉
Students teamed up with a partner to “dissect” their story, digging deeper into the details and strengthening their understanding. Then they wrapped it up with an exciting round of Kahoot! for review! Learning + teamwork + a little friendly competition = a great day in class!

(3/6) Congratulations to the following students for receiving positive office referrals this week. Keep up the good work!

(3/3) For National Anthem Day, one of our very own class Writing Warriors, Cora Hill, took the lead and taught an engaging writing lesson on why “The Star-Spangled Banner” is a great choice for our national anthem! 🇺🇸
She kicked things off with a song to set the tone, then guided her classmates through common mistakes to avoid when using the RACES writing strategy. We are so proud of her leadership, confidence, and hard work! Way to go, Cora! ✨

(2/27) Our Beta Club students showed what service truly means today! They brought in donations and worked together to pack a special thank-you basket for the PEPA workers who helped our community during the recent ice storm. We are so proud of their servant hearts and willingness to give back. Thank you, Beta Club, for making a difference! 🖤💛📦

(2/27) The DT Cox Warrior Club seeks to encourage future leaders in the areas of citizenship, service and responsibility. We are proud to announce our featured Warrior club member of the month- Jaxon Russell.
