Last week Mr. Clark's 2nd grade class made a classroom work farm to compost their lunch scraps to make soil to grow plants with in the spring. Creating the fertile soil via composting helped the students learn about the importance of fertile soil to the Ancient Indus Valley Civilization they are learning about in their class. We can't wait to see what they are able to grow in the spring!

Is it hot enough to melt crayons??
Mrs. Dargan's Pre-K class headed outside today to answer that exact question!
The students made predictions on what would happen when they left a tray of colorful crayons in the sun to see what the heat would do.
It didn't take long for the hot sun to melt the crayons! Ask your little scientist tonight what happened to the crayons when they got hot!!

Thank you to our presenters and attendees for making today’s orientation such a success. We are ecstatic for the upcoming year and can’t wait to see the difference each of our teachers will make!
Preparing the next generation of educators! 📚💙
Last night, we welcomed students and families to Center Point High School for the UAB-JEFCOED Teacher Academy open house! Members of our JEFCOED Family learned all about the magnet program, toured the wing that will house the Teacher Academy, and even got to meet some of the program’s educators.
We’re beyond excited that students will not only have the chance to gain valuable experience in the field of education, but also complete a significant portion of their college degree at no cost. The future of education is bright — and it’s being developed right here at JEFCOED!
