Longwood 3rd -5th grade students are practicing their typing skills! Students are working on hand placement on the keyboard, accuracy, and speed. We know they will be expert typists in no time!


Take a look at Ms. Catron's Agenda Board for ELA and Math. It's very descriptive and colorful too! Nicely done!



In Mrs. Brooks 3rd Grade class, students were building a knowledge word bank with fables in their ELA workbooks. What a great way to learn vocabulary. Well done Mrs. Brooks and class!



In 6th grade Social Studies, students are learning about “History Without Writing”. They have learned about Oral Traditions, Physical Artifacts, and Visual Artifacts. They are demonstrating their learning by creating a poster that focuses on a type of artifact and how it teaches us about pre-historic history without writing! This project focuses on collaboration and visual arts! Keep up the good work 6th Grade!



Happy Monday! Fall is here! Take a look at the fun activities 6th Grade has planned for the months of September, October and November.

Welcome to Mrs. Gates’ technology class! You might be wondering – where are the computers? Before students start working with technology, Mrs. Gates teaches about good Digital Citizenship.

Do you remember your first experiences in using technology?
