A Lesson
In Geology
Third graders at East
Jackson Elementary School
studied soils, rocks and
minerals. As part of their
studies, students visited
Consolidated Gold Mines in
Dahlonega to learn about
where minerals come from
and how they are used.
Each student had to create
his or her own rock collec
tion showing what they had
learned about attributes
of rocks and minerals. The
collections were displayed
in the “3rd Grade Rockin’
Rock Museum” during the
November PTSO meeting
for parents and students
to view. Shown above with
their rock collections are,
left to right, Mark Thomas,
Ridge Chaisson, Katie Beth
McMurray, Rachel Anderson
and Sierra Taylor. To the
left with their collections
are Alex Gattis, Briana Law,
Mireya Diaz and Savannah
Harrell.
Learns All Sight Words
Alexis Love, a kindergarten student at Commerce Primary
School, recently learned all of her sight words. She is pictured
with Principal Kim Savage wearing her new sight word T-shirt.
Locals Tapped For Duke Program
Several local students at Athens Academy have qualified for the Duke
Talent Identification Program.
They are Bobby Marshburn, son of Dr. and Mrs. Robert P. Marshburn,
Homer; and Charlie Newcomer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas A.
Newcomer, Commerce.
Qualification required scores at or above the 95 percentile on ver
bal or mathematical sections of nationally-normed tests approved by
Duke’s program for academically gifted students.
The Duke Talent Identification Program was established in 1980 to
identify bright students and to enable gifted and talented programs to
help these students develop their abilities. The program’s talent search
involves students from 16 southern, southwestern and midwestern
states. It is one of four university-based talent searches that combine to
cover the entire United States.
Students who qualified will take the SAT or ACT college admissions
tests. The seventh graders who perform exceptionally well on one of
these tests are invited to attend summer programs at Duke. In addi
tion, the higher scoring students are invited to a state recognition
ceremony.
