Math Team Competes at City Tournament
This is Austinville's third year to participate in the Decatur City Schools' Math Tournament. We are celebrating our successes! Third graders on the team placed fifth among the competing schools. They are certainly excited about their trophy. The TOP scoring student from each grade on each school's team was also recognized. Medals in this category went to Martin Gutierrez in third grade, Mario Lindero Barrera in fourth grade, and fifth grade winner, Deserae Ray. Ms. Hales treated the Math Team to Chik-fil-A and a few minutes of fun time at Wilson Morgan Park. The team is coached by Ms. Mary Alice Cagle.

Pre-K through 5th Grade Students Enjoying NEW Game in PE Academics In Motion For Physical Intensity Everyday
By using 228 individually-lettered balls as game pieces, students must expend lots of energy to spell words. Letters on balls rolling across the floor can create great motivation for movement! AIM4PIE as the game is called may be enjoyed by the youngest non-reading students by using verbal task commands while beginning readers and older established readers can be challenged by simply changing the complexity of the word/task cards. Students will experience physical intensity through running, skipping, galloping, and leaping which provides for immediate daily fitness needs. Students will also have the opportunity to improve in the areas of gross/fine motor skills, eye hand coordination, spatial awareness, agility/balance, oppositional skills of throwing to target and striking skills. After retrieving letter balls, students return to their team to spell words in order to complete the activity.
