Teacher of the Month Mrs. Allyssa Hannah
Education: I received a Bachelor of Science with a major in Elementary Education from Tennessee Technological University in May of 2020.
Experience: The 2020-2021 school year was my first year as a teacher. I was so lucky to start my teaching career as the 3rd grade Science and Social Studies teacher at Flintville School. This 2020-2021 school year will be my second year as a Flintville Bobcat in 3rd grade Science and Social Studies.
Personal: I live on a cattle farm in Lynchburg Tn with my husband Zach and our dog Layne. I love being outdoors and spending time with family and friends. I am so excited to start another school year as part of the Flintville Family! Go Bobcats!
Academics
Math (HALL): Before Winter Break, students learned how to generate, simplify, and compare fractions using multiplication and division. In January, we will begin to add and subtract fractions. We will use models to represent fractions and find sums and differences involving fractions.
ELA (PEARSON): We are currently studying a unit on Poetry. We are creating our own similes and metaphors. We are learning all kinds of poetry devices, such as rhyming and alliteration. We are learning different poetry terms such as stanza.
From the Principal
Welcome back to the Spring Semester here at Flintville School. We hope you had a great Christmas Break and safely enjoyed the extra snow/weather days. I wanted to share the importance of attendance during this semester. It is during this semester that our students take the TCAP test (TNReady). To ensure that your child receives the highest quality of education, please do all that you can to make sure your child attends each day. Our teachers and our students are held to a very high standard on the TCAP, and we want to make sure we do everything possible to get them prepared for this test.
Mrs. Lindsey's Lessons
Goals are crucial to school success (and areas of life beyond the classroom).
Setting and tracking goals helps your child learn important life skills such as planning, organization, and time management while also building communication skills, self-awareness, and confidence.
Creating and tracking goals is a great way to understand your child’s current academic standing and allows you to focus on determining direction for the future.
Counselor's Corner
The students are learning about health and body safety in guidance class this week. I thought this was perfect timing since we are all returning from a long break and bringing all of our germs with us! Did YOU know there is a CORRECT way to wash and disinfect your hands?? Read below to learn how and take a BIG STEP toward keeping you and your family healthy.
Washing hands can keep you healthy and prevent the spread of infections. Germs can spread from other people or surfaces when you:
Touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
Prepare or eat food and drinks with unwashed hands
Touch a contaminated surface or objects
Blow your nose, cough, or sneeze into hands and then touch other people’s hands or common objects
To prevent the spread of germs, you should also wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol to clean hands BEFORE and AFTER:
Touching your eyes, nose, or mouth
Touching your mask
Entering and leaving a public place
Touching an item or surface that may be frequently touched by other people, such as door handles, tables, gas pumps, shopping carts, or electronic cashier registers/screens
Follow these Five Steps to Wash Your Hands the Right Way
Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
If soap and water are not readily available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. You can tell if the sanitizer contains at least 60% alcohol by looking at the product label.
Sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs on hands in many situations. However,
Sanitizers do not get rid of all types of germs.
Hand sanitizers may not be as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.
Hand sanitizers might not remove harmful chemicals from hands like pesticides and heavy metals.
How to Use Hand Sanitizer
Apply the gel product to the palm of one hand
Rub your hands together.
Rub the gel over all the surfaces of your hands and fingers until your hands are dry. This should take around 20 seconds. Your hands should be WET, do not wipe it off. The drying process kills the germs.
