DISTRICT CHAMPS!

Red Lick Baseball Claims District Championship with Support from Texas A&M–Texarkana

Huge congratulations to our Red Lick Middle School Baseball team for bringing home the District Championship trophy on Monday! The winning momentum actually started last Thursday, October 1st, when the Texas A&M University–Texarkana baseball team paid our Mustangs a special visit! The Eagles spent time talking with our players about sportsmanship and the mental toughness it takes to succeed on and off the field. They wrapped up the afternoon in the best way possible by sharing pizza and facing off in a friendly game of wiffle ball!

Fast forward to championship game day on Monday, October 5th, and our friends from TAMUT took their support to the next level. The Eagles packed the stands, cheering loud as the Mustangs fought their way to victory! A massive THANK YOU to TAMUT Baseball for being incredible role models, and congratulations again to our District Champions! We are so proud of you, Mustangs! Check out the photos below from the meet-and-greet, wiffle ball fun, and Monday’s big championship win! #RedLickMustangs #DistrictChamps #TAMUTEagles #MustangPride #TheHerd

Mrs. Mennie’s class wrapped up our Apple unit being an Apple Investigator! 🔎 We had so much fun but they loved taste testing the different color apples the best! 🍏💛🍎

Our third graders kicked off their new Human Body unit today by creating skeletons using pasta! A fun, hands-on way to start a new unit!

➕📚 Learning in action!
Our first graders are building their math skills through hands-on activities, teamwork, and lots of big smiles! 💙🤍 Every Mustang. Every Day.

🍪🔬 The Great Oreo Mystery Has Been Solved!
Mr. Rankins’ 5th Grade Science students put Double Stuf and Mega Stuf Oreos to the test—and the results are in!
Through hands-on investigation and data analysis, students found that Double Stuf Oreos have about 2x the filling mass of a regular Oreo, while Mega Stuf has about 3x the filling mass!
Who knew Oreos could teach us so much? Our Mustangs are proving that science is everywhere. Smart cookies! 🧪🍪 theherd

This past Friday, third-grade students explored STEM principles and computational thinking using Cubelets.

Because each block contains its own microprocessor and pre-programmed software, students gain an intuitive understanding of inputs, processing, and outputs through real-time physical assembly.

Technology class was full of energy, sound, light, and motion as students brought their robotic systems to life!

🫒🏛️ Ending Unit 2 with an Ancient Greek olive taste test! A few friends said, “YUM!” 😋

Most said, “Ummm…NO THANK YOU!” 😂😂

We learned that olives were a big part of Ancient Greek life—and our 2nd graders definitely have BIG opinions about them!

🫒🤣 Unit 2: Ancient Greek Civilization ✔️🏛️

🚌If you have a student that rides the bus, check your email for an invitation to use Stopfinder.  Stopfinder is an app that you can use to track your student's bus location and even setup up phone alerts to let you know when they are near home or the school.🚌

Turning screen time into real computer science skills in technology class! Students are using Osmo Coding Duo to code Awbie and Mo to complete challenges to rescue the hoppets! The characters interact with the levels differently; for instance, Awbie can jump over obstacles and gaps, while Mo can create bridges or block hazards. Don't worry hoppets; students are coding Awbie and Mo to the rescue!

Math time just got an upgrade! Our first graders are diving deep into numbers using Osmo on the iPad in technology class. Every time they pop numbered bubbles with correct answers, they earn colorful fish and coral to build their very own virtual aquariums. Learning math has never been this swimmingly fun!

Mrs. Hervey’s kindergarteners wrapped up their germ unit with a hands-on experiment to see science in action. The big takeaway? Soap really does work magic to wash those sneaky germs away!

🎮✨ Designing the Next Big Game!
Our fourth graders are stepping into the shoes of video game designers! Using Bloxels, they spent today bringing their original game concepts to life—designing hero characters, sneaky enemies, power-ups, and collectible coins. 🦸‍♂️👾💥🪙
Next week, the real fun begins as they build interactive levels for their characters to conquer!
We can’t wait to see what these young designers create! 🎮✨
