What do you think these young birders found during their search of the PLES campus? Students in second through fifth grades can join the PLES Birders group that meets after school on Fridays to learn more about local birds. Contact Beverly Hughes for more information.
Join us at Bartow's STEM Camp for the "Tech Trailblazer Academy: Architects of the Future!" Designed for students currently in grades 2-6, this fun and educational camp will explore the incredible worlds of AI, 3D printing, game design, esports, augmented and virtual reality, drones, robotics, and so much more! Don't miss the chance to ignite your child's creativity and innovation. Sign up now and watch them become future tech leaders! Space is limited and spots are going quickly.
Mrs. Card's third-grade class used the production room in the Learning Log to record videos for the "My Dream Bedroom" assignment. Students explained the geometric and energy choices they made as a technology product.
We're strumming right along to the end of the school year. Sophia learned to play on the ukulele in music class this year.
Anthony hefts a small case of water bottles to keep second grade hydrated for a field trip to the Eco Center. We are thankful for Anthony's helpful spirit and kind actions.
Thanks to a generous donation by Grateful Painting, LLC., fifth-grade students are making great progress on their painted wood planks. These painted self-portraits will be attached to the fence that borders the playground to deter Killdeer from nesting in the playground. This art project is part of our multi-year long PBL for grades 3-5.
Attendance Matters!
Upcoming 6th graders!!! Tryouts are coming up!
Beware of the predators! Last year, students in fourth grade created predators using recycled materials. Those students researched Killdeer predators during art class to find away to keep Killdeer from nesting on the playgrounds since the sanctuary was not built yet. Today, the now fifth-grade students who built the predators last year attached their build to the chain link fence that stands between the upper playground and the Killdeer sanctuary.
Don't forget.. The last day to order a yearbook is March 28th!
Get those orders in!

We would like to thank Sherwin Williams-Cartersville location and Grateful Painting for their generous donation of Paint and Brushes for our 5th Grade STEM Project with "Legacy Art". This project will be displayed outside near our Killdeer Sanctuary in hopes of keeping the Killdeer off the Playground and cause them to use the sanctuary that was built for them. Without the generosity of the community, Pine Log Children would not be able to be exposed to all the wonderful learning experiences we work to provide for them to be successful.
This class stopped by the Learning Log to check out decorations for the book fair with a medieval theme.
These third-grade students enjoyed reading by a window filled with art work.
We are so proud of our esports team for winning first place at a county meet on Monday, March 10, also known as Mar10 Day.
Happy Friday! Anthony is a very talented designer who always brings his best to our STEM challenges. Anthony built this cardboard chicken coop to celebrate the Pine Log Chicks!
It's easy to find a good friend at Pine Log Elementary School. In addition to engaging academics, we promote good character, teamwork and social skills, problem solving through S.T.E.M. activities, and pride in our community.
It's always a beautiful day at Pine Log Elementary School where we celebrate Pride, Leadership, Engagement, and Safety.
Good news from the Killdeer sanctuary:
We received a generous donation of 31 eight-foot 2'x4' pretreated boards from Kendra Johnson and North Georgia Truss Systems.
The boards will be used to keep the donated materials separated in the sanctuary (habitats) and reduce erosion (5th grade science). Students will be adding the materials (mulch, sand, sawdust, slag) to complete the sanctuary on Friday.
You can learn more about North Georgia Truss Systems at http://www.ngtruss.com/ or call Kendra at (770) 387-4227.
Thank you for being a Pine Log STEM Community Partner!
Update from the Hen Den:
Meet Fluffy! Luke West donated money to support the Hen Den for a month and named one of our new Cinnamon Queens (CQs). Luke learned about the financial needs of maintaining the Hen Den when his second-grade class recently studied economics.
We are hopeful that the CQs will start laying soon to supply fresh eggs for our weekly egg raffle. The Hen Den’s focus is to give students at Pine Log a living, on-campus example of life cycles.
Thank you, Luke!

PLES is sending a thank you to Tidwell Plumbing for removing the top layer of grass from the Killdeer sanctuary site on Thursday, January 30. We believe that moving the dirt, then adding landscape fabric will reduce the weeds growing through the sanctuary materials: mulch, sand, sawdust, and slag. Thank you Tidwell Plumbing for the donation of time and labor to help our Killdeer PBL.
