Magnolia Fifth Graders Participate in Enrichment Activities

Each Friday, fifth graders at Magnolia are participating in activities that enrich and extend the curriculum.  Enrichment activities are enjoyable and challenging learning experiences that are constructed around students' interests, learning styles, and preferred modes of expression.  Research has shown that an enrichment-based approach (rather than drill-and-practice) actually improves student achievement, improves attendance, minimizes suspensions, increases student and teacher engagement, and promotes greater job satisfaction on the part of teachers. Trussville City Schools is working to implement enrichment opportunities for all students, as well as opportunities for students to expand on those areas of personal interest.
